Sanning's Book on World Jewish Population B4 & after WW2

[abduLMaria]

he seems to do a thorough study where he really digs for accurate census numbers.

"Let us look into the number of Jews living in the world before World War II.

Let me give you some details regarding the Jewish population in Europe prior to WWII: - the world's Jewish population faced a serious demographic crisis before WWII. This was true even for Jews living in Eastern Europe.

- during the 1930's roughly 1,000,000 Jews left the historical places in central and eastern Europe for North and South America, Palestine, western Europe and several other minor recipient countries.

- at the beginning of WWII there were less than 16 million Jews in the world. They were found in the following areas:

- United States of America: .......................................... 5,0 million (4,8)

- USSR (including Baltic states) .................................... 5,3 million (3,2)

- Palestine .................................................................. 0,4 million (0,4)

- European countries occupied by Germany during WWII: 2,9 million (6,1)

- rest of the world: ....................................................... 2,4 million (2,2)
Total ....................................................................... 16,9 million (16,6)

- at the outbreak of the war the largest part of the Jews were moved to Siberia.

Less then 15% of the Jews living in the Soviet Union fell into German hands.

- one million Jews died while fighting in the Red Army or in Siberia. (even though their brethren ran the gulags. If interested I can give you names of some of the Jews who ran the gulags in the USSR.)

After WWII there were 14,7 million Jews in the world. They were spread as follows:

- United State of America ............................................... 5,2 million (5,0)

- USSR (including Baltic states) ...................................... 4,3 million (2,0)

- Palestine .................................................................... 0,6 million (0,6)

- European countries occupied by Germany during WWII: 2,4 million (1,1)

- rest of the world: ....................................................... 2,2 million (2,3
Total ........................................................................ 14,7 million (11,0)

These numbers come from the book "The Dissolution of the Eastern European Jewry" by Walter N. Sanning, 2nd Edition Torrance/California 1985"

"2) Sanning appears to be a competent and expert historical demographer and, to give him credit, has studied all of the sources. However, his whole work is permeated by willful sleight-of-hand and distortion, and with the possible exception of one part of his discussion, is just as historically worthless as other works of this sort."

Sanning's figures leave a potential of 1.2 million to die in the war --does he spell that out? AbdulMaria, do you know how this fits with other revisionists?

i haven't read the book but i ordered a copy !

the high end of Holocaust casualties i think is 3.5 million.  the plaque at Auschwitz used to read "in memory of the 4 million who died here".  the plaque was changed in the '90's for a new plaque, reading approximately "in memory of the 1.5 million who died here".

if the original 4 million # correlated to another 2 million, that would jibe with the "official" 6 million that has been printed in American history school textbooks.

unless that 2 million # was changed when the plaque at Auschwitz was changed, the new total is 3.5 million.  that's the high end for the number of casualties.

i think it's worth understanding explicitly, because it's such a touchy subject.  that's why i ordered Sanning's book.
