Thought for Today

 

Right through the ages we find this universal sense of Divine inspiration - this feeling that a wisdom beyond that of man shapes the destiny of States; that the institutions of men are but the imperfect instruments of a Divine and beneficent energy; helping their higher aims. Should not we, sir, grant the prayer of the many petitions that have been presented to us, by recognising at the opening of our great future our dependence upon God?
Delegate John Glynn, South Australia, Constitutional Convention, 1897

Dr. Wilhelm Staeglich, brings the rare perspective of a wartime eyewitness, whose duties as a German anti-aircraft artillery officer took him to Auschwitz in 1944, and an experienced magistrate, who served for twenty years in the judiciary of Hamburg. What the young German officer saw there contrasts sharply with common notions of the camp: "At that time, in the so-called ‘Stammlager’ [original camp] of Auschwitz, I saw orderly quarters and sanitary facilities, and internees who were well nourished and who appeared to have neither special demoralization nor fear, let alone a fear of death. Moreover, I never noticed mistreatments of internees nor, in particular, any sign-such as clouds of smoke or the stench of burning corpses - of the mass extermination of human beings." Disturbed by the obvious discrepancies between what he witnessed and the picture of Auschwitz which emerged at the war's end, Staeglich, who after the war earned his doctorate in law at the famous University of Gottingen and then completed a distinguished career on the bench, at length undertook to confront his own past, that of his country, and the evidence for mass inhumanity at Auschwitz. The result: “Auschwitz: A Judge Looks at the Evidence”, is a systematic, critical examination of the documents, testimonies, confessions, and personal accounts which represent Auschwitz as a center for programmatic extermination by gassing and other means. The fulminations of Hitler and Goebbels, the bureaucratic formulations of Himmler and Eichmann, the confessions of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss, the accounts of Auschwitz inmates from Vrba and Nyiszli to Filip Muller and Primo Levi, the vast accumulation of expert testimony at the famous West German Auschwitz trial: Dr. Staeglich has sifted through all of them, evaluated all of them, and pronounced on their evidential value in establishing Auschwitz as an extermination center.
