Today, I did a google search on “Why do so many people hate the Jews?” and I found this article in the search results: http://listovative.com/top-10-major-reasons-why-people-hate-jews/
The title of the article is Top Ten Reasons Why People Hate Jews?
Number 10 in the list of Top Ten Reasons, which is shown first, is Racial Cleansing. It is not clear to me whether Jews are hated because the Jews cleanse other races, or whether the Jews are cleansed because other people hate the Jews.
Underneath the headline “Racial Cleansing” is the photo below. (Click on the photo to see it in a larger size)
Men from the town of Ohrdruf were forced to view the bodies of prisoners who had died from typhus
I recognized the photo above because I have the same photo on this page of my website scrapbookpages.com: http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Ohrdruf/Ohrdruf01.html
The photo shows German civilians being forced to view the dead bodies of prisoners, who had died at the Ohrdruf sub-camp of Buchenwald during the last days of World War II. The photo does NOT show the bodies of Jews who were “racially cleansed” because of hatred of the Jews.
These are the bodies of prisoners who had died of typhus and other natural causes, not the bodies of Jews who had been “racially cleansed.” To me, this is a new low in the misuse of photos.
German civilians in the town of Ohrdruf were forced to view dead bodies in the barracks at Ohrdruf
Regarding the Ohrdruf-Nord labor camp, which was a sub-camp of Buchenwald, General Patton wrote the following in his diary:
“It was the most appalling sight imaginable. In a shed . . . was a pile of about 40 completely naked human bodies in the last stages of emaciation. These bodies were lightly sprinkled with lime, not for the purposes of destroying them, but for the purpose of removing the stench.
When the shed was full–I presume its capacity to be about 200, the bodies were taken to a pit a mile from the camp where they were buried. The inmates claimed that 3,000 men, who had been either shot in the head or who had died of starvation, had been so buried since the 1st of January.”

A typhus epidemic had started in Germany in December 1944 and had quickly spread to all the camps as prisoners were transferred from one camp to another. Half of all the prisoners, who died in the German camps, died between December 1944 and the end of June 1945. Yet the survivors of Ohrdruf claimed that all the bodies found at the camp were those of prisoners who had been deliberately killed or starved to death.

It would be hard to find a German town, however small or obscure, that is completely lacking in historic or cultural importance. After describing the crimes of the Germans in his autobiography, General Patton went on to tell about how the Americans wantonly destroyed every village and hamlet in their path.
On the same page of his book, in which he describes the atrocities of the Germans, Patton wrote the following:
“We developed later a system known as the ‘Third Army War Memorial Project’ by which we always fired a few salvos into every town we approached, before even asking for surrender. The object of this was to let the inhabitants have something to show to future generations of Germans by way of proof that the Third Army had passed that way.”
The photo below shows General Eisenhower and General Patton viewing the gallows at Ohrdruf after the camp had been abandoned by the Germans.

In the photo above, the man on the far left, wearing a jacket and a scarf, is one of the survivors who served as a guide for General Eisenhower and his entourage. The next day the guide was “killed by some of the inmates,” General Patton wrote in his memoirs, explaining that the guide “was not a prisoner at all, but one of the executioners.”
A. C. Boyd, a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division was at Ohrdruf on the day that this man was killed. In a news article in The Gadsden Times, Jimmy Smothers wrote the following:
Boyd said he saw a Nazi guard, who had not fled with the others, trying to exit the camp. One of the prisoners, who still had a little strength, ran to a truck, got a tire iron and killed him.
“I witnessed that and saw that no one tried to stop him,” Boyd said.
In a letter dated April 15, 1945, addressed to Ike (General Dwight D. Eisenhower), Patton wrote the following regarding the man who had served as their guide at Ohrdruf:
“It may interest you to know that the very talkative, alleged former member of the murder camp was recognized by a Russian prisoner as a former guard. The prisoner beat his brains out with a rock.”
This prisoner was probably one of the Kapos in the camp whose job it had been to assist the German guards; it is doubtful that an SS soldier would have remained behind when the camp was evacuated, knowing that the prisoners would exact revenge as soon as the Americans arrived.
Note that General Patton referred to Ohrdruf as a “murder camp” in his letter. It is clear from Patton’s letters and his memoir that he did not have a clear understanding of the purpose of the concentration camps and labor camps because he believed everything that the prisoners had told him.
I wrote about General Patton’s visit to the Buchenwald main camp on this blog post: https://furtherglory.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/the-myth-that-general-eisenhower-ordered-german-civilians-to-visit-buchenwald/

Uncle Sam needed to depict the typhus bodies found at the last operational camps of the collapsing Third Reich as those of prisoners who had been deliberately killed, racially cleansed or starved to death.
“The High Cost of Vengeance” by Freda Utley (1949), p. 183:
[quote]
A thoughtful American professor, whom I met in Heidelberg, expressed the opinion that the United States military authorities on entering Germany and seeing the ghastly destruction wrought by our obliteration bombing were fearful that knowledge of it would cause a revulsion of opinion in America, and might prevent the carrying out of Washington’s policy for Germany by awakening sympathy for the defeated, and realization of our war crimes. This, he believes, is the reason why a whole fleet of aircraft was used by General Eisenhower to bring journalists, Congressmen, and churchmen to see the concentration camps; the idea being that the sight of Hitler’s starved victims would obliterate consciousness of our own guilt. Certainly it worked out that way. No American newspaper of large circulation in those days wrote up the horror of our bombing, or described the ghastly conditions in which the survivors were living in the corpse-filled ruins. American readers sipped their fill only of German atrocities.
Whether most Americans in Germany have developed a mental defense mechanism, or really believe that an atrocity ceases to be one when committed in a “good cause,” that is, our own, I do not know. But I found many Military Government officials who considered it bad taste, if not almost treasonable, so much as to refer to our war crimes and those of our allies.
In Berlin, for instance, I found myself in disgrace after having remarked, at a cocktail party in Harnack House, that I thought it was high time we stopped talking about German guilt, since there was no crime the Nazis had committed, which we or our allies had not also committed. I had referred to our obliteration bombing, the mass expropriation and expulsion from their homes of twelve million Germans on account of their race; the starving of the Germans during the first years of the occupation; the use of prisoners as slave laborers; the Russian concentration camps, and the looting perpetrated by Americans as well as Russians.

Democracies’ war propaganda is always based on demonizing atrocity propaganda. When you pretend to be a peace-loving good-doer as all democratic leaders claim to be, you must systematically demonize your enemy when you go to war.
“In the first World War British propaganda had to invent the stories of German soldiers bayoneting Belgian babies, because there were too few real atrocities to feed the hatred against the enemy.” – Erich Fromm
When you’ve claimed for years that you were fighting for no less than the survival of civilization itself, you have to find the Devil in person in your enemy’s house, especially when you fought like a mad barbaric mass murderer as Uncle Sam did during WW2.

There was probably plenty of anti-German atrocity propaganda placed into Stars & Stripes and in training/instruction films shown to the GIs which were made by Hollywood directors. Jack Glenn was making them on movie sets on Staten Island. http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/fake/GlennObit.html When Dacau was liberated and Jack Bushyhead started machine gunning men who had just surrendered he was probably under the impression that they had deliberately been gassing, starving and working the prisoners to death there. The Holocaust “meme” had been seeded in the media by Britain’s PWE (Political Warfare Executive) working in tandem with the the US Dept. of Psychological Warfare SHAEF whose HQ was in London before it was moved to Berlin after VE Day. General William S. Paley (the head of CBS) and General C.D. Jackson (editor of Time, LIFE and Fortune magazines) worked with Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart of the PWE in spreading disinformation about what whas going in the German camp system inside and outside the Reich throughout the war. Don’t forget, too, that camp kapos were often Communists. Every name on the dedication list of Eugen Kogen’s Der SS Staat (titled The Theory and Practice of Hell in the US) was a Communist or a Socialist and they have never had any reservations about using deception to promote and enforce their collectivist worldview.
