Chapter 1043

I'm afraid Roosevelt and them will have the same suspicion as James, because before telling the story, he specially emphasized: "Mr. President, what I mean by the" gas bath "is not the kind of bathroom in a family, but similar to the public bathroom, which can accommodate hundreds of people at a time. If there is anything you don't understand in my next talk, you can ask questions at any time, and I will give you a detailed answer. "

After hearing my explanation, James had a sudden look on his face, and then he translated what I just said to Roosevelt and some of them.

I met several people who were ready to listen, and recalled in my mind what they had seen about Auschwitz concentration camp in their film and television works or literature. Then I began to tell them all I knew like a story: "after the" death train "transporting Jews arrived at Auschwitz station, The people on the train will be driven out of the carriage by the party guards, who are not allowed to carry any property. They will be forced to line up in two lines on the platform, with the party guards carrying live ammunition and wolf dogs.

Waiting on the platform, there are also many military doctors in the concentration camp. Their responsibility is to carry out simple screening and make decisions to send these people directly to the gas room to be killed, or to become short-term forced labor.

Those who are ruled unable to work will be sent directly to Birkenau. Of course, these executioners will not let the victims know the truth before killing them. They will tell these people who will be sent to the gas room on the radio that they should take a bath in the bathroom prepared for them under the guidance of the guard of the concentration camp, so as to get rid of the lice and recover the fatigue of the journey at the same time. "

"Just a moment, Rita, please." When Eleanor heard this, she couldn't help interrupting me. Ignoring Roosevelt's surprised eyes, she asked directly, "what I want to make clear now is: don't any Jews have doubts about all this, for example, don't they care about their luggage left on the train?"

I was stunned by Eleanor's words. It seems that I haven't seen such a plot in the movie, but in order to make me believe that what I said is true, I can only explain it to her according to my own imagination: "some Jews are still worried about the mountain of luggage piled up on the platform, and they will think about the Ss who looks like an officer next to them. But the Ss will tell them that the luggage will be sorted out by a cleaning team later and sent to their new residence. Hearing this reply, the Jews gave up their worries and followed the guards to the last "gas bath."

When I said this, I stopped to see if they had any other questions. Seeing that all the people were listening attentively to my story, I went on to say, "people follow the guards to the gas chamber. On the way, they can still see a road sign with the words" disinfection and sterilization "written on it, and the appearance of the gas chamber looks like, It's like a thatched cottage where farmers live, in an apple orchard. There are thousands of houses like this in rural Poland, so their vigilance has been lowered again.

There is a neat arrow shaped wooden sign on the door of the wooden house, which says "disinfection and sterilization enter from here.". Not far away are some small wooden houses for taking off clothes. On the walls are marked with a number of Tesco, and below are benches arranged along the wall, which are used for hanging and folding clothes for Jews. Guards also pretend to be friendly to remind people to remember the number of their clothes hook, so as not to find their own things when they come out.

In order to prevent the victims from suspecting, slogans were written on the walls in various languages, such as welcome to work in Auschwitz concentration camp, and even the bath time and precautions. In this case, no one will think that they are dying, and they even fantasize about how to live better in the new environment.

But when all the people enter the bathroom, the heavy iron door will be closed by guards, and locked and sealed outside. After all the lights in the bathroom went out, rows of sprinklers on the roof began to spray poison gas. When the Jews in the bathroom realized that bad luck was coming, it was too late. In this way, one by one, they died helplessly and tragically... "

Although I'm just talking about events in history, I can't help but raise my voice because of my emotion.

"O'shanina, please control your mood." James reminded me in a low voice after he translated my words to them“ Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the president the whole story. "

Perhaps I understood that James was communicating with me. Harold, who didn't speak much, asked, "general oshanina, please allow me to ask you a question: who will clean up these bodies in the gas chamber? From my understanding of the Germans, they don't care to do such a thing; If they are prisoners in the concentration camp, don't they worry about information leakage and causing riots in the camp? "

"You are right, Mr. Harold. The Germans don't care for such dirty work." I tried to smile at the Secretary of state and said, "they use a special team of strong laborers selected from the concentration camp who wait for the door of the gas room to open again and then push carts into the room. First use the tap to flush the blood and feces on the floor, then carry the messy corpses to the trolley, and then transport them to the incinerator. Of course, before that, they dug a big pit nearby and threw all the bodies into it for burial. Later, because the whole groundwater in the area was polluted, they changed to burning. The bones that were not burned after cremation were finely ground by a grinder and then transported by truck to the river for throwing.

Only the leakage you are worried about, Mr. Harold, does not exist at all. Because every once in a while, the workers of these special units will be sent to the gas room by the Germans and replaced by a group of new people. From the concentration camp, the Germans looked for the weak people, the people who were easy to panic and the people who were easy to be scared by the cruel environment of Auschwitz. They gathered them together and told them what they would do in the future in straightforward terms. If you are willing to cooperate, you will live; Otherwise, they will be shot on the spot. Although many people were shot because they refused to agree to the arrangement of the German people, there are still many such people needed by the German people. "

"General oshanina, I want to ask another question." After James translated my words, Roosevelt asked slowly, "is all this true?"

"Yes, Mr. President." After I finished this sentence, in order to prevent him from questioning the source of my information, I threw out my prepared reason: "part of the information came from the captured concentration camp guards, and part came from the defected officers and soldiers. I gathered all the information and added my own analysis to get the truth of the whole incident. Please believe that everything I said is real. "

After listening to what I said, Roosevelt asked noncommittally, "general oshanina, how many prisoners of war and civilians do you think were brutally killed by the German army in the concentration camp? 100000, 200000 or 500000, 600000? "

Eleanor listened to Roosevelt's question and said, "my God!"

I shook my head, bit my back teeth and said, "Mr. President, this is Hitler's organized and premeditated genocide. He wants to wipe all the Jews off the earth, so the massacres will never be just a few hundred thousand." When I saw the incredible shock on Eleanor's face, I took a deep breath and decisively said more shocking data. "I conservatively estimated that the death toll of the German massacre in the concentration camp was at least 3 million."

"Three million?" My words, all the people in the room are Zhenzhu. After a while, Harold was surprised and asked, "general oshanina, are you sure you didn't say the wrong number?"

"Yes, Mr. Secretary of state." I answered Harold in a positive tone: "I said that my data is only a conservative estimate. Maybe more people will die in the concentration camp."

"No, it's not possible at all." Hearing my answer, Harold put his head on a rattle and said, "general o'shanina, you must have made a mistake. No matter how cruel the Germans are, they will never be able to do such inhuman things. You know, three million people, what a terrible existence it is. "

While I was thinking about how to dispel Harold's suspicions, Roosevelt in his wheelchair said again, "Dear Harold, I think what general o'shanina said is true."

Harold did not expect that Roosevelt would suddenly be so surprised: "Mr. President, you..."

Before he finished, Roosevelt raised his hand to interrupt him and said to himself, "I received a secret letter from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill last week, which specifically mentioned that in February this year, the British intelligence service received a telegram from Dutch intelligence officers, which reported in detail the intelligence of the collective massacre of Jews. In this regard, Churchill was shocked by this terrible massacre, but at the same time, he felt incredible

"Dear Franklin," Eleanor said softly to Roosevelt after he had said this, "we have heard all kinds of rumors about the massacre of Jews, but because there is no evidence, we can't publicly expose the evil of the massacre. I would like to propose that oshanina go to Congress and repeat what she just said to all members of Parliament, so that they can understand that crimes that bring shame to mankind have taken place in the land ruled by the Communist Party. "

When I heard Eleanor's proposal to Roosevelt, I couldn't help but see that this is a golden opportunity. As long as I go, I will soon become famous in the United States.

Just when I decided that I would agree to Roosevelt's question of whether I would like to speak in Congress, I saw Roosevelt shaking his head and whispering to Eleanor, "no, this is not."

"Why?" Roosevelt's reaction not only surprised me, but even surprised Eleanor. She asked curiously, "Franklin, why is that?"

"Although we are now allies with the Soviet Union, there are still many forces hostile to the Soviet Union in the parliament." Roosevelt patiently explained to Eleanor: "if we rashly let o'shanina go to Congress, even if we all know that what she said is true, those forces will still think that the fact that o'shanina said is a malicious frame up against Germany. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I still don't suggest that oshanina go to Congress to give a speech. "

When I heard Roosevelt say this, I could not help feeling a little disappointed, though I understood his inner troubles. In order to prevent being found out that I understood their conversation, I had to try to act as if nothing had happened. I turned to James and asked him, "Mr. James, does Prime Minister Churchill always use letters when he contacts the president?"

"Not necessarily." James could not help laughing when he heard my naive question, and then said, "it depends on the specific situation. Some things can be said on the special line, and some can be sent by telegram. Only those things that are particularly important and cannot be explained clearly by telephone or telegram will be sent by special personnel. " After a brief conversation with Roosevelt, Eleanor looked at me again and said with some apology, "I'm sorry, Rita. I have a few words to say with the president. I'm ignoring you. I hope you don't mind." As Roosevelt and I are not far away, Eleanor must know that she has just had a conversation with Roosevelt. I should have heard a lot. Even if I can't understand English, my name once appeared in their conversation. In order to avoid any bad ideas, she specially found a reason to explain to me: "I just discussed with the president, Would you like to visit some hospitals in Washington tomorrow? " Hearing what Eleanor said, I quickly got up from my seat, bowed slightly to her, and said gratefully, "madam, thank you for your trust in me. It's my honor to accompany me to the inspection. I'm very happy to listen to your arrangement."“ Rita, I'm so glad you promised to go out with this old lady of mine. " "Said Eleanor, rising to my side and embracing me with open arms. When she let me go, she said with a smile, "it's getting late. I'll let Mr. Harold take you back to the embassy."
