Hip New Holo-Porn Tats

When Eli Sagir showed her grandfather, Yosef Diamant, the new tattoo on her left forearm, he bent his head to kiss it.

Mr. Diamant had the same tattoo, the number 157622, permanently inked on his own arm by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Nearly 70 years later, Ms. Sagir got hers at a hip tattoo parlor downtown after a high school trip to Poland. The next week, her mother and brother also had the six digits inscribed onto their forearms. This month, her uncle followed suit.

"All my generation knows nothing about the Holocaust," said Ms. Sagir, 21, who has had the tattoo for four years. "You talk with people and they think it's like the Exodus from Egypt, ancient history. I decided to do it to remind my generation: I want to tell them my grandfather's story and the Holocaust story."

Mr. Diamant's descendants are among a handful of children and grandchildren of Auschwitz survivors here who have taken the step of memorializing the darkest days of history on their own bodies. With the number of survivors here dropping to about 200,000 from 400,000 a decade ago, institutions and individuals are grappling with how best to remember the Holocaust — so integral to Israel's founding and identity — after those who lived it are gone.

More holo-hoax filth.

There is not the slightest proof that the Nazis tattooed any Jew, any place, at any time. Instead, a few Jews tattooed themselves after the war. (More on that below.) Among the few Jews that have them, the location is not standardized. Sometimes the tattoos appear on the inside of the arm, sometimes the outside. Sometimes near the elbow, sometimes near the wrist. Sometimes upside down, or right-side up. Sometimes they have the European style number seven (with a slash through it, used for handwriting). Sometimes it’s an American-style number seven. Sometimes the tattoos include a triangle. Sometimes not. Since any tattoo can be covered by another tattoo, the style and location would have to be absolutely standardized if the tattoo were to serve for the possible identification of escaped inmates. That way, any person with a tattoo in that location would be suspect. (One “survivor” claims he escaped by transforming his number tattoo into a picture of a snake, thereby fooling the Germans!)

Of course, the main question is why the Nazis would bother to tattoo people for mass-extermination.

The tattoos symbolize the supposed brutality of the labor facilities and the attempt of the Nazis to dehumanize their victims. Yet there exist no official period documents relating to the practice. Nor has anyone ever seen a photo or even a drawing of a Nazi tattooing machines that were supposedly used to tattoo six million Jews that were supposedly “exterminated.” There is nothing except the claims of a few holo-hoax “survivors.” The Auschwitz archives survived the war intact, yet there are no paper records that accord with any of the tattooed numbers. And isn’t it remarkable that the tattoos have not faded, even though the war ended 67 years ago?

There is no doubt that if the Germans had wished to tattoo six million Jews they could have done so. (Waffen-SS members were tattooed with their blood type). But it would require proper procedures and proper equipment, voluminous documentation, and proper record-keeping. The Nazis were fanatics about keeping records of everything.

For Jews, the tattoos are badges of honor and prestige. And now, according to the  New York Times, a whole new crop of young Jewish holo-hoax “survivors” are tattooing themselves with holo-hoax numbers, so they too can have prestige. The young Jews say it is like an “inheritance.”

It is logical to presume that all Jews who have tattoos did it to themselves after the war so they could have the prestige of being holo-hoax “survivors.” Some of the older people have tattooed triangles next to their tattooed numbers, since inmates at labor facilities wore color-coded triangular badges on their uniforms. It’s all part of the mystique. 

The NY Times article claims that tattooing is prohibited by Jewish law. This is nonsense. Jews love having tattoos, especially the six-pointed “Star of David.” The Times article also claims that only Jews at Auschwitz and the adjacent Birkenau facilities were tattooed. Why would the Germans only tattoo those Jews? And why would the Germans only tattoo Jewish inmates?  The article admits that no one knows how many Jews were allegedly tattooed.  It says that only Jews deemed fit for work were tattooed. Why then do Jews claim that they were all gassed upon arrival?

Endless bullshit.
