request to the national archives for all information relating to joseph mangling, the doctor of auschwitz. one of the documents the center received was a report by a counter intelligence corps operatives who reported that mandela had been arrested and released in vienna in 1946. this led a tremendous shock because no one ever heard the americans have arrested mangling and released him. this was absolutely shocking than the center presented the material to the american authorities and the attorney general at the time made a decision that the united states of america will look for dr. joseph mangling and they will check if the ever enter the united states and a historical investigation will be determined that mengele was arrested was true. that third investigation was actually given to the o isi and at the research of israel i was part of that investigation and one of the key elements was to try and find a true survivor of auschwitz by the name of david five men. apparently he worked in the laboratory and survived the war and he was the source of the information that benjamin had given to h

. >> today is holocaust memorial day. 65 years after the liberation of the auschwitz death camp. the evil of the holocaust is unique, its lessons must be applied to the racism and anti-semitism of today. so that a better society can be enjoyed by everyone. >> i support what my hon. friend has said. we regard the question of holocaust memorial day which is a very important day. there will be a debate in the house, a book of remembrance can be signed and the education work, the education trust which is very important but we must also bear in mind the lessons that come out on prejudice and discrimination and anti-semitism and we must fight that wherever it rears its head in this country. >> we reveal the company in my constituency has been selling arms detectors to the iraqi government. if the government knew about this why did it wait until the bbc report last friday? if it didn't why would government agencies so curiously incurious about $85 million worth of security equipment to be sent from the united kingdom to a war zone? >> i will ask the secretary of state of business to con

widespread commercial coalition with the third reich to identify the juice and create the basis of the auschwitz stock to. i would never believe the rockefeller foundation would have financed a program that sent to joseph mangling into boschwitz. i believe these now because of the trial by fire i had when they did the transfer agreement. >> host: a second question a revisionist zionist was controlled by the jewish agency would there have been a transfer of premature german reparations to the state of israel and what might have been the political outcomes in the early history? >> i am often asked him constantly asked the what if question on the transfer agreement. what of the boycott succeeded or had never been there? here's what i think i can answer. it is very dangerous. believes if the revisionists have control the transfer agreements at the time then i doubt very strongly there would have been a transfer agreement with the not these. what is important to explain is the delicate of the revisionist movement. they had good relations with the fascist italian regime because they believe in a very

they could have said christians are being massacred as well as many catholic poles were killed in auschwitz as a word jews. this information did not make it through and certainly never affected what the cartoonists were doing. you have a picture of the war to push little representative in any case and p m was not just representative in this respect of the american left but it was representative of the company as a whole when it came to japan and so on. the real battle as far as p.m. was concerned worthy domestic battles. for and against the isolationists and republican opposition on policies of the war in which it included a price control and all sorts of things that look relatively esoteric but was important in terms of the power of the newly hired working class because suddenly both black and white americans were able to get jobs at a decent salary which could easily have been eaten away by inflation. the cartoonist's understood that early on. the bosses understood as well and wanted to oppose price control completely but keep wage controls. there was a real class war going on between the

as many polls, catholic poles were killed in auschwitz as were jews, this kind of information just simply did not make it through. and certainly never affected any of what the cartoons are doing. so you have a picture of the war, which is mixed to say the least, but representative in any case. i think pm was certainly not just represented in this respect of the american left, but it was representative of the country as a whole when it came to japan and so on. but the real battles as far as pm were concerned for the domestic battles, first for intervention and then against the isolationists, and then against republican opposition to any of roosevelt's domestic policies about the war. which included price controls and all sorts of things like that, that looked relatively esoteric, but which of course were very important in terms of the power of the newly hired working class. because suddenly, both black and white americans were able to get jobs at a decent salary, which could easily have been eaten away by inflation. and the pm cartoonists understood that are gone and the bosses understood
