i assembled a team of 20 or 30 historians and holocaust survivors and children of holocaust survivors. there was no second-generation movement. we went into five or six countries it was under people's desks and was protected and went to the veal beckham institute and found the information and assemble it and produced a book. >> host: the process to put it together but the palaver way in which the the was structured at the time it pre-internet access to that information must have been quite extraordinary maybe you can shed for the listeners skyhook -- the listeners the research putting it together. >> guest: there was no computers or internet. the manuscript was typed and every time i changed the footnote they had to retype the entire manuscript. they had to do that 30 times. even using the best i am equipment back then. [laughter] i did this in the late '70s and early '80s. we had to assemble everything by hand and we had to do it by carbon paper and photocopy. there were very few xerox places since israel it was hard to make a copy. we had all of these meetings and most people did no

and use this information falsely to claim the holocaust did not exist. but the same people would use the bible or autobiographies or biographies or anything that they had. they are frustrated by the fact that i brought out the truth which is the jews, the zionist rescue the jews. there were transfer agreements and other countries. the potentiality of rescuing millions of jews. millions could have been rescued but ask yourself whether not if the nazis would have been stopped by people running up and down the street with placards. of whether it took something more. the zionist were the only realistic of the time and by the way there was no country. there was no major corporation there was no major organization that did not have firebrand relations move to commercial and diplomatic with the nazis at that time. >> host: your website listed the different books you have talked about whether oil addiction or holocaust so this is not one that you usually talk about. >> guest: right. 300 events per year i talk about ibm, holocaust, oil addiction, the nazi nexus b

many of these people are living in countries in which the holocaust is a much discussed topic. of a strike, a candidate, eight u. k and other leading democracies of the world where the holocaust is openly discussed and in great detail and you might imagine someday reach the conclusion with they were involved in a way back then was this holocaust people are talking about and they really did something terrible. they might say we were brainwashed. we were brainwashed by anti-semitism m by our leaders and we foolishly follow them. now i am sorry. that has never ever happened. that is something horrific if you think about it. another reason in the body this is why it is so important to bring these people to justice. i want to turn to those events mentioned previously that were so important. the fact that nazi war criminals had entered the united states in such great numbers is not a shock. but it was because people deny realize how important a role the eastern europeans played in the final solution. every single country the nazis invaded or countries with nazi germany they found a w

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 contact him and respond to him in detail on that important issue. >> be aware that royal mail and communication work includes progress on modernization and industrial relations problem that has bedeviled the industry. can she now say when the government is going to sort out the deficit

saw comedy and irony in the grimmest of things from mega death to sexual relations after nuclear holocausthere was a wonderful portrait of herman kahn that appeared in the village voice. unlike the energy secretary i guess herman kahn -- herman kahn probably did appear both in popular mechanics and rolling stone but he was also in the village voice. and the village voice said herman kahn should stop wasting his time writing about thermonuclear war which follow his real talent, stand-up comedy. the voice said who could laugh as heartily as thermonuclear annihilation. kahn's multihour and multidaily briefings and this picture is a picture of kahn giving one of his famed briefings kept diverse audiences on their toes for hours if not days at a time with kahn's mix of brilliant insight, pop culture references anecdotes from ancient history and his wicked sense of humor. kahn, in fact, was once described perhaps not all together unfairly as the thermo nuclear rostel you may remember who played max in the wonderful original film version of the producers. that being said by a little bit of a -- l

did not say anything about holocaust until november of 1940 to when the rabbi made a famous speech in which he told the country this was happening. what is interesting is the yiddish language press in new york was reporting since 1940 on what was happening. even though bbc reported in may of 1942 that 700,000 polish jews had been gassed and sooner or reports in the yiddish language press before. it is difficult for me to imagine -- we don't have statistics on this but a lot of jews if not overwhelmingly jewish, that nobody had knowledge of somebody who had the other pictures. they did know or they didn't feel they could run the stories. in spite of the fact that p.m. on other aspects had an extremely good record. they were extremely critical of the french, they had a series of cartoons attacking them and so on. at a time when the american government was dealing with these people and had diplomatic relations and so on. roosevelt was still hoping to persuade the french to work on his behalf when they were totally under german control. when the americans were about to invade north africa

and we know that from -- just from the time since the holocaust when people when people when people thought about how to stop genocide so we shouldn't expect too much of them from our political leaders. so we need to fashion policies that are relatively low cost. and still effective. if any political leader -- and not just a leader of a dictatorship but his cabinet members, high level subordinates of all kinds, military leaders, police leaders -- if they begin an eliminationist assault, they should be declared, according to an international legal doctrine which has existed for a couple hundred years, they should be declared the enemies of humanity. this is a document which has been applied to pirates. which means they are that. the enemies of humanity and are subject to being killed. unless they turn themselves in. and what's more, there should be a bounty system established, a bounty program, similar to the program that the american government has called reward for justice, which is in place to reward people for the apprehension or killing of terrorists. we have a program in the united sta

killed during world war ii by the nazi regime during the holocaust, in the holocaust. from 1973 to the present, in the united states alone, we have murdered over 40 million children. just imagine that. if we scream in outrage at the inknow september children that were slammed and hung on the tree in the killing fields, yet after 40 million children killed in this country we still hold a policy that allows for the legal killing of innocent children. if that is not a skewed sense of ethics, i don't know what is. i agree that america needs responsive health care reform and i agree that we all have the -- ought to have the right to exercise freedom of individual liberties, but not at the expense of our children and the future of our families. the majority of the american people, including those in my home state of louisiana, stand firmly on the side of life. and they will not support any measure that seeks to fund abortion with their hard-earned income. again, as we arrive at the 37th anniversary of roe v. wade, i ask america to reflect deeply on the value of all life, bor

it is a real privilege to be able to be here at the holocaust memorial museum. both in bearing witness to atrocities and the history. and also motivating people in the present day to action. i was really pleased to have a chance, even briefly, to go through the exhibit. i look forward to having more time to go through it in greater depth. i also want to commend the authors and sponsors of the prevention of genocide task force. it was really a powerful and thoughtful and comprehensive treatment of a very important issue. i found it valuable, turning to these issues again. speaking about the united nations, in all honesty, is a great time to be the u.s. ambassador. the world has responded to the change in approach in the change in leadership, both in tone and substance, that president obama has presented. i have the privilege of working with that context to advance u.s > inter -- u.s. interest and values. from our point of view, it is a vital one that we held a very incrementally to create. -- helped very incrementally to create. it is sort of the pointy end of th

ibm, the holocaust. all of these books bestsellers were written in the 21st century. you have either sent somewhere around 69 different editions published in about 14 lead witches and 61 countries. the question that we are focusing on today was actually your first book called "the transfer agreement: the dramatic story of the pact between the third reich and jewish palestine." this book was published in 1984 so it's been 25 years ago. and at the time that it came out i remember there was a tremendous amount of media attention, and also it was a very controversial book. it was one there was a tremendous amount of discussion about it. so that's what brings us here today. let's go first to that issue. what was it about the publication of this book, the thesis that you're putting forth? what was it that garnered so much attention and so much controversy? >> the story of the "the transfer agreement" is the story of the pact between the zionists and the nazis that was launched in the first weeks of the third reich in 1933. it began in the spring of 1933 and was consummated

record of america with an administration beloved by jews raised only a feeble voice against the holocaust. that was then. now, of course, the twin cities are among the most enlightened communities of america, the place where they have had several jewish senators, several black officials, a flourishing of the community. it has transformed itself as america has been transformed. and i want to ask the question, what happened? how did that happen? we do not have time to get into many of the reasons but the most significant was the powerful tide of the civil rights revolution. it simply knocked down a closed society of my youth, knocking down the walls of the segregation and discrimination, opening the doors of equal opportunity to blacks and jews and all but -- and ultimately to women and to gaze and to people with disabilities. martin luther king jr. was not the first or only zero but he was profoundly a part of america. in my lifetime, no non-q with the possible exception of franklin delano roosevelt had the same clout that martin luther king jr. had with my community. martin luther king se

germans, there's no cartoons, except very, very few addressed to the state department about the holocaust or about the equal number of or greater number of known jewish civilians massacred by the germans in poland and in russia. and we were talking before whether there was, you know, whether it was the fact the jewish press did not want to make it look as if it was a jewish war and therefore the leadership certainly, the jewish committee like that were very careful in pressuring roosevelt on these issues. they could have said, you know, christians are being massacred as well. 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 d
