Fake Holocaust Survivors: Henry Bawnik

Continuing on with series looking at the stories of so-called ‘Holocaust Survivors’ we have the case of Henry Bawnik. Who passed away recently in Buffalo, New York and the Buffalo News helpfully told the story of his ‘Holocaust Experiences’ by way of a memorial to him.

To wit:

‘Mr. Bawnik spent four years in concentration camps during World War II, including Auschwitz, where he experienced starvation, beatings and the deaths of countless people close to him. During the final days of World War II, he lived through the bombing of three ships carrying concentration camp survivors.

[…]

In Poland, the Bawnik family operated a bakery. Mr. Bawnik was 13 when his homeland was invaded by German military forces. At 15, he was taken from the slums of Lodz and herded with thousands of Polish Jews to live in concentration camps.

The following years were defined by hunger, beatings — and the sights and sounds that created a lifetime of memories.

[…]

"I knew I was going to die, but you fought to live," Mr. Bawnik told The Buffalo News in 2015. "You work as hard as you can, so that they let you live, and then you hope they lose the war."

Mr. Bawnik's hopes were realized, but the harrowing years of internment did not end peacefully.

One night in May 1945 during a prolonged "death march" to avoid advancing liberators, Bawnik was jolted from sleep with orders to march another 13 miles to board a boat he believed was headed to Denmark. Instead, he and 5,000 other prisoners set sail on a former German luxury liner named Cap Arcona, the largest of three ships that departed from the Bay of Lubeck. Mr. Bawnik was one of 350 survivors from the ship after it was bombed by Allied forces who believed high-ranking Nazi officers were on board.’ (1)

Now the problem here isn’t Bawnik’s story per se – after all he says nothing that is impossible or particularly unlikely if probably exaggerated. The problem is that he was – by his own admission – in four concentration camps from 1941 to 1945 – including one ‘death camp’ (i.e., Auschwitz) – and then survived the sinking of the German hospital ship the Cap Arcona.

This is extremely improbable if indeed he was shipped into a concentration camp in 1941 and therefore survived four years in a system that – if what ‘Holocaust Survivors’ say is true – should have killed him by 1942 or at latest 1943. After all he was shipped to a camp with alleged gas chambers and after at least a year of ‘slave labour’ and little in the way of rations. He should have been gassed as a ‘useless eater’, but yet he wasn’t.

How strange if the orthodox ‘Holocaust’ narrative was true!
