A lampshade allegedly made from the skins of Jews who died in the Holocaust may be sold at a British auction. The lamp forms part of a controversial collection of artifacts collected by Robert Lenkiewicz, a late portrait artist. Jewish leaders fear the lamp may now be sold to the highest bidder to help pay off debts owed by the estate of the artist, who died in 2002. Jewish groups say the lamp, if it is from the Holocaust, should be buried with dignity. Many historians believe the notion that lampshades were made out of Jews during the Holocaust is a myth.

if it is from the Holocaust

Many historians believe the notion that lampshades were made out of Jews during the Holocaust is a myth.

I am saying nothing, but 6millions Jews died in the Second World War. So they tell me.

Please see the Journal of Historical Review article Buchenwald: Legend and Reality (http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v07/v07p405_Weber.html)

also the IHR hompage Institute for Historical Review (http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v07/v07p405_Weber.html)

Jewish World Population figures :
1939 - 15.6 Million
1945 - 15.1 Million
1946 - 15.7 Million
1947 - 15.6 Million
1948 - 15.5 Million
1949 - 15.5 Million

There are no dramatic ups or downs during the time of the 'holohoax', nor in the 4 years after. Why have the supposed 6 million Jews not been mentioned.

1950 - 11.5 Million

Now, in what year did Nahum Goldman (President of jewish world congress) and Konrad Adenauer (German Bundeskanzler) discuss the German 'reparations' to Israel? Thats right, 1950.

Jew raw material was never used for the manufacture of lampshades. If not proven otherwise, this is a case of reverse revisionism

My dad always told me jews were good for one thing: making lampshades out of them :)
Unfortunately he didn't elaborate further on exactly why jews were such horrible pieces of shit, but it didn't take me long to find the answer to that one out. He also told me that if they had tattoos their skin was even more prized...guess he heard the same myths about said lampshades. Anyway, here's an article I found about a jewskin lampshade being auctioned:

Lampshade a WWII mystery

LOVINGSTON

Amid the silver and the crocks and the freezer and the pocketknives advertised for auction in the tiny newspaper type was this unusual item: “1930’s C. Iron/Floor Lamps (One with WWII human skin shade).”

The brown, textured lampshade has been the talk of this small hamlet in Nelson County, and most people seem to think it genuine - a true reminder of the Nazi horrors of the second world war. “I tell you, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen,” said one believer, Shirley Allen.

Tales of such ghastly shades have circulated for decades. They stemmed, in part, from considerable newspaper coverage after WWII about human lampshades made at Buchenwald concentration camp.

But Diane Saltzman, director of the collections division of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., is highly skeptical that the shade is human skin. Despite the reports, not one has been found.

“None of the lampshades that have surfaced over the past 50 years have ever turned out to be real,” Saltzman said. “There is no proof that this practice has ever occurred.”

The lampshade that was up for auction belongs to Donald Avery, a 77-year-old retired antiques collector who sports a gold earring in his left ear. Doris Jones, of Albemarle Auction & Antiques, said the item was one of “thousands” of Avery’s belongings to be sold at four auctions, the last of which was held Saturday.

Among the items were Avery’s dilapidated house, built in the mid-1800s, and 75 or 80 paintings, including a Joseph Wolin oil painting that Jones said was valued between $10,000 and $13,000. She said she had hoped the lampshade would fetch $1,500.

“He was a very eclectic collector. He likes unusual things,” said Jones, who’s been in the auction business for 40 years. “He’s very into snakes. He had snake rings, snake candlesticks.”

“I think it’s real just because of what it looks like. It really looks like skin,” she said. “He collected a lot of World War II things.”

Avery, however, said he never meant for the lampshade to be auctioned. He said it was collected by accident, with other items, as he consolidated his belongings into a smaller home.

“I never wanted to sell it,” Avery said loudly, growing agitated, “because it came from my dear Mary.”

While the origin of the lampshade is a mystery, so is how Avery obtained it. He has trouble with his memory these days, struggling at one point to remember his phone number. But the way he recalls it, the lamp was a gift from a sweetheart many years ago.

“She was a bar maid. And her husband had died. He had told her about the lamp,” Avery said. “I knew the top of it was something special. There’s a peacock on top of it. She said, no, there’s a lot more to it than that. She said the shade was from human hide that came from the Germans.”

“I said, ‘What the hell do you want that thing for?’” he said. “I think it’s a horrible thing, but I think it’s wrong to destroy it. I

think it’s honorable to preserve it.”

Jones said that’s not the story she knows. She said Avery told her he bought the shade in the 1970s at auction in Albany, N.Y. “The lamp stand was a gift from his friend Mary, but not the lampshade.”

As it turned out, the shade never made it to the auction block. Mac Bridgwater, an investigator with the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, said his department received several calls about the ad, which ran in the Nelson County Times and The Daily Progress.

“Once we read the ad, it was like ‘uh oh,’” Bridgwater said. “It’s illegal to sell human body parts.”

Bridgwater said the auctioneers were presented with the law and advised to check with their attorneys before they sold it. And so the stand was auctioned, but the shade was not.

Now there are plans to turn the shade over to the Holocaust Museum. Saltzman said the museum does not collect human remains, but would arrange to have the shade tested. And on the off chance that it is human skin, the museum would locate a proper home.

“From time to time, maybe twice a year, we hear stories like this about artifacts, not necessarily lampshades, but items that people claim are from victims of the Holocaust,” Saltzman said. “Out of sensitivity to the victims we would never display items like this. We don’t think they have educational value.”

Despite questioning the shade’s authenticity, Saltzman noted that atrocities of its kind did occur. At the American Military Tribunals at Dachau, a shrunken head and three pieces of tattooed skin were exhibited as evidence of the crimes committed by staff at Buchenwald.

Beyond that, there is the simple fact that the Nazis killed 6 million innocent Jews.

“The first thing that pops into your mind is concentration camps,” Bridgwater said. “Considering the way things were then, it’s not that shocking that it would be in existence.”

A shrunken head???? Of a jew - or a goat? Where is this shrunken head now, I wonder?
And 'pieces of tattoed skin' - what a farce that must have been.

I'm surprised they didn't claim the Nazis had eaten all the jews.

I have always thought we should consider fraudulent artifacts as a source of covert financing. Jewskin lampshades is just one idear. You could also try "Indian Scrotum coin purses" and such like. "RJF" soap. LOL

I read a story in a whining Jew-navel-gazing-genre-book about a footstool made out of the pelvic girdle of a jew. OY VEY! Only a disgusting Jew or savage non-Westerner could even IMAGINE such a disgusting usage. What a fraud these Jews and their imaginings are.

With all of todays DNA technology, why don't they attempt to PROOVE that the lampshade is made of Jewhide? Its probably just pigskin.
DNA technology can prove if it is human skin, and from what racial group as well, be it negroid, caucasian, asian, and so forth. In fact, DNA technology can even go so far as to narrow the source of the skin (if it's human) right down to identifying any semitic gene markers that may be present.

PS: Yesterday you called me an "arsehole" just out of maliciouness, BrightonWNP. Fine, fuckhead. In the meantime, before you sling your next piece of shit my way, why don't you learn to spell and punctuate properly. Really, can't you write a single fucking sentence without making three spelling/punctuation errors?

Here, I'll correct them for you:

todays should be today's

PROOVE should be prove

I wouldn't doubt that Mr. Salzman would like to take credit for the shade as belonging to 1 of his own. Fact of the matter: Jew hair, Jew bones (fertilizer), Jew gold fillings etc... were used for whatever purpose served. Auschwitz-Birkenau was a camp for Jews. Birkenwald was originally set up for political prisoners and common criminals. So few shades were made. It's unlikely, there4, that Jews were used for this purpose

Just a thought.

I have just bought a new lamp fitting.

Is jew skin any good ? Do they sell it at Walmart/ASDA ?

I can't see it being much use really. Jews have darker skins than we Europeans. That is not much use for light fittings.

Sure the Hell iz. It's a shrunken head of a prisoner lodging at Kamp Bergen-Belsen. I doubt this was a Jew. The Kamp was known for doing political prisoners and probably Russian prisoners of war

We are in danger here of triviliasing a vital subject. Lampshades/soap etc are the stuff of ZOG fairy tales. We should not see them as fun objects but as weapons and lies used to to beat us down. That picture of the Buchenwald camp guard looks like Irma Grese - a real Aryan heroine and one unjustly murdered by the allies. She was only a young SS Auxialiary and she was basically crucified by the vengeance of the 'Allied' lynch mob. For the full story here is the link:-

All those artefacts like lampshades, bars of soap, gas chambers, gas ovens, shrunken heads and other pieces of the holyhoax can put to use for the good of mankind by examining them. They will turn out to be as fake as tears of Maria statues.

Except that in most countries of the world it's not illegal to doubt the veracity of a statue crying blood. But saying that a bar of soap is a bar of soap and not a rectangular compressed jew will land you in jail in most European countries and in the USA if Michael Chertoff gets his way.

I served with the British Army at Bergen -Belsen camp for over 2 years.

I was naive in those days, and looking FOR the gas chambers. There were none to be found, even on the 'camp models' in the Reception area.

That pic was a propaganda device I am quite sure, it had no connection with Belsen camp. I would tend to look either in the wild island Islands , for example Papua/New Guinea, North of Australia, or the Amazon rainforests, for head shrinking.
