It is anti-Semitic propaganda.
Like most propaganda, it is based upon facts, that woman, unfortunately did live,committed those crimes, and was executed.
Other details were made up to make it look like the victims were lying, and the statement that she later became a German national hero is ludicrous
It is Holocaust denial of the worst sort.
TartanGal's reaction is the correct one to those events, one should be very moved by those images.
Her empathy for the victims would not allow her to be fooled by this crude fake.
I can only hope their souls are at rest considering the horrible way in which they spent their last days.
It would be tragic if they were not released from that awful place.
Let us hope that if they are still among us, they inhabit places where their lives were happy, before these terrible events took place.
I was immediately suspicious of this story when I saw language such as "lying Jewesses", so I backtracked to the home page.
I won't link it, and I would suggest you do not go there, it is pure filth.
I belong to many message boards, tropical fish, hockey, and a myriad of others, and a common tactic among fringe groups is to post links on boards where people have a specific interest, such as this one.
The goal is to increase the hits on that website.
It is done for two reasons, there is the chance that someone may like what they read, and join whatever movement they represent.
Second, the more hits a website receives, the higher it ranks in search engines, meaning more traffic to that site, and possibly more converts.
I am not accusing the person who posted this of doing it deliberately, perhaps he reached it through a search, and thought it was of interest, so he decided to share.
I have been lurking here a while, and I have far too much respect for the quality of people who make up this community, who overwhelmingly are caring, generous kind and open minded people, to just accuse someone of doing something wrong without any facts of my own to determine their motive.
But it is strange he chose to replace the code in the link with a verbal hyperlink tag.

Thank you for your time.
