Holo Tidbit from 1/12/85

According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, Arnold Friedman swore under oath that he had seen "fourteen foot flames" shooting out of the chimneys of crematorium at Auschwitz, and that he was able to tell whether the Nazis were burning fat Jewish Hungarians or skinny Jewish Poles by looking at the different colors of the smoke and flames coming out of the crematorium. On cross-examination, however, Mr. Friedman reversed himself upon being presented with details of crematorium operation, and was forced to agree that perhaps Jews were not being burned in crematoria buildings. Mr. Friedman then made the startling confession that his entire testimony was based on what he had been told by others.
