View Full Version : A chilling connection...........

This came over another list but I thought it worth sharing. God help us not to allow this to ever happen again.


"January 29, 1943. At the height of World War II, Nazi Germany is nearing
completion of the second krematoriom at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. SS
Captain Karl Bischoff writes a letter to his senior, Sr. Colonel Hans Kammler
detailing the progress of the krematoriom’s construction.

Translation of letter:

“Except for some minor construction work, Krematorium II was finished by
working with all our available forces day and night, despite inexpressible
difficulties and freezing weather. The ovens were fired in the presence of
the senior engineer Prüfer of the executing firm, Topf and Sons, Erfurt, and
they are working faultlessly. The reinforced concrete ceiling of the morgue
could not yet be eliminated due to the freezing weather. However, this is not
significant, as the gassing cellar can be used for this purpose. “

The gas ovens will eventually be used to dispose of thousands of bodies of
state prisoners; the “unfit” of Germany society regarded as “mongrels” of
impure blood. In the same month a bulletin is issued to local registrars,
physicians, health officers, nurses, school officials and clerk of
“mongrels” posing as Aryans. The bulletin warns:

“Some of these mongrels, finding that they have been able to sneak in their
birth certificates unchallenged …are now making a rush to register as white.
Upon investigation we find that a few local registrars have been permitting
such certificates to pass through their hands unquestioned and without
warning our office of the fraud. Those attempting this fraud should be
warned that they are liable to a penalty of one year in the penitentiary
(Section 5099 of the Code). Several clerks have likewise been actually
granting them licenses to marry whites, or at least to marry amongst
themselves as… white.”

Both letters, one describing work on the krematoriom and the second urging
government officials to be on the watch for non-Aryans, are part of a grand
scheme to protect the “white race” from alleged contamination by lesser
“breeds.” But it may surprise you that the second letter, the bulletin
alert, was not issued in Germany. It was issued in Virginia, USA by Walter A
Plecker, Chief Registrar of Virginia’s Vital Statistics. Those troublesome
people causing him consternation were called Melungeons. This is how he
identified the names he placed on the blacklist.

“Collins, Gibson, (Gipson), Moore, Goins, Ramsey, Delph, Bunch, Freeman,
Mise, Barlow, Bolden (Bolin), Mullins, Hawkins. Chiefly Tennessee
"Melungeons."

The Melungeons are people of mixed European, African and Native American
ancestry who can document their presence in North America back to the early
17th century within a decade of the founding of old Jamestown, Virginia.
Evidence shows a chilling connection between the state of Virginia’s campaign
against the Melungeons and Nazi Germany’s round up of non-Aryans."

Great piece! Whoever noticed that Plecker and the SS were dancing the same tune, the same month and then pieced it together in this way gets an A+. Makes a powerful point.

I'm posting this reply only for one reason, the information regarding Dr. Walter Ashby Plecker's "Hit List", has not been completely copied, as many, many families, including mine have been left out. This post was by Linda Dillon. You make this out to be just a melungeon issue, which it was not, most families on this list are not Melungeon! I'm sure your intentions were good, but we don't need another list that leaves out families. As the Monacan's, or should I say Diane Shields sent me a changed list, that had left out some families. This to me is very disrespectful. Yes there is a brief statement regarding the melungeons, by Plecker. You are right about the Nazi's & the Movement in America, as Hitler got his idea of sterilization from the USA, as this was a tool of the Eugenics Movement. I have stacks of copies of original papers, letters to & from Plecker. I have worked long & hard to bring this issue to light in my state, so I may sound harsh, but I'm only standing up for those that are no longer here. As their story is told through descendant's like me. I only want the truth to be told, it is an injustice to leave out one family that was a victim of this terrible nightmare called Eugenics. For all of you here's a little something, Plecker had a bad habit of never looking as he crossed the street. Well one day his luck ran out. http://winwinworld.net/SaponiForum/UBB/smile.gif

Just so no one misunderstands . . . Brenda copied this from another list and did not write the article, so it would not be her who omitted any names and slanted anything to represent only melungeons.

Hello Linda,
I didn't mean to give that impression, just as I didn't want anyone to think this was the complete list. I'm glad that someone has taken the time to enlighten others. We Patterson's must stick together http://winwinworld.net/SaponiForum/UBB/wink.gif
