For goodness' sake - are the Zionist PR folk so desperate that they stoop to this just because a bishop doubts? Is this a ploy to take our 'guilty minds' off Gaza?
Whatever will they say next?

Pathetic.:lightsabre:

Prove it PR folk - scientifically prove it!

I am so fed up with this constant preying on world guilt - there were terrible atrocities everywhere in WWII. Let's not forget those.

Apols if anyone offended but enough is enough. Our MSM is totally biased. I have complained!

I don't know what you are getting at here but the idea of ANY human hair being used to make textiles is highly creepy.

It is creepy, it was over 60 years ago, and apparently hasn't been used since. To crucify the company today for something that was done by totally unenlightened owners (and who knows what they were told, or what they were encouraged to do or what they were just sent out of the blue) is probably not the best bet.

Here's part of the article, some sick people there alright, I hope she goes broke and fades away!

Former workers at the factory in Kiertz who were interviewed on the programme said that they remembered two wagon-loads of human hair being delivered to the company in 1943. Kiertz is three hours' drive away from the Auschwitz camp.

Hair was routinely shorn from prisoners, usually on arrival, at the death camps. The Nazi war machine used it to make army blankets and socks for U-boat crews. The Auschwitz museum on the site of the former death camp displays a store filled to the roof with inmates' hair originally intended for so-called "human recycling".

The Kiertz textile factory where the hair is alleged to have been processed formerly belonged to the Jewish-owned Davistan AG concern on which the Schaeffler empire was founded after it was taken over by the brothers Wilhelm and Georg Schaeffler. Their company made armaments for the Nazi war machine, but after the Second World War it re-emerged as one of Germany's main suppliers of parts to the car industry, specialising in needle roller bearings.

However, the devastating impact of the credit crunch coupled with Schaeffler's misjudged hostile takeover of the tyre giant Continental have since plunged the concern into its worst crisis since the war.

Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler, an Austrian born former medical student, married into the concern and became its sole owner in 1996 after her husband, Georg, died. Last month she took the unprecedented step of joining a demonstration staged by 800 of her company's employees to appeal for government help. Previously, the company's management style had been called "feudal".

Mrs Merkel's government, which is currently being asked to provide state aid for Germany's ailing Opel car company, has still to decide whether it will help Schaeffler with a bailout.
