Right. Whether the Germans tattooed the Jews is of little/no consequence. Accordingly, I think it's odd that CWP has decided to argue so zealously that they did not. Moreover, if Jews really did tattoo each other, it seems odd that they would conceal that fact. Surely, if the German's issued no tattoos at Auschwitz, someone would let it slip that he received his tattoo from a fellow inmate.
Jewish prohibition on tattooes certainly doesn't mean they couldn't have done it. It's just one factor to consider, and I think it makes it less likely so many Jews would have voluntarily tattooed themselves.
Non-Jews at Auschwitz were tattooed too. Why would they play along with the ruse. Here is Pierre Berg, a French gentile:
>At the first table, a son of a Warsaw haberdasher sewed the number, 172649, onto my jacket and pants. I sat down at the next table where a German prisoner wrote my name and serial number on a card. From the corner of my eye, I watched alarmed as the man next to me got tattooed. The bleeding numbers were taking up his whole forearm. The German processing me grabbed my left arm, dipped his pen into his white, porcelain inkstand and attacked my forearm with fast, little jabs. I clenched my teeth, but the physical pain was less than the stinging realization that the numbers 172649 meant I was now officially property of the Third Reich.
>“Will this ever come off?”
>He shook his head. “It’s permanent.”
Sounds believable to me. Can Carlos Porter give even one example of an Auschwitz inmate who corroborates his theory?
*Jews use Torah prohibitions on consuming blood to deflect blood libels (using Chrisitian blood for Matzo, etc.), and I have a book "debunking" the Protocols of Zion by showing point by point how the protocols contradict Jewish law. (Terrible book btw.) I think the Protocols are a hoax but that hardly proves it. As to the blood libels, Ariel Toaff has shown "strong documentary evidence in medieval medical handbooks that dried human blood, traded by both Jewish and Christian merchants, was thought to be medicinally efficacious." And I agree with Toaff that it's possible* there existed small heretical sects of Ashkenazi Jews that used blood at Passover or Purim.
