Falsehood in War Time, by Arthur Ponsonby, a British
Labour MP and pacifist. The significance of this book
is that itis the 1942 edition - that is, it was published
in the same year as (but probably after) the Wansee
Conference which decided to implement the "Final
Solution."
Tt shows
(a) that even in early 1942, when Britain was in a very
difficult part of the Second World War, it allowed
paper to be provided for printing of an anti-
government book, one which exposed the lies of 1914-
1918; and
(b) that many people in Britain were cynical about
official war-horror propaganda (the book had already
gone through eleven printings), even though the actual
atrocities in the Second World War were real, while
those cited in the book were cither unsubstantiated
rumours or made-up propaganda stories; and
(c) that many readers were prepared to buy the
argument that Germany had a raw deal after 1919.The author, Arthur Ponsonby
Ponsonby had been a member of the British
diplomatic service, and then a Liberal MP. During
‘World War I, he joined the Labour Party, and
eventually became the leader of that party in the
House of Lords. He left the Labour Party in 1940
when it supported Winston Churchill"s government.
The book
Falsehood in Wartime is frequently used by
Holocaust deniers to "prove" that the Holocaust did
not take place, and that it was another wartime lie.
However, there is abundant evidence for the
existence of the Holocaust. The minutes of the
‘Wansee conference of 1942, which initiated it, are in
another document on this website/CD ROM.By ARTHUR
