I'm afraid that Roosevelt and the others will have the same suspicions as James, because before telling the story, I also made a point of emphasizing: "Mr. President, the 'gas baths' I am talking about are not the kind of bathrooms in the home, but similar to the public baths, which can accommodate hundreds of people at a time." If there is something you don't understand in what I am going to talk about, feel free to ask a question, and I will give you a detailed answer. ”

James's face came to light when he heard my explanation, and he translated what I had just said to Roosevelt and the others.

I saw that several people were ready to listen, and I thought back to what I had seen about Auschwitz in films and documents, and then I began to tell them everything I knew as if I were telling a story: "...... When the 'death train' carrying the Jews arrived at the station at Auschwitz, the men on board were driven out of the carriages by SS soldiers, who were not allowed to carry any belongings, and were forcibly lined up on the platform in separate columns of men and women, flanked by SS soldiers with loaded guns and wolf dogs.

Waiting on the platform were a number of concentration camp doctors, whose job was to conduct a simple screening and decide whether to send them directly to the gas chambers for death, or to become short-term forced laborers.

Those who were deemed unable to work by them were sent directly to Birkenau. Of course, the executioners would not let the victims know the truth until they were slaughtered, and they would tell the people who were to be sent to the gas chambers on the radio that they should be guided by the camp guards to take a bath in the bathrooms prepared for them. While removing lice from my body, I can recover from the fatigue of the journey......"

"Wait a minute, Leda." When Eleanor heard this. I couldn't help but interrupt me, ignoring the surprised glances of Roosevelt and the others, and asked bluntly: "What I want to find out now is: Didn't the Jews ever doubt all this, and no one cared about their luggage left on the train, for example?" ”

Eleanor's words made me stunned, thinking back to the movie that I didn't seem to have seen such a plot, but in order to believe that what I said was true. I can only explain to her as I imagined: "Some Jews are still not at ease with the mountains of luggage on the platform. Would have thought that the SS next to what looked like an officer raised his concerns. But the SS would tell them that the luggage would be sorted out later by a cleaning team and delivered to their new quarters. Hearing this reply, the Jews were relieved of their fears. Honestly followed the guards to the final 'gas bath'. ”

Speaking of which. I deliberately paused to see if they had any other questions, and seeing that all the people were listening intently to my story, I continued: "The people followed the guards towards the gas chambers, and on the way they could see street signs with the words 'Sterilization,' and the appearance of the gas chambers looked like a large grass-roofed wooden hut where the peasants lived. Set in an apple orchard. There are thousands of houses like this in the Polish countryside. So once again lowered their vigilance.

On the door of the wooden house there is a neat arrow-shaped wooden sign that reads, 'Sterilization and sterilization are entered'. Not far away were several small huts for stripping, with numbered Tesco on the walls, and benches lined up along the walls for Jews to hang and fold their clothes. The guards also pretended to be friendly and reminded people to remember the number of their coat hooks so that they would not be able to find their belongings when they came out.

In order to keep the victims from suspicion, there were signs on the walls in various languages welcoming everyone to work in Auschwitz, and even the time and precautions for bathing. In this case, no one thinks that they are dying, and they even fantasize about how to live better in the new environment.

However, when everyone entered the bathroom, the heavy iron door was closed by the guards, and locks and seals were added to the outside. After all the lights in the bathroom went out, the rows of showers on the roof began to spray poisonous gas. By the time the Jews in the baths realized that the doom had befallen them, it was already too late, and in this way, one by one, they died helplessly and miserably inside......"

Even though I'm just talking about the events that happened in history, I can't help but raise my voice because of the emotion when I say this.

"Oshanina, please control your emotions." James reminded me quietly after translating my words to Roosevelt; "Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the whole story, Mr. President."

Perhaps understanding that James was communicating with me, Harold, who didn't speak much, asked, "General Oshanina, may I ask you a question: who will clean up these corpses in the gas chambers?" From what I know of the Germans, they don't bother to do such things; If they were prisoners in concentration camps, weren't they worried about the leak of the news and causing riots in the camp? ”

"You guessed right, Mr. Harold, the Germans disdain to do such dirty work." I squeezed a smile out of my hand at the secretary of state, and said, "They use a special detachment of strong laborers selected from the concentration camps, and these men wait for the door of the gas chamber to open again before pushing a cart into the room." The blood stains on the test and the feces on the ground were washed away with the faucet, and then the messy corpses were carried to the trolley and then transported to the crematorium. Of course, before that, they dug a large pit nearby and threw all the bodies into it to bury them, but then they burned them because the entire groundwater in the area was contaminated. The bones that were not burned after cremation were finely refined in a grinder and transported by truck to the river for scattering.

Only the leak you feared, Mr. Harold, is completely non-existent. Because the labor of these special detachments, every once in a while, would be sent into the gas chambers by the Germans and replaced with a new batch of people. The Germans gathered together the weak, the frightened, and the unproductive who were easily frightened by the brutal conditions of Auschwitz. Explain to them in straightforward terms what they want to do in the future. If you are willing to cooperate, you will live; Otherwise, they will be shot on the spot. Although quite a few people were shot because they refused to agree to the Germans' arrangement. But there are still such people that the Germans need. ”

"General Oshanina, I have one more question to ask." Roosevelt, who had a serious expression, waited for James to translate my words, and then asked slowly, "Is all this you said true?" ”

"Yes, Mr. President." After saying this, in order to prevent him from questioning the source of my information, I preemptively threw out the reason I had prepared: "Part of this information came from the prisoners of the concentration camps. Some of them are officers and soldiers from the army who surrendered to Cheng. And I summarized all the information and added my own analysis to come to the truth of the whole incident. Please believe it. Everything I say is true. ”

After hearing this, Roosevelt asked noncommittally: "General Oshanina, what do you think were the prisoners of war and civilians brutally murdered by the Germans in the concentration camps?" How many people are there? 100,000, 200,000. Or 500,000, 600,000? ”

Eleanor listened to Roosevelt's question and exclaimed, "Oh my God! ”

I shook my head, gritted my molars, and said, "Mr. President, this is Hitler's organized and premeditated genocide, and he wants to wipe all the Jews off the face of the earth, so the number of people killed will never be a few hundred thousand." "When I saw the look of disbelief and shock on Eleanor's face, I took a deep breath and said the more appalling data decisively." I conservatively estimate the massacres carried out by the Germans in the concentration camps. The death toll is at least three million or more. ”

"Three million?!" My words silenced all the people in the house. After a while, Harold asked in surprise, "General Oshanina, are you sure you didn't say the wrong number?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Secretary of State." I replied to Harold in the affirmative: "I said that my figures are only conservative estimates, and that there may be more people who died in the Nazi concentration camps." ”

"No way, it's simply not possible." Hearing my answer, Harold shook his head like a rattle and said in a loud voice, "General Oshanina, you must have made a mistake. No matter how brutal the Germans are, they will never be able to do such an inhumane thing, you know, three million people, what a terrible existence. ”

As I pondered how to dispel Harold's suspicions, Roosevelt, in a wheelchair, spoke again: "Dear Harold, I think General Oshanina is telling the truth. ”

Harold didn't expect Roosevelt to be like this suddenly, and couldn't help but be particularly surprised: "Mr. President, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Roosevelt raised his hand to interrupt him, and said to himself: "I received a secret letter from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill last week, which specifically mentions: In February this year, British intelligence received a telegram from a Dutch intelligence agent, which reported in detail the information on the Nazi mass murder of Jews. Prime Minister Churchill was shocked and at the same time unbelievable at the same time by the horrific massacre. ”

"Dear Franklin," Eleanor said softly to Roosevelt, after waiting for Roosevelt to finish speaking, "we have long been informed of all sorts of Nazi gossip about the murder of the Jews, but we cannot openly expose the Nazi malignancy because there is no solid evidence. I would like to propose that Oshanina go to the Reichstag and say what she has just said to all the parliamentarians, so that they may understand that in the land of Nazi rule, there are crimes that have brought shame to humanity. ”

When I went to the Congress to speak, I couldn't help but see what Eleanor proposed to Roosevelt, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and as long as I went, I would soon be famous in the United States.

Just when I decided that I would not hesitate to say yes as long as Roosevelt asked me if I would like to speak to Congress, Roosevelt shook his head and whispered to Eleanor, "No, this is not going to work." ”

"Why?" Roosevelt's reaction surprised me not only but Eleanor, who asked curiously, "Franklin, why is that?" ”

"Although we are now allies with the Soviet Union, there are still many forces in Congress that are hostile to Soviet Russia." Roosevelt patiently explained to Eleanor: "If we hastily send Oshanina to Congress, even if we know in our hearts that everything she said is true, those forces will still think that the facts that Oshanina said are a malicious false accusation against Germany." In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I still do not recommend that Oshanina give a speech in Congress. ”

Hearing Roosevelt say this, although I understood the distress in his heart, I still couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart. In order to avoid being found out that I understood their conversation, I had to try to pretend that nothing was happening, and turned to ask James: "Mr. James, did Prime Minister Churchill use letters every time he contacted Mr. President?" ”

"Not necessarily." When James heard my childish question, he couldn't help but smile, and then said: "It depends on the specific situation, some things can be said on the special line, and some can be telegraphed. Only those things that are particularly important and cannot be explained in the telephone or telegram will send a confidential letter. ”

After briefly exchanging words with Roosevelt for a while, Eleanor looked at me again and said with some apologies: "Lida, I'm sorry, I have a few words to say to Mr. President, and I snubbed you, I hope you don't mind." ”

Since Roosevelt and I were not far apart, Eleanor must have known about the conversation she had just had with Roosevelt, and I should have heard a lot, even if I couldn't understand English, but my name had appeared in the conversation between the two, and in order to prevent me from having any bad thoughts, she also made a special reason to explain to me: "I just discussed with Mr. President that you should accompany you to visit a few hospitals in Washington tomorrow, I wonder if you would like to?" ”

Hearing Eleanor say this, I quickly got up from my seat, bowed slightly to her, and said gratefully: "Madam, thank you for your trust in me, it is my honor to accompany me to the inspection, and I am very happy to follow your arrangement." ”

"Lida, I'm so glad you agreed to go out with me, an old lady." Eleanor said as she stood up, walked over to me, and hugged me with open arms. When she let me go, she smiled again and said, "It's getting late, I'll let Mr. Harold take you back to the embassy." (To be continued.) )
