OK I have seen this quote in many places, mentioning the "American Rohrbach Commission" but am unable to locate any information on this commission itself:


"The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable pain. Others were placed in boxes with only their heads, hands and legs sticking out. Then hungry rats were placed in the boxes to gnaw upon their bodies. Some were nailed to the ceiling by their fingers or by their feet, and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and left hanging until they died of exhaustion.

"Others were chained to the floor and hot lead poured into their mouths. Many were tied to horses and dragged through the streets of the city, while Jewish mobs attacked them with rocks and kicked them to death. Christian mothers were taken to the public square and their babies snatched from their arms. A red Jewish terrorist would take the baby, hold it by the feet, head downward and demand that the Christian mother deny Christ. If she would not, he would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet.

"Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: 'The whole cement floor of the execution hall of the Jewish Cheka of Kiev was flooded with blood; it formed a level of several inches. It was a horrible mixture of blood, brains and pieces of skull. All the walls were bespattered with blood. Pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them. A gutter of 25 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters deep and about 10 meters long was along its length full to the top with blood. Some bodies were disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out, the head, face and neck and trunk were covered with deep wounds. Further on, we found a corpse with a wedge driven into its chest. Some had no tongues. In a corner we discovered a quantity of dismembered arms and legs belonging to no bodies that we could locate.'" (Defender Magazine, October 1933)

Can I say how surprised I am, that none of the excellent posters on the board have any info about this?

I had a look around and I couldn't turn up anything. All I got were genealogy web sites, a few personal and professional pages with that surname but that was it. It's like it never existed.

OK I did some more digging and came up with the quote being from a publication called "Defender Magazine" with a publication date of October, 1933.

It is quoted by Eustace Mullins in his book/pamphlet "The Secret Holocaust":

However there are many publications called "Defender Magazine" including one by Raytheon, which was not around in 1933 of course.

There are many useful quotes in this above piece, including Congressional testimony where an eyewitness who visited Petrograd meets NYC Jews who had come over to Russia as they were followers of Trotsky/Bronstein.

Getting closer, I came across this chunk of text:


Kansas evangelist Gerald Winrod (1900-1957), founder of the Defenders of the
Christian Faith, and third-party presidential candidate Gerald L.K. Smith
(1898-1976), who called himself a Baptist minister, preached vicious
anti-Semitism in a decade when Americans were looking for scapegoats to make
sense of suffering caused by the Depression. In Smith's magazine The Cross and
the Flag, he taught that Jews are in fact "sons of Satan." (25) Smith
continued preaching and publishing until his death in 1976. Winrod and Smith
were both sons of evangelical preachers, but both ended up as supporters of
Hitler and opponents of American participation in World War II. Smith, who began
his career as an organizer for Louisiana populist Huey Long, argued that Jews
hated Hitler because the fuhrer was a devout, Bible-believing Christian. (26)
After Long's assassination, Smith moved back to his native midwest and received
32,000 votes in Michigan's 1942 U.S. Senate election. He ran for president in
1944. Three years later, Smith founded the Christian Nationalist Crusade, moving
in 1953 to Los Angeles, home of the nascent “Christian Identity” movement in
the 1950s, where he published tracts with titles such as "Jews Strive for
World Control." (27) Gerald Winrod believed in a Jewish conspiracy to
control the world and dabbled in electoral politics. In 1938 Winrod gained 22
percent of the vote as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Kansas. His Defender
magazine reached 100,000 readers in the 1930s. A fervent supporter of Hitler,
Winrod was indicted for sedition in 1942, but the case ended in a mistrial.

Some Wikipedia info on Winrod:

Wichita State Univ. library system has a bunch of his stuff, here is the catalog listing showing the years the mag was active:

I did come across reference to the Defender magazine and 1933 but I didn't make the connection. I'm not going to make any comment on what the guy talks about. The water is pretty murky right about now on this forum and others and my historical knowledge is not strong enough.

I'm begining to suspect there is a supra-religious element in amongst all of this.

supra-

a prefix meaning “above, over” ( supraorbital ) or “beyond the limits of, outside of” ( supramolecular; suprasegmental ).

Compare super-.

I'm not sure what a "supra-religious element" might be, but we sure do have some anti-religious nuts.

Perhaps the American Rohrbach Commission has been scrubbed out of the history books due to the damning evidence that they witnessed. If not for Winrod's magazine, we'd never have heard accounts of such horrors.

I recall in 1991-92, I heard a story from the Kuwaiti Ambassador's daughter tesrtifying before congress telling a story about how the Iraqis treated the babies in the maternity ward of a Kuwaiti hospital, after they stole the incubators. It was pure propaganda--no truth to it at all. It happened to make the public support the war against Iraq.

The piece cited in the OP here has the same smell, feel, and taste. I wonder who the original audience was, and what the public was supposed to feel about whom because of it. I'm not surprised that no one can find trails to this event, because like a lot of atrocity stories, they are propaganda and lies.
