Prescott Bush, $1.5 million, and Auschwitz: how the Bush family wealth is linked to the holocaust

Toby Rogers

While the Enron scandal currently unfolds, another Bush family business scandal lurks beneath the shadows of history that may dwarf it.

SNIP...

But while President Bush publicly embraced the community of holocaust survivors in Washington last spring, he and his family have been keeping a secret from them for over 50 years about Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather. According to classified documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an heir to these profits from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in 1980 by his father, former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

Throughout the Bush family's decades of public life, the American press has gone out of its way to overlook one historical fact – that through Union Banking Corporation (UBC), Prescott Bush, and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, along with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, financed Adolf Hitler before and during World War II. It was first reported in 1994 by John Loftus and Mark Aarons in The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People.

However, Prescott Bush's banks were not just financing Hitler as previously reported. In fact, there was a distinct business link much deeper than Mr. Higham or Mr. Loftus knew at the time their books were published.

A classified Dutch intelligence file which was leaked by a courageous Dutch intelligence officer, along with newly surfaced information from U.S. government archives, "confirms absolutely," John Loftus says, the direct links between Bush, Thyssen and genocide profits from Auschwitz.

The business connections between Prescott Bush and Fritz Thyssen were more direct than what has been previously written. This new information reveals how Prescott Bush and UBC, which he managed directly, profited from the Holocaust. A case can be made that the inheritors of the Prescott Bush estate could be sued by survivors of the Holocaust and slave labor communities. To understand the complete picture of how Prescott Bush profited from the Holocaust, it is necessary to return to the year 1916, where it all began.

1. Nice as a point of reference, but lest anyone gt their hopes up

note that the publication ceased to be in existence in 2002.

2. Raising level of awareness may help keep any other bush outta power

and that's a good thing. The American people need to learn more of the history of clan Bush and their class.

But, seems the clan is going south to hide out with the other old Nazis anyway. Need to go there and help expose them to the populations likely to be exploited next. Lots of raw resources in South America. Lots of the kinds of stuff Nazis like to plunder for their own little clique.

3. Be Great If Someone Tried It

And it would be the only way the public will ever learn of this.

4. I wondered why no one tied Prescott to George's remarks...

I was shocked that George would even open the subject of the Nazis, knowing his grandpa was so well connected and all.
