Nazi Concentration Camps on Staten Island?
In 1981, Jack Glenn, director of the popular 1940s
newsreel series, March of Time, dies at age 76.
His obituary, distributed by the Associated Press
(and published in the Bergen, New Jersey Sunday
Record on February 15, 1981) let slip an amazing
revelation. Accorfing to the obit:

As senior director for the popular movie house

newsreel, he often created world events with

actors and movie sets. One such news feature

film, Inside Nazi Germany, made in 1938, included

footage of a "concentration camp" that was filmed

on Staten Island with scores of New York City

actors. Much of the films footage was shot within

the borders of the Third Reich by a freelance

cameraman, but (Louis) Rochemont [Glenn's

producer] felt that the film had been censored by

German authorities and ordered Glenn to reenact

wide reported (rumored?) Nazi camp atrocities.

So it was that the media itself was already "creating"
a Holocaust before the so-called atrocoties had allegedly
started happening. And millions of Americans watching
the newsreels in there local theatres were convinced that
they were seeing "the real thing." How many such images
of "reality" that we see on a regular basis are acutally the
creation of movie magicians?
