Hilter Used Jews' Gold Fillings in His Mouth

Dentist had 11 pounds of gold for senior Nazi officials

Share

(Newser) – Adolf Hitler's dentist placed  ten fillings in the führer's mouth in 1944, most likely made from gold fillings removed from Jews at concentration camps, according to a new book. Hitler's dentist had 11 pounds of gold from concentration camp fillings at his disposal to treat senior Nazi officials, according to a recently discovered letter he wrote.

The gold in Hitler's mouth "most likely from the concentration camps," said Henrik Eberle, co-author of the book Was Hitler Ill?  It's long been known Nazis removed gold fillings from their prisoners, but the use of some of the gold is only now being traced, reports the Telegraph.

So? Gold is gold, who the fuck would look at 11 pounds of gold and be like "Actually, no, I want you to use DIFFERENT gold for my teeth". Reply

I would for a start, and I think the vast majority of people would have a problem with this. I guess not all of us are born with your totally detached view on the world. It makes me shhudder just to think about it.

Either you believe that the molecular composition of gold owned by Jews is different than gold not owned by Jews, or you think there's some supernatural quality to Jews' gold that succeeds its owner's death or I'm missing something entirely in your reasoning.

No, nothing like that at all. Just a normal human response of revulsion concerning the "provenance" of that bit of gold. I would not even want it as a souvenir, even at $1000+ an ounce!
