question re Dora camp

[Doug Millison]

Dear Mr. McVay,

I participate in the discussion on the Pynchon-L listserve.  As you 
may know, Thomas Pynchon's novel, Gravity's Rainbow, includes a 
depiction of slave laborers and dead and dying prisoners at the Dora 
camp, as well as an extended passage that takes place in the 
Mittelwerk facility, where these slave laborers were forced to help 
build V-2 rockets. A disagreement has emerged, concerning whether or 
not the deaths at Dora -- and more generally, the Dora camp itself -- 
could be considered an aspect of the Holocaust.  Some of us were 
wondering if you'd care to offer an answer to that question.

Thanks in advance, and thank you for your work in countering the 
efforts of Holocaust deniers.

Cordially,
Doug Millison
