[...] 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.

The US government had known that many American companies were aiding
Hitler, like Standard Oil, General Motors and Chase Bank, all of which was
sanctioned after Pearl Harbor. But as The New York Times reporter Charles
Higham later discovered, and published in his 1983 groundbreaking book,
Trading With The Enemy; The Nazi American Money Plot 1933-1949, "the
government smothered everything during and even after the war." Why?

According to Higham, the US government believed "a public scandal ... would
have drastically affected public morale, caused widespread strikes and
perhaps provoked mutinies in the armed services." Higham claims the
government thought "their trial and imprisonment would have made it
impossible for the corporate boards to help the American war effort."

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. [...]
