The author's biography  Jürgen Graf, a true Swiss hero, a multitalented intellectual.   A   Swiss school teacher and language genius. Graf speaks seventeen  languages fluently, among them the most exotic ones such as  Russian, Chinese. He is also one of the most successful authors of  revisionism. His most popular book The Holocaust under the  Scanner has been translated into Russian, Bulgarian, Italian,  Romanian, Danish, English, French, Spanish and Swedish. He  has been charged, tried and convicted in Switzerland. He has  been dismissed for the second time from his teaching post. He  went recently to Russia where he researched Russian archives for  months. The Swiss government, under pressure, charged, tried and convicted Graf in September 1998 to 15 months in jail under the new anti-racism law. His German-born, 80-year-old wheel chair-bound publisher, Gerhard Förster, was likewise dragged into court and convicted to 1 year in prison. Four weeks after the sentence was pronounced, Mr. Förster died.

Foreword

In the spring of 1993, a thin book authored by myself and entitled The Holocaust
under the Scanner, was published by the Guideon Burg Verlag (Postfach 52, 4009
Basel). At that time, the book represented the very first attempt to summarize the
principle arguments of the Holocaust revisionists. The book met with a warm
reception which has confirmed its usefulness. It has since been translated into French,
Dutch, Bulgarian, Arabic, as well as Italian (in a somewhat abridged form).

Today -- only four years later -- the Scanner is outdated, for the following reasons:

- Revisionist research has made major progress since early 1993. Any book
attempting to present the major findings of revisionist research today must at least
mention trail-blazing publications such as the Rudolf Report, the Ball Report, Carlo
Mattogno and Franco Deana's study of the crematoria at Auschwitz, or Arnulf
Neumeier's research on the technical problems of the Treblinka case. There is an
urgent need to discuss Jean-Claude Pressac's second book (The Crematoria of
Auschwitz) -- hailed by the media as the refutation of revisionism -- as well as the
new, "improved" version of the Holocaust now acquiring concrete shape with Daniel
Goldhagen's book Hitler's Willing Executioners. This "new, improved" version is
apparently intended to replace the version which has so far placed the central
emphasis on the gas chambers as the instrument in the mass extermination of the
Jews;

- The Scanner was unable to meet strict standards of scientific proof, and not merely
because it contained a few errors which were inevitable at that time (for example,
relating to the crematory capacity at Auschwitz). There were not enough references;
the bibliography was rather slim. 

In view of the implacable censureship now in force in the "democratic" countries --
which has, in some countries, taken on the form of brutal police-state repression -- the
Internet is acquiring increased significance in the spreading of revisionism. People
have repeatedly asked us to make the Scanner available on the Internet, but have
preferred to distance ourselves from the book for the reasons mentioned above. As an
alternative, we decided to draw up the present text, which is considerably more
detailed and documented, and which takes account of the most recent developments in
this field.

The present work -- now available, not merely on the Internet, but in book form -- was
made possible by the encouragement and research of a French associate and personal
friend. The original text of the manuscript was translated into Russian -- without my
knowledge, but with my subsequent consent -- and appeared in the autumn of 1996 as
a special issue of the nationalist newspaper Russkij Vjestnik, No. 32-34, 1996. By late
1997, the special issue in question had sold 200,000 copies. Together with Roger
Garaudy's The Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, our text was the first revisionist

9

work distributed in Russia; in view of the overwhelming interest shown by the
Russian public, further revisionist texts were soon translated into that language.

The strictly logical structure of the present book is also the result of encouragement
and suggestions from the French friend mentioned above, to such an extent that he
deserves equal mention with myself as co-author. Since, due to family considerations,
he cannot afford to allow his existence to be destroyed by the "French" system of
"justice" and "French" inquisitorial methods, however, he has been compelled to
adopt the use of a pseudonym, until the day -- let us hope that it is not too far in the
future -- when France, Germany, Austria, and my own country, Switzerland, are free
countries once again.

And the truth shall make you free.

An Introduction
by Mario Consoli

Revisionism and Pluralism

The following text is a free translation, somewhat abridged, with a few supplementary
remarks, of the article "Nessun cambiamento senza vero pluralismo" (No Change
Without True Pluralism), which appeared in the Italian publication L'Uomo Libero
(Casella Postale 1658, 20123 Milano/Italy, issue 41 of April 1996.
The Throttling of Pluralism

An observant analysis of the political and cultural life in the Europe of the first half of
our century will reveal a world of extraordinary dynamism and intellectual originality,
in crass contradiction to the stagnation and sterile conformity of the past fifty years.

Brilliant, original thinkers were in no short supply. In Italy, thinkers such as
D'Annunzio, Marinetti and his futuristic school, Soffici, Palazzeschi, Balla, Gentile,
Papini, Prezzolini, Corridoni and Spirito, were active during the early decades;
elsewhere in Europe, great figures like Pound, Gentile, Hamsun, and Céline achieved
prominence. Opposition figures like Croce, Gramsci, and Sturzo were permitted to
develop and disseminate new ideas, even in fascist Italy.

Antonio Gramsci, Chairman of the Italian Communist Party, was given a single cell in
the prison of Turi (Bari), and had access to 700 books, including the complete works
of Marx and Croce, as well as 400 bundles of newspapers. The philosopher Benedetto
Croce was able to publish his newspaper La Critica throughout the entire fascist era
until the Second World War. At the peak of fascist power, Arnoldi Mondadori
became the first publisher in Europe to issue the works of Trotsky; articles by the
great theoretician of permanent revolution appeared in the daily newspaper Corriere
della Sera (source: Fernando Ritter, Fascismo Antifascismo, Il Settimo Sigillo, 1991). 

The ideas of Pareto, Spengler, Weber, and Sorel were passionately discussed;
Pirandello celebrated his triumphs on the stage; youths participated in open
demonstrations to the sounds of hymns by Mascagni and Puccini.

But where are the intellectual giants of today? Instead of thinkers, we are surrounded
by hordes of mental pygmies without a single new or original idea -- men who
scrounge a living by engaging in increasingly grotesque and hysterical attacks upon
the men and ideals which governed Italy for twenty years and Germany for twelve
years. 

11

If one takes the trouble to overcome one's artificially induced reluctance and actually
read the works of Mussolini -- his Labour Charter, the Doctrine of Fascism, his
Dictionary of Politics; when we reread the works of National Socialism and compare
them -- for content, depth of thought, originality -- with the programmes of the Old
and "New" parties of today or the blabberings of the political leaders of today -- an
incomparable difference in depth, in breadth, in philosophical conception, becomes
immediately apparent. 

How can one ignore the enormous progress in social justice which made fascist Italy a
model for all of Europe? Many original, long-term solutions to social problems were
developed throughout those controversial years. Public discussions of today never
range beyond wage demands or protests against an unfair tax system. In the USA --
the country which has been held up to us as a model for the entire world for fifty years
-- a man without a credit card has no rights. He cannot even be admitted to a decent
hospital, and must be satisfied with a "training" hospital, where the staff are still in
training and normal standards of hygiene are ignored. Just recently, we read of a girl
who died after being refused admission to a New York hospital for lack of funds or
credit references.

How can people not be aware that the first ecological -- or "Green", as they are called
today -- theories were developed by Walter Darre, Minister of Agriculture during the
Third Reich, together with concrete and original solutions to environmental problems
such as can be offered by no "Green" party or theorist of today?

Of course, it's no good sinking into the pathos and sentimentality of nostalgia; yet the
facts cited above call for a profound analysis of the factors which destroyed the
cultural and social inventiveness of the first half of the twentieth century, resulting in
the cultural and political sterility of the Europe of today.

How did the ruling power cliques succeed so completely in reducing our entire
existence to its purely economic aspects for fifty years, in compelling us to adopt a
uniform, purely materialistic value system, without encountering any serious
resistance? How did we all become the obedient servants of an international and
multicultural New World Order? Why is there no longer any controversy, or conflict
between contrasting values and ideals?
It is because there is no longer any pluralism of ideas.

Pluralism means tolerance, freedom, and respect for differences of opinion. Above all,
it means the recognition that no idea may be permitted to crush other ideas out of
existence.

The absence of true pluralism as it has come to exist over the past few decades is a
totally new phenomenon in world history. This is the first age in history in which
everyone has been compelled, in actual fact, to accept the same ideals, to agree with a
uniform view of the world and of humanity. 

12

The Crisis of Man and the State

Men once knew that the individual was no more than one link in a long chain. Many
links preceded the individual, many would follow. This sense of the continuity of
human existence strengthened family relationships and forged communities, nations,
and cultures together. The individual derived spiritual and moral strength from his
awareness of that he was part of a whole. It provided a powerful incentive to create
works which would survive the individual. Faced with the reality of death, the
individual knew that life itself did not end with him. The individual on in his
descendents, his community, in the people and culture of which he was a member.

The exaggerated individualism of our era has deracinated people, robbed them of their
heritage, and condemned them to death as an actual fact. The notion of death as the
end of all things is an entirely new phenomenon in human history. The spiritual world
of our ancestors, who took the urns of their forefathers with them when they changed
their residence, is light years removed from the mentality of contemporary society. In
large modern cities, cemeteries are considered unpleasant reminders of the past, and
may perhaps disappear in the not-too distant future. 

When people tire of the glittering world of consumerism and materialism and ponder
on the meaning of existence, they discover the emptiness of the surrounding vacuum.
The result is overwhelming hopelessness, anxiety, and desperation. The suicide rate in
Europe today, expressed as a percentage of the population, is eight times higher than a
century ago.

The spectre which haunts us is most fittingly demonstrated by the United States, the
nation which has been, and is, held up to us as a model for fifty years. According to a
study by the US Department of Health, 566 out of 1000 Americans use mind-altering
drugs today. 

The ideal of material, individual, well-being has been deliberately promoted to such
an extent that it has been elevated to the status of the true purpose of life; the
inevitable result can only be an unbroken chain of catastrophes. The immediate
moment is all that counts; no one cares about long-term effects. Nothing is ever
calculated or planned long-term. Since everything is dictated by the mechanisms of
the Free Market, the inevitable result is an exclusive concern for short-term benefits,
regardless of any other consideration. 

All the experts, in whatever field, are aware of the price which our descendants will
be forced to pay for our blind addiction to short-term consumerism. Our descendants
will have to live in an environment in which the quality of life will have deteriorated
to an inconceivable extent, in which the balance of nature is irreversibly out of joint.

Yet no one dares resist. No one dares to challenge the basis of the axiomatic values on
which the international New World Order is based: the Consumer Economy and the
Delusion of Endless Growth.

Like the individual, the states of this Europe of the twentieth century which is now
drawing to a close are blindly heading for catastrophe. The sovereign, independent

13

State of today is nothing more than a memory of past ages. Military occupation of
Europe by a non-European power is still tolerated -- fifty years after the end of WWII.
An incident which took place recently in Naples is symbolic: two Lieutenants in the
US Air Force stole a handbag from a passer-by in the middle of the city centre. They
were arrested by the Carabinieri and brought before an examining magistrate, who
was then compelled to hand them over to the US military police under the terms of a
humiliating "Agreement" between Italy and the USA (Corriere della Sera, 26 January
1995).

The Europe of Maastricht is the final abdication of all independent national states and
independent peoples, in favor of a private, supranational financial power. 

Privatization, carried out behind a smoke screen of fashionable financial theory and
alleged to be necessitated by economic problems caused by public debt, has cast all
pretense aside and is increasingly revealing its true nature, proving itself nothing but
the uninhibited asset-stripping of national resources, the plundering of the Italian
heritage in favour of foreign capital.

Willful, deliberate mass immigration -- quite apart from the political and cultural
devastation which are the inevitable result -- is destructive in many immediate,
practical respects: the Italian government should have intervened to put an end to it
long ago, because it is engaged in a desperate struggle for the economic survival of its
own people. But no -- while unemployment grows more and more serious, politicians
blabber about creating jobs for immigrants. Immigrants receive free housing, free
medical care, while countless Italian families cannot even find a decent place to live.
All this is accompanied by shameless talk of the need to close hospitals for lack of
funds.
The criminalization of Fascism and National
Socialism

Most young people today know almost nothing about the history of the twentieth
century; they know of figures like Hitler and Mussolini from hearsay only; they have
no notion of the ideals which these figures represented, or the values which their
political movements gave to the soul of Europe during the first half of the century.

Fifty years of brain-washing, falsification of history, cinema imbecility and television
propaganda have caused people to equate those men and movements with brute
violence, senseless bloodshed and fanaticism, in a word, with evil.

The concepts of "fascist" and "Nazi" have been emptied of all political, cultural, and
idealistic content, and have become bludgeons to club down all opposition --
everyone, that is, who dares to speak out against internationalism and multicultural
democracy.

"Fascist!" The very word is a deadly insult, destroying all possibility of free
discussion in an instant. This is an insult which deprives the victim any right to take
any part in open debate. "You're a fascist. Therefore, you are evil. Therefore, you

14

In destroying Mussolini and Hitler, they also destroyed Plato and Dante, Machiavelli
and Nietzsche, Caesar and Napoleon, Rome and the Holy Roman Empire.
Thus the trap closes.

Let us analyze a few of the fundamental dogmas of our time, so as to have a few
concrete examples:

- The Free Market. This is not only THE prevalent economic doctrine of today, it is
the ONLY economic doctrine accepted by ALL political groupings, from the Right to
the Left. Concepts like "economic self-sufficiency" are inconceivable today; 

- The Multicultural Society. No one dare express even the slightest criticism for fear
of being attacked as "racist". A short time ago, the Italian government sponsored a
television advertisement in which a soothing, but subtly menacing voice was heard to
say: "We must get used to living in a multicultural society!" This is the world of 1984.

- Individualism. This is not only the basis for the primitive consumer mentality of
today, it has become the new morality, the new ideology of the masses, leading to
countless other evils in turn: feminism, rising divorce rates, abortion, right down to
the protection of the rights of drug dealers, perverts, and pornography producers.
Even Satanists have rights, and are strictly protected: in the broadcast Adepti (Rai 2,
18 February 1996), several of shadowy figures were respectfully interviewed,
including individuals who had forced minors into acts of sexual perversion.

This is the "pluralism" bestowed upon us by the democratic-capitalistic system as a
blessing! Our society requires absolute subservience to these values, at the cost of
ostracism or severe punishment.

Total conformity of ideas is the graveyard of the mind. It is the end station of history.
The Role of the official version of history

The writing of history is in the pitiless grip of the ruling cliques, to an ever greater
extent than in politics and culture. No one is longer permitted to disturb the chorus of
praise for the New World Order with the slightest criticism.

The worldview which justifies all this must, of course, be all one-sided: the good on
one side, all evil on the other -- the wicked losers, by virtue of losing, are, of course,
blamed for everything from starting WWII to committing every atrocity in the history
of the world. 

Since the Nuremberg Trials, the most effective instrument in the criminalization of
fascism and National Socialism has been found to be the accusation of the Six Million
Jews: the genocide of the Jews -- "Six Million" Jews treacherously murdered in
diabolical gas chambers and turned into ashes. Six Million people -- a terrifyingly
round number, impossible to forget. Men, women, the elderly, children, infants. All
exterminated. And just because they were Jews!

16

The "Holocaust" today is a ball and chain, intended to remain welded to the ankles of
the German nation for all time.

Of course, it is a fact that there were concentration camps in Germany, just as there
concentration camps all over the world -- not just in Germany and Axis-controlled
territories, but in many European and non-European countries as well. 

How many prisoners of war were permitted to die in Soviet and Anglo-American
camps from hunger and exhaustion? How many German prisoners of war were
slaughtered AFTER THE END OF THE WAR? It's a six-digit figure! And what about
the destruction of Dresden? What about the countless other terror attacks on German,
Italian, and Japanese cities? What about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? What about the
looting, the mass murders of the civilian population? What about the hundreds of
thousands of Italian and German women and girls raped by the purveyors and
representatives of Allied "democracy"? What about the Yugoslavian Communist
stone quarries where thousands of Italians died in misery? Who weeps for them?

And how did the Americans deal with one of their noblest countryman, the poet Ezra
Pound? "He was locked in a barbed wire cage without a roof and without a bucket for
his human wastes; food was pushed in through the barbed wire; for days, he had to
shield his head from the burning sun with his bare hands... After two weeks, they
locked him in a cage of wood and iron measuring 2 x 2 m2 surrounded by a heavy
metal grid. The roof consisted of a tar paper-covered boards and the floor of cement.
He was hardly protected from the rain, and was illuminated day and night by large
search lights. In November 1945, he was transferred to the USA and locked up in a
common mental hospital for twelve years without any legal judgement..." (Pietro
Ciabanetti, Coltano 1945, Mursia).

To criminalize entire nations and peoples requires a lot more than just a few
individual crimes, such as spectacular reprisals against civilians, the suffering of
concentration camp inmates, or Gestapo interrogation methods. Such things have
always existed, everywhere, among the most diverse peoples.

As for the concentration camps, there were 1,255 concentration camps in post-war
Poland alone. Most of them were filled with Germans; 99% of the inmates were
civilians, women and children. Hundreds of thousands of them died (the Jewish writer
John Sack says that there were "only" 80,000 deaths) (John Sack, An Eye for an Eye,
Kabel Verlag, 1995).

And as for the mistreatment of prisoners of war, well, one need only mention one
individual case among many, namely, the treatment of the German defendants at the
Dachau Trial. According to the findings of an investigatory committee, they were
"exposed to every kind of physical and mental torture: 137 of 139 suffered irreparable
damage to the testicles" (Carlo Mattogno, Intervista sull'Olocausto, Edizioni di Ar,
1995.)

But all this is shouted down with screaming about the "Six Million Jews", allegedly
killed in an ice-cold, deliberately planned programme of extermination, mostly in gas
chambers.

17

Under the influence of the emotional trauma induced by the Holocaust propaganda,
Europe permitted the Jews to set up their anachronistic State of Israel in the Near
East, during which the Arab population was forcefully displaced or enslaved. The
mere mention of the Holocaust is enough to induce international public opinion to
permit the Jews to administer the occupied territories illegally, with brutal cruelty,
even today. 

Any pretence, no matter how thread-bare, is sufficient to bring the Holocaust into
remembrance, day after day, in literature, science, art, and politics. Instead of slowing
down or losing any of its brutal crushing force, the propaganda steam roller becomes
more overpowering with each passing year. In more and more European countries, the
Jewish version of the "truth" about the Holocaust is placed under a legal protection
order, so that Revisionist works may be prohibited and confiscated on whim; this is
being done with increasing frequency and violence.

The Holocaust must remain a myth, a dogma, exempt from all free historical
discussion. If this dogma were to collapse, then the significance of all other aspects of
relating to the Second World War would begin to crumble, and would have to be re-
examined. The same is true in politics. It would at long last be possible to return to
true pluralism in discussing the future status of Europe. Suddenly, it would no longer
be dishonourable to engage in discussion with anyone -- even real fascists! Those
values which imply the right of all peoples to protect their identity and independence -
- in contrast to uniformity and tyranny masquerading as "multiculturalism" and
"internationalism" -- would regain their honour. 

It is hardly an accident that recognition of the reality of the Holocaust was the final
and decisive tribute paid by Gianfranco Fini, leader of the post-fascist Alleanza
Nazionale, as the price for permission to participate in the national Italian system.
"The Holocaust cannot be erased... Unfortunately, it all happened", he said in the Fini
newspaper Il Secolo di Italia of 9 February 1996.

The practical manner in which the orthodox view of the Holocaust protects itself from
prying eyes, has been revealed with refreshing honesty by Alberto Tagliati, editor-in-
chief of the newspaper Historia. In the June 1995 edition, the publication featured an
interview with Prof. Luigi Cajani, under the title of "Una storia incancellabile"
(History Cannot be Erased), which confirmed the orthodox view of the Holocaust.
The initial intention was to publish a talk with the revisionist Auschwitz expert Carlo
Mattogno face to face with the Cajani interview. Tagliatti then decided to print only
the Cajani text, upon which Mattogno published his views in a text with the title
Intervista sull'Olocausto, from Edizioni di Ar.
The following is Tagliati's justification for this
procedure:

'History' he stated, 'is that which one era considers useful to hold true of another'. I do
not believe that this opinion should be revised or corrected, less than ever with
regards to Nazism. Of course, contemporary history has judged Nazism from a one-
sided point of view -- that of the victors, that of Nuremberg... Fifty years after the end
of the Second World War, by contrast, there are people who invoke a cold

18

'objectivity'... This pedantic attempt to square the circle reveals a sympathy with
Nazism...." (pp. 22-23).

Have historians so debased themselves that they have become the mere lackeys of a
ruling ideology? Have people really forgotten that the salient feature of European
civilization has always been its painfully exact research, its concern and search for
truth -- no matter how unwelcome it may be? Do people believed that the Second
World War has succeeded in causing all European peoples to abandon their whole
culture, their whole value system, all their traditional moral values, once and for all,
and forever?

When Prof. Robert Faurisson's first revisionist texts appeared, 34 French intellectuals,
under the leadership of the Jewish historians Pierre Vidal-Naquet and Léon Poliakov,
published an appeal on 21 February 1979 in Le Monde, the second sentence of which
stated:

"We must not ask how such a mass murder was technically possible. It was
technically possible because it happened."
A few of the standard criticisms made against the
revisionists

We consider it necessary to mention and refute some of the standard criticisms of
revisionism.

The first of these reproaches consists of equating revisionism with "Neo-Nazism".

This is an allegation which is as arbitrary as it is unjustified. Many of the most
important representatives of revisionism are alien to the ideas of National Socialism
and fascism in their manner of thinking, if not actually hostile to them. Their research
is historical and non-ideological. 

Revisionists have never wasted time arguing whether National Socialism was "good"
or "bad", or whether Hitler was right or wrong. They have always tried to determine
the simple facts and separate reality from myth.

Revisionists are repeatedly accused of "slandering the dead", of "incitement to racial
hatred", or "trivialization of mass murder". A more illogical or nonsensical argument
is hardly possible to imagine. How can one "justify" murder by attempting to prove
that the defendant was innocent (for example, that the victim died a natural death or
went missing or is still alive). How can research work intended to separate reality
from legend be declared equivalent to "incitement to racial hatred" or "slandering the
dead"?

When all else fails, we hear the following argument over and over again: even if the
figure of Six Million is highly exaggerated, and even if, in reality, many fewer --
perhaps half a million -- Jews died in the concentration camps, that is a crime, too; in
fact, it is no less monstrous, because "one single murdered Jew, one single Jew

19

segregated on the basis of his Jewishness, cries out to high heaven" (Il Secolo d'Italia,
9 February 1996).

Of course, that is true; but, by the same logic, it is an argument which applies equally
to all other races, religions, nationalities and beliefs as well. One might just as easily
say that one single German, Japanese, or Italian civilian, one National Socialist,
fascist, or revisionist murdered, beaten or jailed for his nationality, principles, or
opinions "cries out to high heaven", too.
At the crossroads: terror or dialogue?

In addition to governmental persecution of revisionists, other methods are also
resorted to against them: slander, exclusion from certain professions, and physical
intimidation, not excluding murder. The following are only a few examples among
many:

- In 1974, the French history teacher Francois Duprat was killed by a car bomb;

- On 4 July 1984, the independent Institute for Historical Review, active in California,
was burnt down;

- In the same year, the revisionist professor Prof. Hermann Grive was murdered in
Cologne;

- In 1989, Prof. Robert Faurisson was attacked and nearly beaten to death by a troop
of thugs calling themselves the "Fils de la mémoire juive" (Sons of Jewish Memory);

- In February 1996, the house of Prof. Renzo de Felice, the expert on fascism, was set
on fire.
But there are also signs which give rise to hope.

Honest intellectuals are not prepared to endure these attacks on the freedom of
expression and the freedom of research without protest.

Let us take, as an example, an appeal published by dozens of Italian scholars and
intellectuals on 3 March 1994 in the left-wing newspaper Il manifesto, as well as in
the June 1995 issue of the also left-wing publication La lente di Marx. The occasion
for the appeal was the prohibition in France of the French translation of The
Holocaust under the Scanner by Jürgen Graf. This is an excerpt from the appeal:

"An extremely alarming trend may be noted in Europe. This consists of
deciding historical questions before the courts, which in turn is equivalent to
an unacceptable interference of the justice system in politics and in the cultural
and academic life of this or any other country. This is often accompanied by a
hysterical, intellectually degrading campaign of media incitement. We believe
that historical research must be free from all restrictions; that full freedom of
thought must prevail -- in Europe just much as in Iran, in Germany just as
much as in Italy or France. The truth or falsehood of an idea can be proven

20

only by free and open scientific debate, not by the judgements of any court, or
by crude mass media hate campaigns intended to serve political objectives." 

The above are important statements which permit us to hope for a change in climate,
even if the number of intellectuals who dare to voice support for such elementary
principles in public, over their signature, is still too small to break through the wall of
silence.

We seek absolute freedom of research, expression, and publication for revisionist
historians and researchers, in the name of pluralism.

The harmonious cultural and political development of the European peoples can only
result from a dispassionate, open dialogue, in which all topics can be examined and all
viewpoints expressed without hinderance.

Revisionist researchers have published books, articles, interviews and documentation
in support of their arguments. If these were false, if revisionist methods were
erroneous, the result would have been devastating scientific rebuttal and expert
reports in refutation. That the enemies of revisionism can produce nothing more
effective against revisionism than physical and career assassination, police-state style
brutality and repression, and hysterical media hate campaigns, reinforces doubt as to
the correctness of the official version of history, lending credence to the suspicion that
the intent is to suppress the truth by any means, including violence.

CHAPTER I

THE ACCUSATION
Holocaust beliefs since 1945

For a half century, all of humanity knew, or thought it knew, that something uniquely
cruel took place during WW II, when Germany was fighting nearly every other major
country in the world.

Of course, it is true that atrocities were in fact committed during the war -- atrocities
which were unprecedented in their degree of unique cruelty. These atrocities were as
follows:

- The merciless, systematic terror bombing by the Western Allies of German and
Japanese cities. For the first time in the history of the civilized world, a belligerent
sought openly and without pretense to kill or maim the greatest possible number of
human beings, including the elderly, women and children, without any military
justification, and to destroy as many cultural monuments as possible. At Dresden, in
February 1945, when the war was all but over, 250,000 human beings were burned
alive or buried under the ruins of their houses in a single night (1). In August of the
same year, the USA dropped the atomic bombs on a Japan which was already
prepared to capitulate; 

- The mass murder of prisoners of war. In this unique atrocity, the Allies deliberately
allowed enormous numbers of prisoners of war to starve to death or to die of
exhaustion. It is recognized that 1.5 million German prisoners in the USSR died this
way. That the Western democracies cold-bloodedly permitted at least 800,000,
possibly more than a million, prisoners of war to die of hunger, was hushed up in
shame for decades, and first came to light through the research of the courageous
historian James Bacque (2);

- The greatest mass expulsion in human history, far exceeding anything in occurring
in past centuries. Between 1944 and 1949, approximately 15 million Germans were
driven from the homes in which where their ancestors had lived peacefully for many
generations, and were thrown onto the roads under conditions so inhumane that
Europe had not seen the like since the Thirty Year's War. These mass expulsions --
unique in their cruelty -- caused two million deaths from cold, exhaustion, starvation,
and deliberate massacres (3).

And yet -- all these horrors are hardly even noticed when there is talk of WW II
atrocities. When people talk of THE unique crime of the century -- a crime which
staggers the imagination -- we immediately sense that we are about to hear -- once
again -- of the German genocide of the Jews. 

22

There is only group with victim status: the Six Million

There is only one scene of any crime: Auschwitz

There is only one group of unique criminals: the Nazis

There is only one new, horrifying weapon: the "gas chambers".

These concepts are deeply anchored in the sub-consciousness of all of humanity; they
are drummed into our brains, on television, radio, and the press almost daily; they
appear in all the history books, at least in the Western world.

These four concepts -- Six Million, Auschwitz, Nazis, and Gas Chambers -- are the
concrete symbol of Absolute Evil in the minds of all humanity. And since every
decent person must naturally abhore Evil, innumerable numbers of decent people
therefore believe themselves morally compelled to hate, or at least to mistrust, the
nationality of people who were responsible for this unique crime -- the German
people, who were, at that time, almost 100% in favour of Hitler and the National
Socialist government, a fact which is beyond dispute. 

It appears no less logical that the victims of this absolute evil, the Jews, should, by the
same logic, be treated with the greatest possible sympathy and respect. Of course, this
includes the decency of refraining from asking for any proof of their unspeakable
suffering -- these people who are so deserving of our sympathy, who have suffered so
unspeakably. Every decent human being must listen with the greatest solemnity, the
profoundest grief, and without the slightest questioning, to all the details of the
monstrous tale of the assembly-line extermination of an entire people, then cry out in
righteous indignation: Never Again!

This assembly-line style extermination of human beings is commonly known as the
"Holocaust", from the Greek word for "sacrifice by fire" (holos = entirely; kaein = to
burn). Another term, which is less commonly used, but which is preferred by Jews, is
"Shoa" (Hebrew for "catastrophe").

The terms "Holocaust" and "Shoa" are an indictment of the German people and its
ruling government from 1933 to 1945, an indictment which, in terms of severity, has
never been made against any other people or government at any time in history. 
This indictment runs as follows:

In the midst of the 20th century, in the heart of Europe, the Germans, over a period of
three years (from the autumn of 1941 until the autumn of 1944), murdered five to six
million Jewish men, women, and children, almost unnoticed by the world. This
genocide is said to have been carried out based on a diabolical plan, carefully hatched
by the NS government. The majority of the victims -- from slightly less than three
million to more than five million, depending on which historian you believe (4) --
were killed with a previously unknown weapon, i.e., gas chambers (with gas vans
playing second fiddle). These mass murders are supposed to have taken place in six
extermination camps located on Polish territory, namely Auschwitz, Majdanek,

23

Sobibor, Treblinka, and Chelmno. The last mentioned camp used gas vans; the five
others used stationary gas chambers. Some of the bodies were burned in crematoria,
and some in the open, leaving not a rack behind. 

The Germans also liquidated between one and two million Jews in Russia, some of
them in gas vans, some by mass shooting (5). These massacres were committed
mostly by a special murder squad, the "Einsatzgruppen". 

After that come another half million or more Jews who are said to have died in
ghettos and work camps from mistreatment, malnutrition, and exhaustion. These are,
of course, included among the number of Jewish victims, almost Six Million -- (three
to five million or more gassed in the six death camps, plus one to two million shot in
Russia or murdered in gas vans; plus at least half a million more, from more or less
"natural causes") -- but who were not the result of a deliberate policy of
extermination; non-Jewish prisoners also died in great numbers for the same reasons.
Although these Jews cannot really be included as "Holocaust victims", they are
included among them for the sake of simplicity.

Morally, according to half a century of deafening media propaganda, the Holocaust
cannot be equated with any other atrocity in history. Stalin may have killed tens of
millions more than Hitler, but he never ordered an entire race wiped out without a
trace, without any examination of individual cases. The Germans didn't commit the
Holocaust because they considered the Jews a real or potential threat, but solely and
merely because the victims were Jews. The Germans, according to their accusers,
exterminated an entire people out of pure RACIAL HATRED. This racial hatred was
the reason why they killed not just the men, the fighting-fit, but the elderly, women
and children, including the newborn -- everyone who could be called a "Jew".
Compared to the "Holocaust", all other "Nazi crimes"
pale into insignificance!
a) "The three million non-Jewish Poles"

In addition to the genocide of the Jews, the Third Reich is accused of other gigantic
crimes.

For example, the claim is sometimes made in the media that the National Socialists
killed three million non-Jewish Poles. The unprejudiced observer will perhaps wonder
as to the circumstances under which so many Poles are said to have been killed.
Between the end of the short German-Polish war of September 1939 and the uprising
in the Warsaw Ghetto of 1944, which cost 180,000 victims, there were, of course,
attacks by the Resistance resulting in German reprisals, but there was no large-scale
conflict. There is no allegation of any mass-extermination of non-Jewish Poles in the
camps (6). How are the three million Poles supposed to have been killed? No Western
historian has ever made a serious attempt to establish the figure.

24

b) "The 500,000 gypsies"

Claims of the alleged 500,000 gypsies exterminated by the Germans are heard with
incomparably greater frequency than the claims of the three million non-Jewish Poles.
With regards to the extermination of the gypsies, Sebastien Haffner, in a book praised
to the skies by the media, states as follows (7):

"After 1941, the gypsies in the occupied territories were exterminated just as
systematically as the Jews who lived there. This mass murder has... hardly
ever been researched in detail since that time. People didn't talk about it when
it was going on; even today, people don't know much about it, except that it
took place. Documents are rare. Estimates of the number of victims range up
to 500,000."

According to the above, the genocide of the gypsies has hardly been ever researched
and the documents are "rare" (i.e., there aren't any), but we still know that the
extermination took place!

That this slaughter is the purest fantasy, has been proven by Udo Walendy in great
detail (8). The edition of Walendy's periodical Historische Tatsachen which discussed
this topic was prohibited, although the authorities could not point to a single sentence
in it which was not true. 

The alleged genocide of the gypsies has not penetrated the public consciousness as
deeply as the Jewish Holocaust. In monuments to the Nazi victims, the "Sinti und
Roma" -- the politically correct expression for the gypsies -- appear as "also rans" at
best. The gypsies themselves, of course, make energetic attempts to obtain
compensation from Bonn, but the sums obtained thus far have been monetarily
insignificant; this is doubtlessly due to the general lack of political and economic
clout possessed by gypsies.

In early 1997, the historical researchers threw in the towel. The Frankfurter
Rundschau of 13 February 1997 (p. 7), in particular, reports, with reference to the
historian Michael Zimmerman:

"Only after a thorough study of the documents was it discovered that the
number of murdered Sinti und Roma was significantly lower than the figure
current in the media: 50,000 instead of 500,000."

Please don't get the idea that the figure of 500,000 exterminated gypsies was invented
and peddled by lie-historians, lie-politicians, and the lie-media for fifty years, without
the slightest proof; instead, it arose spontaneously, a product of spontaneous
generation, after which it merely became "current in the media"! Regardless of this
admission from the historians themselves, the mythical 500,000 murdered gypsies
will no doubt continue to stalk the pages of the tabloids of the future as they did in the
past -- like ghosts. (That the new figure of 50,000 murdered Sinti und Roma
announced by "historical researchers" lacks even the slightest trace of proof, goes
without saying.)

25

c) Medical experiments on human beings

That there were medical experiments in the NS concentration camps, is undisputed,
and it is not our intention to justify them. But the Eastern and Western conquerors of
Germany have not the slightest right to become indignant about the matter, because
they who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

As shown in detail in the French newspaper Nouvelle Vision (9), the Soviets as well as
the Americans also carried out medical experiments on human beings, to an
incomparably greater degree than the National Socialists. The following are only three
examples:

- In Kazachstan in the USSR <date?>, the Soviets set off 446 atomic bombs. A total
of 800 villages were affected by the radioactive fallout. In many cases, the villagers
were forbidden to enter their houses at the time of the blast, allegedly due to the
danger of collapsing buildings; in reality, this was order was given to test the effects
of radioactivity on the victims. According to the Ministry of Health of Kazachstan,
the life expectancy in the affected areas is now 15 years lower than the national
average (10);

- Radioactive experiments were carried out on human beings in the USA as well. In
December 1993, the US authorities admitted that, in Tennessee in the 1940s, 700
pregnant women were prescribed radioactive pills, exposing the fetus to radioactive
radiation. Many children born to mothers involved in these experiments died
prematurely of cancer. Other radioactive experiments on human beings were
performed in Oregon in 1963 (11);

- In 1954, the first oral contraceptive developed in the USA was not tested on
American women, but on Puerto Ricans instead. Since animal experimentation had
already proven the pill's carcinogenic effects, researchers were well aware of the
dangers to the women involved, and therefore chose foreigners as test subjects (12).
Many more examples could be cited.
d) Euthanasia

Between 50,000 and 100,000 severely ill patients were killed in Germany after the
autumn of 1939 in the context of the euthanasia programme permitting the killing of
physically and psychically incurably ill. The euthanasia programme was stopped as
the result of protests from the Catholic Bishop Galen and the Evangelical Bishop
Wurm. 

Opinion differs as to the justification for euthanasia. Strict Christians -- particularly,
Fundamentalists -- reject it on the grounds that human life is to be considered holy
and sacrosanct. Other well-meaning people advocate euthanasia on the grounds that
incurably ill patients can only suffer, constituting a burden to themselves and their
loved ones, and that such a life is unworthy of human beings, a life no longer worth
living. We do not wish to take a position on the matter, but we wish to point out the
following:

26

arch-enemy of the new collective Messiah is therefore the "National Socialist regime
of the gas chambers and the Holocaust" -- the incorporation of Absolute Evil.

The ever-growing numbers of Holocaust memorials are quite obviously part of this
religious -- or rather pseudo-religious -- framework. "Doubting the Holocaust" (the
official version of the Holocaust, that is) has, in the meantime, been made punishable
by criminal prosecution in several countries, so that the picture is now complete: as a
religious dogma, the Holocaust must remain exempt from all scientific research and
be taken on faith (or else). 
The Swiss writer Arthur Vogt has described the "Holocaust religion" very
perceptively (14):

"First principle of faith: the Germans, as a race of criminals, have been cursed
with eternal shame... Even their descendants bear the mark of Cain, merely
because they are German... Second principle: There is only one salvation from
this terrible guilt, and that is: constant acknowledgement and remorse for the
crime. That is the reason for all the memorials and anniversaries... The
Holocaust religion recognizes good works: this is why the German
government must support the construction of Israel with billions of marks in
so-called 'reparations'. Personal atonement is performed by young Germans --
for example, through the activities of the 'Symbol of Reconciliation' -- through
taking care of the elderly in Israel or rebuilding crumbling walls at Auschwitz.

"So much money and effort have been invested in the Holocaust religion, and
continue to be invested in it, that if the factual basis for it were found to be
erroneous, it would be an incredible shock. Yet it is the basis of the founding
myth of Israel (and the BRD); it is the most important founding element in the
identity of the Jews today, both believers and non-believers. To point out the
existence of contradictions and errors in the so-called "evidence" is heresy...
The Holocaust religion also has its heretics, whom it persecutes mercilessly.
These are the revisionists, who dare to question the established version of
history. They are slandered and persecuted all over the world, under the
influence of powerful Zionist groups." 
Why nearly everybody believes in the Holocaust

No doubt the overwhelming majority of human beings, at least in the Western states,
believe in the official version of the Holocaust for reasons which at first glance appear
entirely plausible:

First, it seems entirely inconceivable that the media as a whole would be able to
spread a story like that for over 50 years unless there was some truth in the story, at
least very generally. The average citizen, of course, can still imagine that the numbers
of victims may have been exaggerated; but the notion that the gas chamber story,
taken as a whole, could be purely a product of fantasy, is far too monstrous to
consider. In addition, the correctness of the official version of the Holocaust appears
confirmed by three factors:

28

- the general disappearance of the Jews from several former German-ruled countries,
particularly Poland, where three million Jews are acknowledged to have lived in the
early 1930s, but where only a few tens of thousands live today, according to official
statistics. So if they weren't exterminated, is the question, where did they go?

We will only examine the demographic aspect of the question at the end of our study;
for the moment, we will consider only one single argument in reply: at the end of
WWII, there were approximately 12 million Germans in the areas east of the Oder
und Neisse. There are only between one and two million there today. Does that really
mean that 10 to 11 million Germans in the Eastern territories were exterminated? Of
course, the answer is no; some of them died during the violence of the expulsion, of
course, but most of them escaped to the West and survived the war. According to this
logic, then, the general disappearance of Polish Jewry is no proof that most of the
Jews in these territories were exterminated. They could have escaped or emigrated. 

- The alleged "innumerable eyewitness testimonies". "It may well be", people cry in
profound indignation, "that a few witnesses may have lied or exaggerated the horrors
of the Holocaust, but all of them? It's unthinkable!" This argument is based upon a
misunderstanding. There are far fewer witnesses to the extermination of the Jews in
the gas chambers than is commonly assumed. Anyone who consults the standard
literature will soon note that, basically, only a handful of witnesses are quoted:
Gerstein, Höss, Broad, Vrba, Mueller, Bendel, Lengyel, Tauber, Nyiszli, and a few
more. Since there are no forensic or documentary proofs for the mass killings in the
gas chambers -- as we shall soon show in detail -- the entire Holocaust allegation
basically stands or falls with the testimony of perhaps two dozen standard
eyewitnesses. The great majority of the alleged "innumerable witnesses" only heard of
the gas chambers second or third hand; 

- The photos and films. It is quite true that there are authentic photographs of piles of
corpses and living skeletons from German concentration camps; these photographs
were taken after their liberation by Allied troops. But they are no proof of any
systematic "extermination of the Jews", since even the official version of the story
does not dispute the fact that these dead and dying men were the victims of starvation
and epidemic disease during the chaotic last few months of the war. 

In addition to these authentic photos, there are a number of grossly falsified photos,
which have been distributed widely for decades. Udo Walendy has helped prove their
inauthenticity (15).

These manipulations in themselves, of course, are insufficient to prove that "there
wasn't any Holocaust"; but they should awaken our suspicion. Why must one have
recourse to such primitive trickery if great quantities of unimpeachable evidence are
available?

The argument "But I saw it myself in the movies and on television" can only be the
product of a very feeble mind. All the films of the genocide of the Jews, from
Holocaust to Shoa to Schindler's List, were produced long after the war; that they lack
any probative value is a matter of course. It's no accident that a miserable botch job
like Schindler's List was cooked up in black-and-white. This was done to create a
false impression of authenticity for historically naive cinema-goers.

as a "Holocaust Expert", in his three volume opus Die Vernichtung der europeaischen
Juden (Fischer Taschenbuch, 1990., p. 946), speaks of 2.7 million killed Jews in the
six death camps. The difference therefore amounts to 2.67 million people! Of course,
both the Holocaust big brains keep the sources of their statistical data shrouded in
silence.

CHAPTER II

THE FUNCTION OF THE HOLOCAUST IN THE
WORLD SINCE 1945

The political consequences of the Holocaust were, and are, enormous. Let us look at
the most important ones.
The founding of the State of Israel and the violation of Palestinian Rights

Without the Holocaust, the world would never have permitted the founding of the
state of Israel in 1948. The colonial era was coming to an end at that time. The British
had already decided to give India its independence, while dozens of Asian and
African territories were at that point striving to shake off European rule. While other
powers were rushing to grant independence to their colonies, the Jews in Palestine
were permitted to embark upon a colonial adventure par excellence, with the blessings
of both the West and the USSR. In so doing, they proceeded with ruthless brutality;
whole Arab villages were leveled. A great proportion of the Palestinians were driven
from their homeland. In 1967, Israel conquered additional Arab territories, the
inhabitants of which remain subject to all possible kinds of repression: deportations,
arrests -- in 1992, there were 15,000 Palestinians behind bars for political reasons! (1)
-- liquidation of political opposition by killer commandos, dynamiting of houses,
confiscations, endless repression (2). In addition, there is the systematic use of torture,
quite unashamedly declared legal by the Israeli Supreme Court on 15 November
1996. In so doing, the Jewish state adopted a legal position which remains unique in
the world. Israel is, of course, not the only state in the world to practise torture; but it
is the only nation which openly claims the right to do so. The right of Israeli military
personnel and policemen to torture Palestinian political detainees was justified by the
Supreme Court on security considerations: the need to gain "vitally important
information on planned attacks". So why did the Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie in Paris
have French resistance fighters tortured, if not on security grounds, and for the
purpose of gaining vital information on planned attacks on German soldiers?

Not only may Arabs be tortured and murdered in Israel with impunity -- they may
even be mocked posthumously. In 1993, two Israeli soldiers shot an unarmed
Palestinian during a street confrontation. At first, they were sentenced to one hour's
imprisonment each; this inhumanly heavy sentence was later commuted into a fine of
exactly one penny each (3).

Jewish terror rule in Palestine is not actually encouraged by world public opinion, but
it is tolerated. After all, the Jewish people, after suffering the Holocaust, needed a
homeland to protect them from a new genocide; what are the sufferings of the
Palestinians compared to those of the Jews under Hitler?

32

Without outside assistance, the state of Israel would never survive for as much a
single day. Its chief source of revenue continues to consist of financial injections from
the Americans, support from international Jewry, and German "reparations".
According to official sources, the BRD had already paid 85.4 billion marks to Israel
(and Jewish organizations) by 1992 (3); the actual figure must be considerably higher.
In addition there have been German deliveries in the form of commodities. Nahum
Goldman, long-time Chairman of the Jewish World Congress, wrote in his book The
Jewish Paradox (4):

"Without the German reparations payments that started coming during its first
ten years as a state, Israel would not have half of its present infrastructure: all
the trains in Israel are German, the ships are German, and the same goes for
electrical installations and a great deal of Israel's industry..."
Immunity of Jews from criticism

Before 1945, criticism of Jews was allowed. Today, that is no longer the case. Any
criticism of Jewry and Zionism, no matter how faint-hearted -- for example, relating
to the relatively heavy influence of Jews on the mass media of the Western world, or
the arrogance of the Central Jewish Council in Germany -- is immediately shouted
down with screams about Auschwitz and the Holocaust, with approximately the
following logic: anyone who criticizes Jews is anti-Semitic; Hitler was anti-Semitic;
Hitler killed Six million Jews; therefore, anyone who criticizes Jews wants to kill
another Six Million Jews! No matter how stupid and primitive this argument may be,
it has proven itself effective right down until the present day.
The effectiveness of the above is demonstrated by a single remarkable
example:

The most dangerous criminal organization in the world is regularly called the
"Russian mafia" by the mass media. This is a slander on the Russian people, because
the mob bosses are not Russian. In a book which the author was forced to call The
Russian Mafia -- if he had called it The Jewish Mafia he would have thrown in jail --
the German author Jürgen Roth (5) says: 

"The cocaine is owned by a drug ring made up overwhelmingly of Israeli
nationals -- some of them with Russian ancestry -- with support points in
Colombia, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Moskow and St. Petersburg...
Mosche Ben-Ari, Ricardo Fanchini, and Rachmiel Brandwain are considered
the most powerful bosses of the exile Russian mafia in Europe and the USA."

Although Roth had to censor many names in his book, it is clear from the context that
the bosses of the "Russian Mafia" are almost exclusively Jewish. The gangster bosses
Rachmiel Brandwain and Mosche Ben-Ari live in Antwerp or Munich. No Belgian or
German state prosecutor would ever dare have them arrested, since he would be
attacked by the media as a "neo-Nazi", a pitiless persecutor of "Holocaust survivors". 

33

Covering up Allied atrocities in WW II

As we have seen, very little is ever said about the horrendous Allied atrocities during
WWII. Terror bombings, starvation camps, and expulsions, may, of course, be
inhumane, people will say; but the Holocaust was an incomparably greater crime!
Anyone guilty of such a crime -- i.e., the Germans -- has no right to complain of harsh
treatment by the Allied victors. 
Creating contempt for the German people

Since 1945, the German people have been branded with a mark of shame for an
unspeakable crime which makes healthy self-respect impossible for Germans, and
prevents any German government from representing German interests in any way. A
truly independent German government committed to defending the interests of the
German people has not existed since 1945. The DDR was ruled by the satraps of the
Eastern occupying powers for decades, while the BRD continues to be ruled by
vassals of the Western occupying powers. 

Self-respect and patriotism are held in contempt in Germany today; self-criticism and
self-hatred are the prevailing trend. Leading intellectuals, the most well-known of
whom is Günter Grass, have expressly opposed the reunification with reference to
Auschwitz (6).

Germany's entry into the Europe of Maastricht, i.e., into a supranational government
ruled by an anonymous bureaucracy, is advocated tooth and nail by all the parties
represented in the German Bundestag. After the destruction of Germany as a state, the
next objective of the ruling classes is the destruction of the German people itself. This
is to be achieved through artificially lowering the domestic birth rate by means of
laws hostile to the family, by facilitating abortion, as well as by encouraging the mass
immigration of people from foreign cultures, most recently from Black Africa.
Rendering impossible any objective discussion of National Socialism

An objective discussion of National Socialism, with its strengths and weaknesses, is
simply impossible today. Any mention of the achievements and positive aspects of the
National Socialist system -- for example, the elimination of unemployment and the
economic upswing which set in soon after Hitler's rise to power -- is immediately
howled down with screams about Auschwitz.
Creating contempt for all forms of nationalism except Jewish nationalism

While the Auschwitz truncheon was first used only on the Germans, it is now
directed, to an increasingly greater extent, against all other white nationalities. The
argument in this regard runs approximately as follows:

- The world sat by and did nothing while Hitler slaughtered the Jews by millions.
Neither the Western powers nor the Soviets nor the International Red Cross nor the
Vatican denounced the genocide nor attempted to rescue the Jews, although they

34

knew just what the Nazis were doing. Therefore, the white race as a whole is jointly
guilty for the Holocaust; 

- since the extermination of the Jews was permitted without resistance AT THAT
TIME, we must repent for our sins and grant residence to all asylum seekers from
foreign cultures TODAY. If we were to send them back to their own countries, they
might suffer persecution, torture, and death; we would therefore be guilty again!

- All forms of nationalism (except, of course, Jewish nationalism) are therefore highly
dangerous, since it all too easily leads to racism, and therefore involves the danger of
a new Holocaust. A "nationalist", of course, is anyone who resists the mass
immigration of coloureds and Moslems to Europe and North America. 

In practice, the Holocaust means that white Christian nations no longer have the right
to their own identity. They have a moral duty to allow themselves to be overrun and
displaced. "What, you're not against immigration, are you? You must be a NAZI!"

CHAPTER III

THE REVISIONISTS  
The claims of the revisionists

Everyone today knows that there is a group of people who radically question the
prevalent image of the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich. These people call
themselves "Revisionists", or, more precisely, "Holocaust Revisionists". The media
bespatters them with idiotic smear words like "Auschwitz Deniers", and lumps them
together with "Right-wing Radicals".

If you were to ask the average German what the revisionists actually say, and what
they their statements are based on, he would be unable to answer. This is quite
inevitable because of strict media control; the media have strict instructions not to
permit any expression or discussion of revisionist arguments. Thus, many people are
given the completely erroneous impression that the revisionists deny Jewish suffering
during the Second World War. In reality, no one denies that a considerable number of
Jews under German rule were interned in concentration camps, or that large numbers
of deportees died of epidemics and exhaustion. Nor does anyone deny the reality of
shootings of Jews, particularly, on the Eastern Front. 
Revisionists dispute the following three points in particular:

1) That there was a plan for the physical liquidation of the Jews;

2) The existence of "extermination camps" with gas chambers for mass killing of
human beings;

3) That five to six million Jews died in German occupied Europe.

It is also not true that revisionism is a "Right-wing radical" movement, since it is not
an ideology. It is, as Prof. Robert Faurisson likes to say, a method. Revisionists
examine the official picture of the "Holocaust" using the same methods which are
generally recognized as valid for other historical periods.

Of course, it is also true that most revisionists are politically to the Right, and that
some of them are acknowledged National Socialists, but this has no influence on the
correctness or incorrectness of their arguments. Whether the discoverer of a new
planet is conservative, liberal, socialist, or Communist, is irrelevant to the history of
science. What counts is the discovery of a new planet! 

Furthermore, some of the best-known revisionists, for example, the Frenchmen Serge
Thion and Pierre Guillaume, are on the Left.

36

A former concentration camp inmate as revisionist pioneer:

Paul Rassinier

The founder of revisionism also came from the left. Paul Rassinier, a French
resistance fighter, a Socialist and detainee at Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau
concentration camps. In his book Le Mensonge d'Ulysse (the Lies of Ulysses), which
appeared in 1950, Rassinier denounced the endlessly exaggerated tales told by former
inmates of German camps. Over the course of years of research, Rassinier finally
came to the conclusion that gassings had either not taken place at all, or had taken
place only as the act of a few lunatics. In Le Drame des Juifs européens (1964),
Rassinier wrote a few years before his death (1):

"For 15 years, every time that I heard of a witness anywhere, no matter where
in the portion of Europe that was not occupied by the Soviets, who claimed to
have himself been present at gas exterminations, I immediately went to him to
get his testimony. With documentation in hand, I would ask him so many
precise and detailed questions that soon it became apparent that he could not
answer except by lying. Often his lies became so transparent, even to himself,
that he ended his testimony by declaring that he had not seen it himself, but
that one of his good friends, who had died in the camps and whose good faith
he could not doubt, had told him about it. I covered thousands and thousands
of kilometers throughout Europe in this way."

Since nobody else wanted to print Rassinier's works, he finally had them published by
a publishing house closely associated with the "Extreme Right" (Les Sept Couleurs).
The hypocrites who reproach him for having them published them there, would no
doubt have preferred to see them never published at all. 
Media vilification of the revisionists

If we observe the campaign against the revisionists carried on by the media clique, we
immediately note a series of remarkable features:

First, revisionist literature is flatly stated to have no credibility at all. Thus, a Swiss
women named Klara Obermueller wrote as follows in an anti-revisionist series (2):

"If somebody came along today and reported the calling of a scientific
congress to examine the question of whether the sun revolves around the earth
or the earth around the sun, he would either be ridiculed or declared non-
compos mentis. It wouldn't occur to anyone to discuss the matter seriously... A
similar thing occurs with the propagandists of the so-called 'Auschwitz Lie' or
'Holocaust Lie': their statements that there was no extermination of the Jews, is
so obviously false that it is basically unworthy of serious scientific
discussion." 

According to the above, the revisionists are purely and simply crazy. So why
persecute them? Why not just ignore them? Do people take you to court if you say the
earth doesn't revolve around the sun?

37

Peculiarly, these same lunatics appear to be highly dangerous to the "Western
democracies"; they even appear to threaten the very basis of that society in an
extremely serious way. A hack journalist named Patrick Bahners, writing in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on 15 August 1994 in connection with the sentencing
of Günter Deckert, revisionist and Chairman of the NPD, by the German legal system,
said:

"If Deckert's attitude on the Holocaust were correct, the Bundesrepublik would
be based on a lie. Every Presidential speech, every minute of silence, every
history book would be a lie. Therefore, anyone who denies the mass murder of
the Jews disputes the legitimacy of the Bundesrepublik."

How can a handful of lunatics endanger the legitimacy of the Bundesrepublik? No,
the journalists must finally recognize that there is something askew in this argument:
either the revisionists are lunatics, in which case they aren't dangerous, and the
journalists can spare the energy wasted on all their hysterical hate campaigns; or they
are highly dangerous to the ruling system of the West, in which case they are not
lunatics! You can't have it both ways; the media must decide one or the other.
State prosecutors and judges as watch dogs for the official version of history

The matter becomes even more suspicious when we learn that "denying" the
Holocaust (a more correct term would be "disputing the genocide of the Jews") are
liable for criminal prosecution in several European countries (3). The model for this
impudent interference of the criminal justice system in the freedom of research is
perhaps the French "Loi Gayssot", passed in France in 1990 (4), which provides for
criminal penalties for anyone disputing any matter decided by the International
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. The sentence of the Nuremberg victor's tribunal has
therefore been declared infallible in France; it has been canonized, as it were. Even
Stalin did nothing of the kind.

In the BRD, revisionists are prosecuted according to paragraph 130 of the Criminal
Code ("Incitement to Racial Hatred") Paragraph 131 ("Slandering the Dead") and
paragraph 189 ("Slandering the Dead"). The first paragraph was considerably
broadened on 28 October 1994, and now calls for prison terms of up to five years for
anyone who approves, denies, or trivializes any criminal act alleged to have been
committed by the National Socialists. Since that date, there have been thousands of
trials of revisionists in Germany just since 28 October 1994.

In Austria, the so-called "Prohibition Law" against National Socialist activities has
served as the Hexenhammer in suppressing the freedom of research on the Holocaust
since 1992. 

In France, Holocaust revisionists are liable for imprisonment for one year; in the
BRD, five years; and in Austria, ten years. In practice, however, the penalties are not
that severe. Not yet!

38

In the book Hat Karl der Grosse Je Gelebt? [Was There Ever Really a Charlemagne?]
(9), the Munich scholar Herbert Illig disputes the existence of Charlemagne, and
declares the whole period from 614 to 911 A.D. to be a product of fantasy. This entire
period of 297 years, together with Charlemagne and all the other historical figures of
the same period, are alleged to have been invented by subsequent falsifiers of history
for political reasons. The absence of any structures built during the three so-called
"centuries of the Dark Ages" is the logical result of the non-existence of this period of
history: an analysis of architectural monuments is said to show that the few structures
alleged to have been built during this period, were, in reality, built later. 

Due to an insufficient familiarity with the history of the early Middle Ages on our
part, we shall refrain from expressing an opinion as to the value of Illig's book. If his
arguments should prove to be sheer fantasy, they will be ignored. If they should prove
correct, the author will be sooner or later have to be recognized as a genius. There is
another, third possibility, i.e., that Charlemagne actually lived, but never performed
many of the heroic deeds attributed to him. In this case, Illig's work would still have a
seminal influence upon the writing of history by pointing out its shortcomings --
particularly, an overly blind trust in the reliability of the sources employed. 

One thing is for certain: Illig will never be hauled into court because of his book. No
judge will ever jail him for "Denying the Genocide of the Pagans", although, by
disputing Charlemagne's existence, he is, in effect, denying the mass murder of Saxon
pagans attributed to him.

In short, Charlemagne, or any other historical subject for that matter, may be
researched with complete freedom and the broadest possible latitude. The same
statement is true of every other period of history -- except the Second World War,
and, in particular, the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich. This fact alone ought to
make every thinking person deeply suspicious: "truths" that require protection by
criminal law usually turn out to be lies. 
The bankruptcy of the official version of history

"Historians have only interpreted the Holocaust. The thing is to research it."

Ulrich Herbert, German historian, in the Frankfurter Rundschau of 13 February 1997,
p. 7.

The Lausanne daily Nouveau Quotidien on 2 and 3 September 1996, published two
articles by the historian Jacques Baynac (an anti-revisionist). The first bore the
promising title "How the Historians Turned the Job of Silencing the Revisionists Over
to the Courts". That means: the governmental persecution of revisionists described
above is the logical consequence of the inability of orthodox historians to come up
with any counter-argument with which to answer the revisionists. While revisionists
RESEARCH the Holocaust, historians are simply content to INTERPRET it. The
facts are irrelevant. 

An excellent example of this may be seen in Gunnar Heinsohn's book Warum
Auschwitz? [Why Auschwitz?] (10). At the very beginning of the book, Heinsohn
mentions an alleged Himmler order issued on 25 November 1944 on the disassembly

40

of the gas chambers at Auschwitz. This Himmler order has haunted Holocaust
literature for decades. No source for it is ever given, since no such order has ever been
found. We don't know which historian invented this lie, since the Holocaust scribblers
simply copy all their nonsense back and forth. 

With mock seriousness, Heinsohn lists "Two Hundred Forty Recognized Theories on
Auschwitz", and comments upon them at the end of the book ("Theory no. 20:
Auschwitz as the Punishment of the Jews for Worshipping Female Deities". Theory
no. 33: "Auschwitz as Preparation for the Restoration of Israel So That All Surviving
Jews May Gather Together and Fulfill the Conditions for the Coming of the End Days
Through the Christian God", etc., etc). He finally comes to the conclusion that Hitler
wished to exterminate the Jews because he hoped that, "with the disappearance of the
Jews of flesh and blood, the law of the sanctity of life, as well as the Commandments
of love and righteousness, would be lost. He wished to create the right to kill, in order
to create strategic advantages for the Germans in the conquering of living space"
(cover blurb).

In the Middle Ages, scholars engaged in complex disputes as to how many angels
could dance on the head of a pin. The existence of angels was never cast in doubt, and
never proven; it was simply assumed as an axiom. Holocaust writers act in the same
way. The existence of an "assembly line mass extermination" is assumed as an axiom,
without any regard to the need for proof. They then proceed to speculate in a vacuum,
far removed from historical realities, on the psychological and sociological factors
which led to the assembly-line killing of Jews in the third Reich", etc., etc., just as
medieval scholars speculated upon the sex of the number of angels dancing on the
pinhead.

Revisionists ask very different questions, such as: What do the documents show about
Auschwitz? How reliable are the eyewitnesses? What was the capacity of the
crematoria? How quickly does Zyklon B evaporate, and at which temperatures? Did
the "gas chambers" possess an efficient ventilation system? How did the Zyklon B
enter the "gas chambers"? Are there any traces of cyanides in the mortar samples from
the "gas chambers"?

In other words, on the one hand, are reason and logic; on the other, stands primitive
superstition. There is no possible compromise between the two opposing parties. That
is why the historians, to borrow a phrase from Baynac, have turned the job of
silencing the revisionists over to the courts.

CHAPTER IV

WHAT IF THE REVISIONISTS ARE RIGHT?

Let's just assume that the official "truth" on the Holocaust is a lie, and that the
revisionists are right. The result would be a recognition that there was indeed a
PERSECUTION OF JEWS under the Third Reich, but no deliberate
EXTERMINATION OF JEWS; that the gas chambers and gas vans were an invention
of atrocity propaganda, just like the children with their hands chopped off during the
First World War; that not five to six million, but less than one million Jews died in the
areas under German control; that of these Jewish victims, only a small percentage
were killed, while the rest died chiefly of epidemics and deprivation in the camps and
ghettos. What would be the result of this revelation? They are easy to imagine:

- A worldwide wave of anti-Jewish feeling;

- A wave of nationalism in Germany: politicians, intellectuals, historians and
journalists would be held up to contempt by their own people;

- The renewed possibility of an objective, factual discussion of National Socialism.
We might, as a result, even be able to borrow some of their constructive measures in
dealing with the problems of unemployment, the declining birth rate, and wide-spread
drug addiction;

- Nationalism, in the sense of a true representation of national interests and a defence
of the national identity, would regain its legitimacy. The Germans could again say,
without shame, "Germany for the Germans!" The French could again say, without
shame, "France for the French!" The psychological and political factors which have
enabled mass invasion from the Third World, would disappear;

- The rulers and manipulators of public opinion would be discredited, not only in
Germany, but throughout the West. People would ask themselves why this whole
charade had to be propped up with censorship and brute force for so many decades,
and in whose interests. Trust in the ruling cliques would be seriously shaken -- at a
time of serious social and economic crisis to which the "democracies" have no
answer.

We see that a general realization that Holocaust is a lie would have devastating
implications, not only for international Jewry and the state of Israel, but for the
political and intellectual ruling cliques of the entire Western world -- particularly in
Germany! The result would be a re-evaluation of all values, to borrow a term from
Friedrich Nietzsche. Everything would be different. Everything would have to re-
examined.

43

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Prior to 1941: The Reich's Government demands Jewish emigration

The Jewish policies of the NSDAP, from the very outset, aimed at continually
reducing Jewish influence in Germany and at encouraging as many German Jews to
emigrate as possible. This initial objective was pursued from 1933 onwards by means
of numerous laws and decrees which limited the number of Jews among lawyers,
doctors, etc. by means of quotas, and which restricted the economic and political
rights of the Jews. This continued, until at least 1938, practically without violence;
until the Night of Broken Glass (1), not one Jew was ever sent to a camp just for
being a Jew. If Jews were sent to camps, it was for militant anti-governmental
political activity or for common crime (2).

To encourage Jewish emigration, the National Socialists worked closely with Zionist
organizations, which were interested in encouraging the emigration to Palestine of as
many Jews as possible. This National Socialist-Zionist cooperation has been fully
documented by several authors (3), and to our knowledge is not disputed by anyone.

Since the British mandate over Palestine effectively prevented Jewish immigration of
Jews to that country, Jewish emigration took place very slowly; the majority of
German Jews preferred other immigration countries, particularly the USA. But the
USA also placed obstacles in the path of Jewish immigration (4).

By 1941, however, the great majority of German and Austrian Jews had gone into
exile.

After 1941: Mass deportation to camps and ghettos

In 1941, Jewish emigration was officially prohibited. This prohibition was not,
however, consistently implemented in practice. The deportation of Jews to work
camps and ghettos began in 1941. This occurred for two reasons in particular: first,
the Germans needed their labour, since a majority of German men were at the front.
Secondly, the Jews indisputably represented a security risk. The Jew Arno Lustiger, a
former resistance fighter and survivor of several camps, has proudly boasted that Jews
represented 15% of all active resistance, yet the percentage of Jews in the French
population at that time was no more than 1%. The Communist "Red Orchestra"
espionage organization, which did caused Germany enormous harm, was made up
mostly of Jews (6).

Other states have interned suspicious minorities with far less justification: thus, in the
USA, all persons of Japanese ancestry, even those with American passports, were
interned in camps (7). This was done even though there was never a single case of
espionage or subversion by Japanese-Americans, as admitted by Ronald Reagan
decades later.

The Jews in individual German-ruled countries suffered from the deportation to a
widely varying extent. Disproportionately hard-hit were the Dutch Jews, of whom
more than two thirds were deported. On the other hand, according to Serge Klarsfeld,
only 75,721 Jews were deported from France. This corresponds to approximately one

44

fifth of the total Jewish population at that time (8); of these, a great many were
deported, not on the grounds of their religion or race, but for being resistance fighters
or criminals. This often led to deportation for non-Jews as well.
The death rate in the camps and its causes

The death rate in the camps was extremely high most of the time. A majority of these
fatalities were due to disease. The most dangerous of these was epidemic typhus, a
disease carried by lice. The insecticide Zyklon B, together with other products, was
used to combat lice.

In Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp -- the term "extermination camp" is not
the correct expression -- epidemic typhus was especially dangerous in late summer
and autumn. The epidemic reached its climax between 7-11 September 1942, with an
average of 375 inmate deaths a day. By the first half of January 1943, the Germans
succeeded in reducing the death rate to 107 a day; but by mid-May, it rose again to
298 fatalities a day (9).

In the Western camps, the worst period was during the final phase of the war, when
mass deaths from epidemic disease claimed tens of thousands of victims. At the same
time, the German infrastructure totally collapsed as a result of Allied terror bombing,
leading to shortages in the camps of medications, food, housing, and everything else.
In his memoires, Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to break the sound barrier, describes
how his squadron had orders to shoot at everything that moved (10):

"Germany could not so easily be divided into innocent civilians and guilty
soldiers. After all, the farmer on his potato patch was feeding German
soldiers."

This means that the resulting starvation was deliberately created by the Allies through
their cruel and illegal mass terror bombings; these same Allies then hypocritically set
themselves up as judges over the defeated enemy for failing to supply enough food to
concentration camp inmates!

Particularly horrible conditions, including thousands of unburied bodies and living
skeletons, were found in April 1945 by the British at Bergen-Belsen. These
photographs are kept constantly before the public eye in ceaseless propaganda
campaigns to this very today. What are the facts? 

Belsen Camp commander Josef Kramer repeatedly and vehemently protested to his
superiors that new inmates were constantly being sent to the hopelessly overcrowded
camp of Belsen; his protests went unheard. Instead of simply abandoning the inmates
in the Eastern camps to the Soviets, the National Socialists evacuated them to the
West and allocated them among the Western camps to prevent their manpower from
falling into the hands of the Soviets. Since the railways had been almost entirely
destroyed, the evacuation process often lasted weeks; many inmates died en route
from the bitter cold winter weather. In the camps which were compelled to receive the
remainder, conditions worsened by the day.

45

Kramer's protests went unheard. In Belsen, typhus and dysentery spread everywhere,
and food shortages became acute.

What should Kramer have done? Release the inmates to spread epidemics among the
civilian population? Who would have fed them then if he had? Should he have
released dangerous criminals -- who were imprisoned together with other inmates
interned for political and racial reasons -- to prey upon the population? Kramer
decided to wait it out. He could have attempted to escape to South America with
money stolen from the prisoners, but he trusted to British "fair play". He was to pay
dearly for his naiveté. Branded as "The Beast of Belsen" in the Allied press, he was
executed after a legal farce (11).

Disproportionately great numbers of victims died in the last months of the war in the
other camps as well. At Dachau, a total of 15,389 people died between January and
April 1945, i.e., more deaths in 3 months than in 5 years of war -- 12,060 inmate
deaths from 1940 to 1944. Another 2,000 died even after the liberation of Dachau by
the Americans (12). 

Since the Holocaust, i.e., the planned extermination of the Jews, is supposed to have
stopped in the autumn of 1944 (13), the mass deaths in the camps in 1945 prove
nothing with regards to any "mass extermination". The mass deaths depicted in
photographs were the tragic, but inevitable, result of the German collapse, and had
nothing to do with any planned genocide -- quite in contrast to the Allied bombing
war against the German (and Japanese) civilian population. The destruction of one
small city like Pforzheim alone, shortly before the end of the war, caused 17,000
deaths (14). More people died in Pforzheim in one February evening in 1945 -- most
of them burnt alive -- than in Dachau in 9 years, from late 1933 to late 1944.

Of course, Jews died outside the concentration camps as well. According to one
Jewish source, a total of 43,411 people died in the ghetto of Lodz between the autumn
of 1939 and the autumn of 1944. There were 26,950 recorded fatalities in the Warsaw
ghetto even before the outbreak of the uprising (spring 1943) (15). Some of these
people, of course, would have died of natural causes (for example, old age) in any
case. Other Jews died in combat or during the evacuation. 
Mass shootings on the Eastern front

Finally, it would never occur to any revisionist to dispute that many Jews were shot
on the Eastern front. But what exactly is meant by the word "many"? 20,000? 50,000?
100,000? We do not know, due to the absence of reliable source material. (The
Einsatzgruppen reports, which are supposed to prove that millions of murders were
committed on the Eastern front, will be discussed below.) These shootings were the
inevitable reaction to the murderous, illegal partisan war unleashed by the Soviets
behind the German lines. The Germans reacted exactly like the French in Algeria, the
Americans in Viet Nam, and the Soviets in Afghanistan: with ruthless brutality,
causing many deaths among the civilian population. Of course, partisans were
executed (which is permitted by international law); of course, there were also frequent
shootings of hostages, involving many more Jews than non-Jews. Many other Jews
were killed as "suspected Bolsheviks", even if they were neither partisans nor
hostages -- exactly as the Americans, decades later, bombarded "Viet-Cong suspected

46

zones" with napalm, slaughtering innumerable harmless civilians with bestial cruelty
in the process. 

In the USSR as elsewhere, the Jewish percentage of armed partisans far exceeded
their percentage share of the population; this fact is stressed with pride in Jewish
literature (16). The reason why Jews in the German occupied areas of the Soviet
Union suffered so many deaths was partisan warfare, not racial murder.

To sum up: Jews did indeed suffer severely during the Second World War and did
indeed endure heavy losses. But people suffer and die in every war. The 250,000
people burnt alive or crushed under the rubble of Dresden in a single night suffered
too; so did the hundreds of thousands of starving Russians in Stalingrad, or the
180,000 Poles who died in the crushing of the uprising of the Warsaw ghetto.
Concentration camp inmates were not the only people who suffered; German and
Russian soldiers at the front suffered, too. 

Is Jewish suffering during WWII "unique"? Are the percentage losses of the Jews far
higher than those of the other peoples especially hard hit by the war? In order to
answer these questions, we must now turn to the proof for the alleged "Holocaust".

CHAPTER V

OH, WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE...

If we make a careful examination of the statements and numbers offered by the
orthodox historians over the decades, it becomes obvious that there is hopeless
confusion, and that the official version of the Holocaust has been constantly evolving.
This is reminiscent of the manner in which the facts are constantly rewritten by Party
officials in George Orwell's novel of the century 1984. The following are a few
remarkable examples:
The number of Auschwitz victims

Let us begin with the Auschwitz death statistics (1). The following are the deaths
in the largest of the concentration camps:

- 9 million people, according to the film Nuit et Brouillard (2);

- 8 million people, according to the report of the French Office for the Investigation
of War Crimes (3);

- 7 million people, according to Jewish former inmate Raphael Feigelsohn (4);

- 6 million people, according to Jewish publisher Tibere Kremer (5);

- 5 million people, including 4.5 Jews, according to Le Monde of 20 April 1978;

- 4 million people, according to the Nuremberg Tribunal (6);

- 3.5 million gassing victims, of whom 95% were Jews, and "many" who died of
other causes, according to the Jewish film director Claude Lanzmann (7);

- 3 million people, including 2.5 gassing victims, by 1 December 1943 alone,
according to the confession of the first Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss (8);

- 2.5 million people, according to the Jewish ex-inmate Rudolf Vrba (9);

- 2 to 3 million murdered Jews as well as thousands of non-Jews according to the
confession of SS Man Pery Broad (10);

- 1.5 to 3.5 million gassed Jews just between April 1942 and April 1944, according
to the Israeli "Holocaust expert" Yehuda Bauer in 1982 (11);

- 2 million gassed Jews according to Lucy Dawidowicz (12);

49

- 1.6 million people, including 1,352,980 Jews, according to Yehuda Bauer in 1989
(13);

- 1.5 million people, according to the Polish government in 1995 (14);

- Approximately 1.25 million people, including 1 million Jews, according to Raul
Hilberg (15);

- 1 to 1.5 million people, according to Jean-Claude Pressac in 1989 (16);

- 800,000 to 900,000 people, according to the Jewish historian Gerald Reitlinger (17);

- 775,000 to 800,000 people, including 630,000 gassed Jews, according to Jean-
Claude Pressac in 1993 (18);

- 630,000 to 710,000 people, including 470,000 to 550,000 Jews, according to Jean-
Claude Pressac in 1994 (19).

It will be noted that the number of victims is constantly being revised downwards. But
the total number of 5 to 6 million Holocaust victims never changes! You can subtract
hundreds of thousands, even millions, from the 5 to 6 million, and the final total is
always the same! That's Holocaust mathematics!

To which document, to what discovery of mass graves do the exterminationists refer
in their wildly divergent numbers of victims? None! All the figures given above are
pure fantasy, without any reference to documented realities at Auschwitz. Revisionist
estimates run to approximately 150,000 victims (according to Robert Faurisson) or
160,000 to 170,000 victims (according to Carlo Mattogno) -- without any gassings.
This still amounts to 40% of all inmates registered at Auschwitz. Epidemic diseases,
chiefly typhus, were the main cause of the terribly high death toll at Auschwitz.
Soap of Jewish fat

In the Nuremberg Trial, it was claimed by the Soviets that the Germans had
manufactured fat out of murder victims (20). This childish horror story has haunted
the world press for decades, like the Loch Ness monster. It has been decked out with
poetic mastery by Simon Wiesenthal (21).

"During the last weeks of March (1946), the Romanian press reported an
unusual piece of news: in the small Romanian city of Folticini, 20 boxes of
soap were buried in the Jewish cemetery with full ceremony and complete
funeral rites. This soap had been found recently in a former German army
depot. On the boxes were the initials RIF 'pure Jewish fat'. These boxes were
destined for the Waffen SS. The wrapping paper revealed with completely
cynical objectivity that this soap was manufactured from Jewish bodies.
Surprisingly, the thorough Germans forgot to describe whether the soap was
produced from children, girls, men or elderly persons... After 1942, people in
the General Gouvernement knew quite well what the RIF meant. The civilized
world may not believe the joy with which the Nazis and their women in the
General Gouvernement thought of this soap. In each piece of soap they say a

50

reports received may be assumed that several hundred thousands of Jews have
been exterminated in Treblinka."

g) Suffocation by pumping all the air out of the death chambers

This method was described by the Soviet-Jewish writer Vassily Grossman at
Treblinka (28).

h) Quicklime trains

At Belzec the Jews were killed according to eyewitness Jan Karski as follows (29):

"The floors of the car had been covered with a thick, white powder. It was
quicklime. Quicklime is simply unslaked lime or calcium oxide that has been
dehydrated. Anyone who has seen cement being mixed knows what occurs
when water is poured on lime. The mixture bubbles and steams as the powder
combines with the water, generating a large amount of heat. Here the lime
served a double purpose in the Nazi economy of brutality. The moist flesh
coming in contact with the lime is rapidly dehydrated and burned. The
occupants of the cars would be literally burned to death before long, the flesh
eaten from their bones. Thus, the Jews would "die in agony"", fulfilling the
promise Himmler had issued "in accord with the will of the Fuehrer", in
Warsaw, in 1942. Secondly, the lime would prevent decomposing bodies from
spreading disease. It was efficient and inexpensive - a perfectly chosen agent
for their purposes. 

It took three hours to fill up the entire train by repetitions of this procedure. It
was twilight when the forty six (I counted them) cars were packed. From one
end to the other, the train, with its quivering cargo of flesh, seemed to throb,
vibrate, rock, and jump as if bewitched. There would be a strangely uniform
momentary lull and then, again, the train would begin to moan and sob, wail,
and how. Inside the camp a few score dead bodies remained and a few in the
final throes of death. German policemen walked around at leisure with
smoking guns, pumping bullets into anything that by single motion betrayed
an excess of vitality. Soon, not a single one was left alive. In the now quiet
camp the only sounds were the inhuman screams that were echoes from the
moving train. Then these, too, ceased. All that was now left was the stench of
excrement and rotting straw and a queer, sickening, acidulous odour which, I
thought, may have come from the quantities of blood that had been let, and
with which the ground was stained. As I listened to the dwindling outcries
from the train, I thought of the destination toward which it was speeding. My
informants had minutes described the entire journey. The train would travel
about eighty miles and finally come to a halt in an empty, barren field. Then
nothing at all would happen. The train would stand stock-still, patiently
waiting until death had penetrated into every corner of its interior. This would
take from two to four days."

This Jan Karski was, by the way, appointed to chair a committee for "Scientific
Research on the Holocaust" along with Elie Wiesel.

53

i) Chambers with submergible, electrified flooring. Stefan Szende, a Doctor of
Philosophy, describes the extermination of the Jews at Belzec quite differently (30):

"The death factory comprises an area approximately 7 km in diameter... The
trains filled with Jews entered a tunnel into the underground rooms of the
execution factory... The naked Jews were brought into gigantic halls. Several
thousand people at one time could fit into these halls. The halls had no floor.
The floor was of metal and was submergible. The floors of these halls, with
their thousands of Jews, sank into a basin of water which lay beneath -- but
only far enough so that the people on the metal plate were not entirely under
water. When all the Jews on the metal plate were in the water up to over their
hips, electrical current was sent through the water. After a few moments, all
the Jews, thousands at once, were dead. Then they raised the metal plate out of
the water. On it lay the corpses of the murder victims. Another shock of
electrical current was sent through, and the metal plate became a crematory
oven, white hot, until all the bodies were burnt to ashes... Each individual train
brought three to five thousand, sometimes more, Jews. There were days on
which the lines to Belzec supplied twenty or more trains. Modern technology
triumphed in the Nazi system. The problem of how to execute millions of
people, was solved."

j) Blood poisoning

This method, described on 7 February 1943 in the New York Times ("... gas chambers
and blood poisoning stations which were erected in the rural regions..."), appears to
have gone into oblivion as soon as it was invented. 

k) Drowning

According to the Israeli Holocaust specialist Yehuda Bauer, the Rumanians in Odessa
murdered 144,000 Soviet Jews, mostly by drowning (31). The same method of
extermination was testified to by the underground press agent for the Warsaw ghetto,
as well as for Babi Yar (32):

"Not a single Jew remains in Kiev, since the Germans have thrown the entire
Jewish population of Kiev into the Dnieper."

l) Chlorine gas, assembly-line shootings, boiling water, acids

Mass murders with chlorine gas, as well as assembly line shootings were reported for
Treblinka (33). Reports of massacres with acids and boiling water round make a
complete assortment of killing methods (34).

The exterminationists no longer wish to be reminded of all these stories today. At that
time, however, they were considered to be "proven fact" -- "proven" by the
testimonies of "eyewitnesses" -- just like the gas chambers, which have been placed a
under legal protection order in several "free democracies".

54

The location of the gas chambers

With the steam chambers, acid baths, electrical chambers, submergible platforms,
quicklime trains, etc., banished to the Memory Hole and replaced by "gas chambers",
the historians then engaged in a decades-long dispute on the location of those very
same "gas chambers", as follows:

Phase I (from 1946): almost every camp had one or more gas chambers:

In the early years after the war, it was considered to be a "proven fact" that almost
every concentration camp had one or more gas chambers for the purpose of
exterminating Jews. At the Nuremberg trial, the British chief prosecutor Sir Hartley
Shawcross said (35):

"Murder conducted like some mass-production in the gas chambers and the
ovens of Auschwitz, Dachau, Treblinka, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Maidenek
and Oranienburg."

Also at the Nuremberg Trial, a Czech camp doctor at Dachau named Dr. Franz Blaha
testified as follows (36):

"The gas chamber was completed in 1944, and I was called by Dr. Rascher to
examine the first victims. Of the 8-9 persons, who were in the chamber there
were three still alive, and the remainder appeared to be dead. Their eyes were
red, and their faces were swollen."

A similar description of the gas chambers at Buchenwald was given by an unusually
trustworthy "eyewitness", Charles Hauter (37):

"The rapid execution of the extermination required a special type of
industrialization. The gas chambers reflected these requirements in the great
variety of different facilities. Many of these were cleverly built and supported
by pillars of porous material, inside of which the gas formed and then
penetrated the walls. Others were simpler in construction, but all looked
magnificent. It was easy to see that the architects had taken pleasure in
building them; they had taken great pains in planning them, allowing all their
aesthetic abilities to come into play. These were the only parts of the camp
which were lovingly built."

The "confessions" of the accused also contributed to reinforcing general belief in the
existence of the gas chambers -- for example, in the Ravensbrück camp, where camp
doctor Percy Treite made the following confession before the court (38):

"I remember that many female Poles were killed by shots in the back of the
neck. Because this shooting quite often was inaccurate, and it was therefore
feared that living persons would be cremated along with the dead, I took care
to devise a decent sort of killing. This was the gas chambers."

55

The inconceivable was an everyday occurrence at the horror castle of Hartheim near
Linz, where between one and one and a half million people were gassed, at least
according to the confession of camp commandant Franz Ziereis (39):

"SS Gruppenführer Glücks had given the order to declare weak prisoners
mentally ill and to kill them with gas at a large installation. Approximately 1
to 1.5 million were killed there. This place is called Hartheim, and is located
10 km from Linz in the direction of Passau."
Phase II (from August 1960): No gas chambers in the Old Reich

On 19 August 1960, Martin Broszat, at that time a collaborator and later the Director
of the Institute für Zeitgeschichte at Munich, said the following in a letter to the editor
to Die Zeit:

"Neither in Dachau nor in Bergen-Belsen nor in Buchenwald were Jews or
other inmates gassed... The mass extermination of Jews through gas began in
1941-42, and took place exclusively in a few places selected and equipped
with the help of corresponding technical installations, above all in occupied
Polish territory (but nowhere in the Old Reich): in Auschwitz, in Sobibor am
Bug, in Treblinka, Chelmno, and Belzec."

Interestingly, Majdanek is missing from Broszat's list of camps equipped with gas
chambers; the two words "above all" are presumably intended to evade answering the
question of whether or not gas chambers ever existed at Mauthausen (Austria) and
Struthof-Natzweiler (Alsace). With regards to camps in the "Old Reich" (i.e., the
German Reich with the 1937 borders), Broszat established: no gassings occurred
there.
Phase III (since 1983): Return of the gas chambers in the West

The existence of the gas chambers of Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, Stutthof, etc. had
a blessed resurrection in 1983 in the anthology Nationalsozialistische Massentötungen
durch Giftgas by Kogon/Langbein/Rückerl (40). No "mass gassings" are ever said to
have occurred there, however; just small-scale "test gassings" with a total of a few
thousand victims. This was a compromise between the Broszat line and the Holocaust
fundamentalists. The authors only spared the buckets of tears when it came to the
existence of the gas chambers of Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald.
The gas chambers existed -- oh no, they didn't -- oh yes, they did.

The most famous "Nazi gas chamber" is the morgue of the Krema I in the Stammlager
of Auschwitz. Millions of tourists have visited this room. Both Jews and Soviet
prisoners of war are supposed to have been murdered here with Zyklon B in 1941-42.
That there is no documentary proof of this crime, but only a few eyewitness
testimonies, is admitted quite unashamedly by Jean-Claude Pressac, the pharmacist
and amateur historian hailed by the exterminationists as the "World's Leading Expert
on Auschwitz" (41). The two principal eyewitnesses to the gassings in these Kremas
are the first commandant of the camp, Rudolf Höss (42), and an SS man, Perry Broad
(43).

56

The judgement of the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial (1963-1965) states as follows
(44):

"In the beginning -- from October 1941 -- smaller individual groups of Jews
were gassed... in the little (old) crematorium. Defendant Stark participated in
still other gassings of Jewish inmates in May and June 1942. These gassings
also took place in the small crematorium."

In 1968, the French Jewess Olga Wormser-Migot wrote a book on the National
Socialist concentration camps (45) which is considered standard today; in it, she
states:

"Auschwitz I... which was to remain the model camp and simultaneously the
administrative centre -- had no gas chamber."

How easy it is for a Jewish historian, with one single sentence, to wipe out all the
"eyewitness testimonies" relating to gassings in this room, as well as the
corresponding text of the judgement in the Frankfurt Trial! On 8 January 1979, Hans-
Dietrich Genscher, at that time German Minister of Foreign Affairs, wrote the
following to a certain Herr Stuparek who had doubted the existence of the gas
chambers of Auschwitz (46):

"I, too, know that no gas chambers existed in the Auschwitz camp."

The gas chambers, Genscher then continued, were located in Birkenau, west of the
main camp.

The gas chambers of the main camp nevertheless continue to live on in Holocaust
literature. That they give the court historians a few headaches, of course, is quite
obvious: the trio Kogon/Langbein/Rückerl pass over them in a single sentence in their
"standard" book on the gas chambers (47).

In 1991, the British historian David Irving was sentenced to a 30,000 DM fine after a
trial in Munich for calling the gas chamber in Krema I a "fake". Notwithstanding the
confessions of Olga Wormser-Migot and Foreign Minister Genscher, the Holocaust
liars simply could not do without this most famous of all "gas chambers", because
otherwise nobody would believe their stories about the gas chambers at Birkenau.

Anybody who doubts the absolute correctness of the version of the Holocaust which
has come down to us today, even in view of the incredible mixture of errors and
confusion, and despite the incredibility of the eyewitness reports on gassings at
Birkenau and Treblinka, would do best to keep his doubts to himself; since if he lives
in "free democratic" Germany, "free democratic" Austria, "free democratic France",
or "free democratic" Switzerland, he is already standing with one foot in jail. The
ideal model of conduct in today's "free democracies" is the three monkeys: see
nothing, say nothing, hear nothing.

CHAPTER VI

IS TODAY'S VERSION OF THE HOLOCAUST ANY
MORE BELIEVABLE THAN THOSE OF THE PAST?
The claims made by the standard literature

Today's version of the Holocaust (early 1997) runs as follows:

a) The extermination programme:

The objective of the National Socialists was the complete physical annihilation of all
Jews located in their territories.

b) Implementation of the extermination programme

The Germans transported millions of Jews from all over Europe to Poland for the
purpose of gassing them in "extermination camps" there.

c) The secrecy of the extermination programme

To camouflage their crimes, the Germans issued their murder orders orally or in
camouflaged language only. In any case, all existing documents on the gas chambers
and extermination of the Jews were destroyed just before the end of the war. That is
why there are no clear documentary proofs of any Holocaust.

d) The six "extermination camps"
Auschwitz and Majdanek were a combination of "extermination" and work camps.
All arriving Jews were selected: those who could work were used for compulsory
labour, while those who could not, were sent to the gas chamber. By contrast,
Chelmno, Sobibor, Belzec and Treblinka were pure "killing factories", in which every
Jew was sent to the gas chambers unregistered; the only exceptions consisted of a
handful of "working Jews" needed for the extermination process itself.

e) The murder weapon

The murder weapon at Auschwitz and Majdanek was the insecticide Zyklon B, in
addition to which carbon monoxide was also used at Majdanek. Diesel exhaust gases
were used for mass murder in the other four "extermination camps".

61

you are going to be stupid enough to commit your "extermination" right out in the
open, where everybody can see it?

Again, the story is simply not believable.

Point d):

Innumerable documents show clearly how desperately the National Socialists needed
manpower throughout the entire war. According to the Holocaust scholars, this is
supposed to have been the reason why the Jews at Auschwitz and Majdanek were
only gassed if they couldn't work, while those who could work were utilized by the
hundreds of thousands. But then why did the Germans gas many hundreds of
thousands of able-bodied people in the "pure" extermination camps?

If the "unfit" were gassed at Auschwitz without being registered, then there shouldn't
be any evidence of the registration of elderly people. In reality, very many elderly
people were registered in the camp. Fig. I shows the death certificates of Josef
Hoffmann, a Jew, born on 12 August 1852, and Ernestine Hochfelder, a Jewess, born
on 11 February 1870. They were certainly too old to work; so why weren't they both
to the gas chamber unregistered, immediately after selection on the ramp?

Of course, new born babies weren't able to work either; were they murdered right
after birth? Not at all; the Polish midwife Stanaslawa Lesczczynska, in particular,
reports (5):

"I delivered under these [disgusting] circumstances over 3,000 children.
Despite the terrible filth, the vermin, the rats, despite the infectious diseases
and indescribable horrors, something extraordinary, unbelievable, but true
occurred. One day, the camp doctor ordered me to prepare a report on
infections in maternity cases, as well as the death rate among mothers and
infants. I replied that there had never been any deaths, either among mothers
or newborn. The camp doctor looked at me with astonishment, and told me
they couldn't have boasted better results even in the best German hospitals."

The conscientious midwife would no doubt hardly have failed to mention it if the
infants delivered by her at the cost of so-much dedication and self-sacrifice had been
immediately murdered after birth. Many Jews who were to become famous in later
life, like Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank, and Roman Polanski lived as children in
Auschwitz, without any risk of being gassed. 

Point e):

The following possibilities would have been available as rational killing methods for
mass extermination:

- shooting (a la Stalin);

- Starvation (a la Eisenhower);

64

- Use of wood-gas generator vehicles, used in the hundreds of thousands during
WWII (not to be confused with the mythical "gas vans"!). These vehicles used only
wood as fuel. Their generator gases contained up to 40% carbon monoxide, which is
quickly fatal. The use of these gas autos for mass murder has never even been claimed
(6).

Instead, the Germans selected the most idiotic murder weapon that one can possibly
think of:

- Diesel exhaust gas contains 16% oxygen, which is enough to breathe and survive on,
but only very small quantities of CO. To kill people with them is extremely difficult.
An ordinary gasoline motor -- not to speak of the above mentioned gas autos -- would
be a hundred times more efficient as a murder weapon. It's not by chance that only
Diesel engines are used in the Channel Tunnel between France and England; Diesel
exhaust gases would not endanger the passengers in the event of an accident;

- The insecticide Zyklon B, the properties of which will be discussed later, contains
hydrocyanic acid. Zyklon B was urgently needed to combat lice, which carried
typhus. Zyklon B was always in short supply, and very expensive. As a murder
weapon, it is very unsuitable. One can, of course, kill people with it, but it is very
difficult to ventilate, clings to surfaces, and would cause insurmountable problems in
elimination.

If the Holocaust story is true, the perpetrators must have been technical geniuses,
because they succeeded in murdering millions of people in record time, and in
destroying the bodies without a trace. These same technical geniuses are then
supposed to have used the most unlikely murder weapons that one could imagine!

Again: not believable.

Point f):

According to the Holocaust horror peddlers, the Germans gassed 600,000 Jews in
Belzec in 10 months, and 900,000 in Treblinka in 13 months. Belzec was then closed
in December 1942, and Treblinka was closed in September 1943. Why didn't they
keep these death camps running? They could have killed another 2.5 million Jews by
the end of 1944, and the installation of gas chambers at Birkenau would have been
completely unnecessary.

It should be noted that, according to Höss, Himmler had declared the existing "death
camps in the East" in the summer of 1941 were "inefficient". But these same
"extermination camps" didn't even exist yet, since they were only put into operation,
according to Holocaust scholars, in December 1941.

This proves that Rudolf Höss's confession was not voluntarily given, and lacks all
probative value.

Let us, however, stick with Auschwitz. This "largest of all extermination camps"
contained hospitals, a swimming pool, a sauna, sports installations, theatrical events,
and concerts. 

65

- the main camp crematorium, the morgue of which is supposed to have been used as
a "gas chamber", was located 15 m from a hospital (no. 7 in Fig. II). There was also a
swimming pool, which one can still visit today (no. 17 in Fig. II); 

- Birkenau, the alleged centre of the extermination of the Jews, also had hospitals (no.
16 in Fig. III), as well as a sauna (no. 10 in Fig. III. There was also a delousing station
in this sauna, operated with hot air);

- The existence of delousing chambers operated with Zyklon B (no. 20 in Fig. II) is
not disputed by anyone. In many reports of former inmates, one can read that new
arrivals were immediately subjected to a delousing procedure; 

- the existence of orchestras, not only in Auschwitz but in all other "extermination
camps", is confirmed by a source which is certainly above suspicion, namely, the
Enzyklopaedie des Holocaust (7);

- The Jewish professor of medicine and Auschwitz inmate Marc Klein reports (8):

"To the noisy applause of the onlookers, football, basketball, and water ball
was played on Sunday afternoon: Man needs very little to distract him from
impending danger! The SS administration permitted the inmates regular
amusement, even on weekday evenings. A cinema offered Nazi news and
sentimental films; a cabaret offered shows which were often attended by SS
men. Finally, there was a very respectable orchestra, initially made up of
Polish musicians, but which gradually came to consist of top quality musicians
of all nationalities, most of whom were Jews."

Hospitals, saunas, and delousing chambers are intended to protect health. They
therefore serve to prolong life; they are most unlikely to shorten life. What are they
doing in an "extermination camp"? What are swimming pools, football games,
cabarets and orchestras, consisting mostly of Jews, doing in a camp the chief purpose
of which was to exterminate the Jews of Europe?

Not to put too fine a point on it, the story is simply not believable.

Point g):

Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka, where approximately 1.85 million Jews were gassed
according to the exterminationists, are known to have had no crematoria. The bodies
are said to have been burned in the open and disappeared without a trace. Why didn't
they use the same methods of open-air cremation at Auschwitz if they were so
successful -- instead of building expensive crematoria? 

Not to put too fine a point on it, the story is simply not believable.

Our study could end here, since it is already clear that the court historians and media
hacks simply dish up stories the abysmal idiocy of which is an impudent insult to
every thinking person.

66

We shall nevertheless examine the evidence for the Holocaust and the gas chambers
in the following chapters. In so doing, we will heed the principle, which is generally
recognized in jurisprudence, that there is a hierarchy of proof. This means that
physical evidence must be considered the most reliable, and eyewitness testimony the
least reliable; while documentary evidence occupies a position midway between the
other two methods of proof (9).

CHAPTER VII

PHYSICAL PROOFS OF THE HOLOCAUST

The following appeared in a mid-1993 Reuters report:

Innocent Man Released After Nine Years in Prison

Jessup, 28 June 1993 (ap). - "A man originally sentenced to death, commuted
to three life sentences, is to be released in Maryland USA. 32 year-old Kirk
Bloodworth, who spent almost nine years in prison, including two years on
Death Row, was convicted in 1984 in Rosedale, Maryland, of the rape-murder
of a nine-year old girl. Examination of a previously undiscovered sperm
sample on the victim's underwear -- during which the experts utilized the DNS
procedure, the so-called 'genetic fingerprint' -- revealed that Bloodworth could
not have been guilty at all... Bloodworth was convicted and sentenced to death
on the testimony of five witnesses, who alleged to have seen him with the
nine-year old victim shortly before the crime."

A case like this shows clearly what every jurist knows, namely, that physical proof is
greatly superior to eyewitness testimony, since witnesses may lie or err in good faith.

For this reason, an autopsy of the corpse, as well as an expert report on the weapon,
are ordered in any normal non-political murder trial, regardless of whether or not
there are any witnesses available. If the eyewitnesses contradict the results of the
forensic tests, the forensic tests are conclusive. Eyewitness testimony has the lowest
value of all types of proof (1).

What is true in an ordinary murder case, must apply to an even greater extent when
hundreds of thousands or millions of victims are involved.

Accordingly, the "gas chambers" should have been forensically tested right after the
war. Furthermore, technical experts should have calculated whether or not the
innumerable victims of the "extermination camps" could really have been disposed of
in the crematoria concerned (if crematoria existed in the particular camps in question).

In the "pure extermination camps" of Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, and Chelmno, the
bodies are alleged to have been buried first, then dug up, then burned in the open. If
there had ever been any huge mass graves for the several hundred thousand bodies in
each case, they could have been located very easily, even years after the war; areas
where bodies are supposed to have been buried could have been easily located either
by digging or by air-photographs. The latter method was regularly practiced in 1996
by air reconnaissance flights in Bosnia.

68

Nothing of the kind was done by Germany's accusers after WWII. Scientific testing of
the "gas chambers", crematoria, and alleged mass graves was simply neglected. Not
one single autopsy of a dead concentration inmate has ever showed "gassing" as the
cause of death.

On the part of the exterminationists, only two forensic examinations were undertaken
to prove the mass murders; in both cases, the presentation of proof was a basic failure:

- According to the Cracow report of 1945 (1) cyanide residues were discovered
among other things in the hair of former female Auschwitz inmates. Now, not only
can this report no longer be duplicated -- in contrast to the revisionist expert reports,
which can be reproduced at any time -- but it would lack any probative value, even if
it were true. Human hair was used for industrial purposes in the Third Reich, as in
other states (for example for stuffing mattresses). In this case, it was logical to delouse
the hair afterwards with Zyklon B. Assuming that there were mass gassings, it would
be nonsensical to cut the hair off later, since Zyklon B clings stubbornly to surfaces,
and would have been a source of danger to the workers involved in cutting off the
hair. This would have to have been done before the murders!

- The Polish Hydroscope Report shows that great quantities of human remains were
found in the earth in the vicinity of Auschwitz (3). We have no reason to doubt the
correctness of this report, since many thousands of Auschwitz inmates were certainly
burned in the open, particularly during the second half of 1942; at that time, typhus
was raging and causing over 300 deaths a day. The only existing crematorium, that of
the main camp, could not handle more than 100 bodies a day, and was often out of
operation. If human remains were found, this only proves that very many Auschwitz
inmates died, which is not disputed by any revisionist. It does not prove mass
extermination.

Thus, we face the remarkable fact that technical proof of the "greatest crime in
history" was never produced by the accusers of Germany. Such proofs were only
produced later, by the revisionists. As we will see, they disprove the Holocaust thesis
on all decisive points.

CHAPTER VIII

DOCUMENTARY PROOFS OF THE HOLOCAUST 

If a systematic extermination of several million persons had really taken place during
WW II, it would have required meticulous organization, involving thousands of
persons. An operation on this scale could not possibly take place without a great
number of written instructions. Nothing could be done in a strictly hierarchical
bureaucratic state like the Third Reich without written orders.

We would therefore expect a flood of documentary proof on the planning and
execution of the extermination of the Jews. In the meantime, the orthodox historians
continue to act as if this were really the case. Thus, Raul Hilberg's "standard work" on
the Holocaust begins with the following introduction (1):

"Raul Hilberg has spent his life collecting and adding to the material for his
book. He is considered the best expert on the source documents which, for the
most part, originate from the criminals themselves. As thorough as they were,
the Germans filed away the evidence of their crimes a hundred thousand times
over, with letter heads and service stamps... proving their responsibility for the
killings."

This statement is pure fantasy, as we shall soon see.
Raul Hilberg, Danuta Czech, Jean-Claude Pressac: Three experts reach into
their bag of tricks

a) Raul Hilberg scrapes the bottom of the barrel

A curious reader dipping into Hilberg's standard work entitled The Destruction of the
European Jews is condemned to wait 927 pages before stumbling upon the
"extermination camps", and another 100 pages until the "extermination operations"
are described. This means that Hilberg uses 1,027 pages before arriving at the topic
which gives the book its title! Just a few pages further along, on page 1,046, he starts
writing about the "Evacuation of the Extermination Centres and the End of the
Extermination Process". This means that, out of a total of 1,308 pages of text, fewer
than 20 are dedicated to the "extermination procedure"! And these fewer than 20
pages are a miserable flop.

The "hundreds of thousands" of documentary proofs of German mass murder
promised in the introduction are simply never produced; Hilberg's only proof of mass
murders in the extermination camps are the eyewitnesses, the confessions of war

70

criminals, and the judgements of trials (in turn based exclusively on eyewitnesses and
confessions by the accused). Among Hilberg's favourite witnesses are Kurt Gerstein
and Filip Mueller. Although we will discuss the eyewitnesses only in the following
chapter, a few remarks on these star eyewitnesses are called for here:

Kurt Gerstein, an SS sanitation officer, who allegedly died by suicide in July 1945 in
French imprisonment, is the star witness for the extermination of the Jews in Belzec.
As shown by the French researcher Henri Roques, there are no less than six versions
of his "confession", each of which deviates considerably from the others (2).
According to Gerstein, 20 or 25 million people were gassed (according to which
confession you consult). At Belzec, according to Gerstein, 700-800 persons were
crushed into a gas chamber 25m2, i.e., 28 to 32 persons per square metre. Gerstein
also claims to have seen piles of clothing and shoes 35 to 40 metres high!

Filip Mueller's book Sonderbehandlung (3) (English title Eyewitness Auschwitz) is
cited no less than sixteen times by Hilberg in the 20 relevant pages. On p. 207 ff of his
disgusting botch job, Mueller describes the method of open-air cremation utilized in
disposing of the bodies of the many thousands of Hungarian Jews gassed and burned
every day in the early summer of 1944: three layers of bodies were laid in deep
ditches and burnt using wood for fuel. Fat from the bodies was then supposedly used
for extra fuel. The fat is alleged to have flowed down during the cremation process
into small grooves especially provided and dug in the earth, leading to a container.
The members of the Sonderkommando are supposed to have scooped up the burning
fat from the containers and poured it over the bodies to make them burn better!

Of course, this is complete nonsense. Due to the deficient oxygen supply, the bodies
in the ditches would merely be charred, and would not burn (4). The fat from the
bodies would, of course be the first thing to be burned, and if, nevertheless, it did run
into the grooves, it would have ignited at the first spark (5).

On p. 74, Mueller offers us the following tale:

"From time to time, The SS doctors came into the crematorium... Before the
executions, both doctors, like cattle traders, felt the thighs and buttocks of the
still-living men and women, in order to select the 'best parts'. After the
shooting, the victims were placed on the table. Then the doctors cut pieces off
still-warm flesh from the thighs and buttocks and threw it into waiting
buckets. The muscles of the recently-shot were still moving and throwing
convulsions, causing the buckets to jump about."

That is Filip Mueller, Raul Hilberg's favourite witness, cited 16 times in the crucial 20
pages dealing with the mass extermination!

Hilberg cannot conceal the fact that there are no documents relating to any plan to
exterminate the Jews. He finds a profound explanation: the Nazi leaders gave their
orders in "an incredible meeting of minds" (6)!

b) How Danuta Czech's Kalendarium came to her conclusions as to the numbers
of the gassed

71

Danuta Czech's work Kalendarium der Ereignisse im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-
Birkenau (1939-1945) is considered by orthodox historians to be by far the most
important work on the history of Auschwitz camp. The second edition, which
appeared in 1989, differs very considerably from the edition published in 1960. In her
monumental opus, Danuta Czech indicates, for every individual day in the history of
the camp, the most important events, giving, for the most part, the exact numbers of
persons gassed, for every day on which gassings are said to have taken place. What is
the basis for Danuta Czech's allegations? German documents? Of course not!

In many cases, her sources consist of testimonies given after the war (eyewitness
reports or confessions during trials), but for the most part they consist of secret notes
kept by prisoners working in the offices of the Gestapo, giving information on inmate
transports arriving at Auschwitz: date of arrival, first and last registration numbers of
the newly arriving inmates, and, in many cases, the origin of the transports. The notes
were smuggled out of the camp in 1944. There is nothing in them about gassings.
Danuta Czech then compares the information appearing in the notes with reference to
the numerical strength of every convoy, and compares them to the data appearing in
the documents of the German police offices responsible for the transports. Great
discrepancies are then noted; only some of the Jews deported, according to the
German files, appear in the secret notes of the inmates! All the "missing" Jews are
simply listed by Danuta Czech as having been "gassed"! At the same time, it is known
that some deported persons never arrived at Auschwitz, for the simple reason that they
were unloaded 100 km further west -- at Cosel -- and housed in local work camps.
This has been shown by the French Jew Serge Klarsfeld in his Mémorial de la
Déportation des Juifs de France (7). In a few cases, D. Czech acknowledges the
selection of Jews for local camps in the second edition of her book. Consistently
ignored b y her, however, is the fact that many of the "gassed" Jews suddenly
reappeared later, far East of Auschwitz, in the Baltic states and White Russia. This
means that the reason why these Jews were not registered at Auschwitz was because
Auschwitz only served as a transit camp for them. Her "gassing" figures are therefore
pure fantasy, and her method can only be termed a shameless falsification of
evidence. In this regard, consult Enrique Aynat's work Estudios sobre el
'Holocausto' (8).

c) Jean-Claude Pressac's "criminal traces"

In September 1983, a book by the French pharmacist Jean-Claude Pressac was hailed
by the world's "free press" with deafening fanfare as the rebuttal of the revisionists. It
is called Les crématoires d'Auschwitz, and also appeared in German from Piper
Verlag under the title of Die Krematorien von Auschwitz. Pressac had already
published a gigantic book under the title Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the
Gas Chambers, which is, however, hardly mentioned by the mass media.

In the introduction to his second book, Pressac repeatedly promises that he will not
base his book on eyewitness testimonies, but will instead rely solely upon documents.
During the reading, the astonished reader then notes that, every time the author begins
to speak of concrete "gassing" operations, he cites an eyewitness as his source! As
"definitive proof" of the existence of the execution gas chambers, he cites a document
which contains not a single word relating to the gassing of human beings; it is simply

72

"Before the buildings of the Auschwitz offices blazed piles of documents,
while the structures utilized in committing the greatest mass murder in the
history of mankind were blown up..."

Broad was released as early as 1947 (15) although the British could have shot or
hanged him without further ado, since every German, especially every SS man, was
free game at that time. Quite obviously, early release was his reward for services
rendered, services which continue to comprise a major contribution to solidifying the
image of the "Final Solution", at that time still in the unformed, fluid state.

It is simply quite untrue that piles of documents blazed at Auschwitz, since huge
numbers of documents are available precisely from this largest of all "extermination
camps". The Moscow Special Archives contain approximately 90,000 pages of
documents from the Construction Administration, i.e., precisely the same organization
which was responsible for the construction of the crematorium and therefore,
according to the Holocaust legend, for building the gas chambers allegedly located in
the crematoria. 

During two rather lengthy stays in Moscow (July-August as well as November-
December 1995), we examined all 90,000 pages of documents together with the
Italian researcher Carlo Mattogno (Mattogno's American publisher Russel Granata
was also present during the first visit). Some of these documents, perhaps 20,000
pages, consist of copies made by the Germans of other pages; approximately 70,000
other pages are primary documents. Not one single document provides any proof of
mass gassings of human beings. This in no way surprised us, since if such a document
had existed, it would long ago have been triumphantly displayed to the world. Two
prominent representatives of the extermination school, Jean-Claude Pressac and the
British Jew Gerald Fleming, have both worked in this archive and examined part of
the documentation. Neither Pressac nor Fleming found the long-sought documentary
proof for the homicidal gas chambers.

The objection that the Germans could have sifted out the incriminating documents just
in time and destroyed them, is extremely naive. Just imagine such a situation:

In autumn 1994, when the decision is made to evacuate Auschwitz before the
approaching Red Army, Commandant Richard Baer issues the following order to his
subordinates: "Sort out all the documents which prove the gassing of the Jews, and
burn them, but leave all other documents lying around for the Russians". Could
anything be more naive? They could have burnt the entire archive of documents in a
few hours! QUITE OBVIOUSLY, THE REASON WHY THE GERMANS LEFT
ALL THE DOCUMENTS BEHIND WAS BECAUSE IT NEVER OCCURRED TO
THEM THAT THE DOCUMENTS COULD INCRIMINATE THEM IN ANY
WAY!

The same applies to the camp Majdanek, for which mountains of documents are also
available.

75

Conjuring up "proof"

Since the defenders of the orthodox Holocaust image could not possibly be content
themselves with "eyewitness testimony" alone, they were compelled to come up with
a number of documents which allegedly prove the gas chamber genocide. In doing so,
two possibilities were open to them: 

- manufacture forgeries;

- Deliberately distort authentic documents.

The second method was resorted to with much greater frequency. Carlo Mattogno
describes this as follows (16):

"The Nuremberg inquisitors created... an absurd method of interpretation
which made it possible to interpret any meaning they wished into any
document, but which isn't there. The point of departure for this method of
interpretation was the unproven and arbitrary axiom that the NS authorities
used a sort of code language, even in the most secret documents, the key to
which the Nuremberg inquisitors naturally pretended to have discovered. The
systematic false interpretation of documents which, in themselves, had nothing
to do with extermination, then followed as a matter of course.

"The best-known example of this type of false interpretation is represented by
the interpretation of the word 'Final Solution' which became a synonym for the
'extermination of the Jews'...

"In truth and in fact, there is not the slightest proof that 'Final Solution' ever
referred to any alleged 'Hitler plan for the extermination of the European
Jews'. There are even documents which prove the contrary. These documents
relate to the policy followed by the National Socialists with regards to Jewish
emigration..."

Let us consider below some of the "documentary proofs" for the Holocaust repeatedly
trundled out for us in the standard literature. We will divide these into two groups:
obvious forgeries, documents of questionable authenticity, and, finally, undoubtedly
genuine, but deliberately falsely interpreted documents. 
Forged documents
In contrast to the attitude of some revisionists, only relatively few of the documents
which are presented as proofs of the extermination of the Jews are obvious
falsifications. These include three remarkable examples, which we will examine as
follows:

a) The Wannsee Protocol

For decades, it was claimed that the extermination of the Jews was decided at the
Wannsee Conference in Berlin of 20 January 1942. Anyone who reads the (alleged)
protocol of that conference (17), will discover that it contains no mention of any

76

physical extermination of the Jews, nothing about gas chambers, and speaks only of
"evacuation" and "resettlement". The orthodox historians, as usual, offer the lazy
excuse that these are code words for extermination.

Even if this document were genuine, it would in no way constitute proof for any
extermination of the Jews, but rather for their deportation, which is not disputed by
any revisionist. But the Wannsee Protocol is a rather crude forgery, as shown by
several revisionist researchers, in greatest detail by Johannes P. Ney (18). The forgery
is proven by absurdities of content (for example grossly exaggerated numbers of Jews
living in Europe), as well as formal errors.

30 copies of the Wannsee Protocol are supposed to have been prepared. Of these 30
copies, only 1, the 16th, has survived, quite remarkably, in several different versions,
in which SS is written sometimes in runes, and sometimes in normal script.

Even the exterminationists are distancing themselves further and further from the
Wannsee protocol. In the Canadian Jewish News of 20 January 1992, Israeli
Holocaust Specialist Yehuda Bauer, calls the belief that the conference arrived at any
decision to exterminate the Jews, a "silly story". According to him, the whole caste of
historians just blabbered a silly story for decades, like parrots. The "silly story" also
appears in all schoolbooks.

b) The document of 28 June 1943 on the capacity of the crematoria of Auschwitz

To prove the powerful capacity of the Auschwitz crematoria, the exterminationists
tirelessly quote a letter allegedly prepared on 28 June 1943 by the leader of the
Auschwitz Central Construction Administration, Bischoff, through his subordinate SS
Brigadeführer Kammler (19), according to which the daily capacity of the crematoria
of Auschwitz and Birkenau are as follows:

- crematory I: 340 persons [sic!] each 

- crematoria II and III: 1440 persons each

- crematoria IV and V: 768 persons each.

Note the remarkably un-German-sounding use of the word "persons" in this
connection. Much more revealing, however, is the content.

As may be seen from the standard literature, for example the work of Raul Hilberg
(20), the main crematorium at Auschwitz I possessed 6 muffles; crematoria II and III
of Birkenau possessed 15 muffles each; and the Birkenau Kremas IV and V possessed
8 muffles each. This makes a total of 52 muffles. In today's modern crematoria, the
burning of one corpse per muffle takes one to one and a half hours (see illustration
1V, the reproduction of a letter from Freiburg crematorium). If one can cremate 4,756
bodies per day in 52 muffles, that would be 95 bodies per day per muffle, which
would mean that the crematoria of Auschwitz were around four times faster than
modern crematoria! This means that either all the laws of thermodynamics were
suspended, or that the letter is a fabrication (presumably from a Communist forgery

77

factory). Irrefutable proof of the falsity of this document has been provided by Carlo
Mattogno (21).
F. Documents of dubious authenticity

a) The Goebbels diary passages of 27 March 1942

For 27 March 1942, there is an entry in the diaries of NS Propaganda Minister Josef
Goebbels (22), according to which a "rather barbarous procedure, not to be described
in detail here" was being applied to the Jews. 60% of the Jews were liquidated, while
only 40% could be used for work.

Revisionist researchers are not unanimous on the authenticity of the Goebbels Diaries.
Stäglich considers them forged in whole or in part, while Irving and Faurisson believe
in their authenticity. We refrain from expressing an opinion and refer to the entry of 7
March 1942, in which Goebbels states that the Jews must first be concentrated in the
East; eventually, they could be sent to an island, perhaps Madagascar. This entry is in
crass contradiction to the entry made twenty days later. Goebbels, an irreconcilable
enemy of the Jews, may, in writing his diaries, have risen to an even more intense
hatred of them, and in doing so, may have brought fantasies to paper which were in no
way reconcilable with his earlier notes. This passage is therefore no proof of the
occurrence of the extermination of the Jews; it is at best the most forceful indication
that the exterminationists can produce, an indication which is nevertheless
contradicted by a whole slew of watertight, irrefutable revisionist evidence. 

b) The two Himmler speeches of October 1943

Two bloodthirsty speeches, alleged to have given by SS Reichsführer Heinrich
Himmler on 4 or 6 October 1943 in Posen before his SS men, are quoted in Holocaust
literature with extraordinary frequency. The first speech states (23):

"I want to speak to you in all openness about a quite difficult matter. It must
be spoken of among us once quite openly, but we will never speak about it in
public... I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extirpation of the Jewish
people. It is one of those things which are easy to say -- 'The Jewish people
will be extirpated', says every Party comrade, 'quite obvious, we'll do it, it's in
our Party programme. Elimination of the Jews, extirpation, that's what we're
doing...' We had the moral right, we had the duty to our people, to kill this
people that wanted to kill us."

Two days later, according to the notes, Himmler said (24):

"A difficult decision had to be made to cause this people to disappear from the
earth... You now know with certainty, and you'll keep it for yourselves... I
believe it is better, we -- we, all of us --- have borne this for our people, have
taken the responsibility for this upon ourselves (the responsibility for a deed,
not for an idea), and we shall take that secret to our grave."
There are no original texts of the speeches. Himmler is allegedly supposed to have
had the text of these (and other) speeches written down later with a typewriter -- for

78

whom? For posterity? To ensure that posterity would finally possess unequivocal
proof of a Holocaust? As noted by the British historian David Irving, the critical
passages, i.e., the passages which "prove the Holocaust", were inserted later, as may
be seen from the different indentations on the pages concerned (25).

Two of the leading revisionists, Stäglich (26) and Walendy (27), have examined this
text. Both came to the conclusion that it is a forgery.

On the other hand, there is a wire recording of the first speech. A recording was made
of excerpts of the first, which was played at the Nuremberg Trial. The copy of this
recording is supposed to have been of very mediocre quality, but the original
recording is supposed to have been of acceptable quality. A voice analysis is supposed
to have proven that this was actually Heinrich Himmler speaking (28).
A few remarks on this subject:

1) In the first speech, Himmler identifies the "evacuation" of the Jews with their
"extermination", mixing up two concepts which are totally distinct today. The
identification of evacuation and extermination loses their contradictory meaning when
one considers that the meaning of the word "Ausrottung" has changed. In today's
speech, "Ausrottung" doubtlessly means "liquidation, physical extermination". This
was not necessarily so earlier; the etymological derivation of "ausrotten" is "to
uproot". This change in meaning is proven by the following: 

In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler wrote that Germanness was threatened with
"Ausrottung" under the Habsburg Monarchy (29). He certainly didn't mean that the
old Kaiser Franz Josef had any plans to drive ten million German-Austrians into gas
chambers; rather, that they were exposed to the danger of losing their power and
influence to the Slavs. Accordingly, Himmler could have meant by "Ausrottung" of
the Jews to mean their political exclusion as well as their expulsion and resettlement
outside of Europe. Of course, in the first speech, he uses the unmistakable word
"umbringen", to kill; it is a fact, particularly on the Eastern front, that many Jews were
shot, but the mere fact of the existence of millions of Jews in the German sphere of
influence at the time of the speech argues against any systematic extermination.

2) There was nothing about any "Ausrottung" of the Jews in the party programme of
the NSDAP.

3) In the second speech, Himmler speaks of the extermination of the Jews as if this
were already concluded. In reality, millions of Jews were still alive in Europe in
October 1943. Approximately 80% of the French Jews remained unharmed at the end
of war. At the time of the speech, the Hungarian Jews had yet been disturbed in any
way; their deportation only began in May 1944. At any rate, Himmler, in a speech
over seven months later, on 24 May 1944, at Sonthofen, stated the following (30):

"At the present time... we will first take 100,000, later another 100,000 Jews
from Hungary into concentration camps, with which to build underground
factories. Not one will thence return into the view of the German people."

79

If the extermination of the European Jews had already been concluded seven months
earlier, one could not possibly set 200,000 Hungarian Jews to work building
underground factories!

4) In both speeches, especially the second, Himmler emphasizes the need for absolute
silence, but fails to obey his own recommendation himself in the slightest; rather, he
blabbers about the horrid crimes committed by his organization, and even had a wire
recording made of the first speech!

If the wire recording of the first speech actually proves to be Himmler's voice, then
these arguments will naturally not apply, insofar as they affect the first speech.

We shall leave the question of the authenticity of both speeches, as well as their exact
meaning, open for the present. A detailed analysis of the speeches by Jack Wickoff
will be published in the near future (31).

c) The business letter relating to the ordering of "gas testers"

As the "final proof" for homicidal gassings in Auschwitz, Pressac cites a business
letter dated 6 March 1943 from the oven construction firm Topf & Söhne to the
Central Construction of Auschwitz. The firm confirms receipt of a telegram ordering
10 gas testers (32).

Faurisson considers the letter to be genuine, but most revisionists consider it a
falsification. We tend to the forgery theory, on the following grounds, stated by
Walter Rademacher, among others (33):

- Devices for the detection of hydrocyanic acid residues are not called "Gasprüfer",
but rather, "Blausaeurerestnachweisgeraete". The instructions for the use of Zyklon B,
dated 1942, mention these devices no less than six times (34);

- if the health service responsible for the delousing action ran out of hydrocyanic acid
detection devices, they would certainly not have ordered them from an oven
construction firm which had nothing to do with their manufacture;

- "Gasprüfer" are understood to be devices for the analysis of CO or CO2 combustion
gases which arise during the carburation of coke in the generator of a crematory oven.
According to Rademacher, the number of Gasprüfer ordered -- ten -- indicates
precisely this application, since crematoria II and III possessed 10 flue gas channels.

This indicates that the document cited by Pressac is a forgery which "mixes apples
and oranges"! Since neither the ordering of "hydrocyanic acid residue detection
devices", nor the ordering of "gas testers" represents even the slightest proof of the
gassing of human beings, the document lacks the slightest probative value even in the
event of its authenticity.

80

Undoubtedly genuine but falsely interpreted documents

Indisputably genuine documents which are subjected to a meaning arbitrarily altered
from the meaning expressed, play an important role in Holocaust literature. Here are a
few examples:

a) The passage on the "Hebraic race perverters" from Mein Kampf

In Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf it says (35):

"If twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebraic race perverters had been held under
poison gas at the beginning of the war, as hundreds of thousands of our best German
workers from all classes and professions were forced to endure it in the field, then the
sacrifice of millions at the Front would not have been in vain."

A correct interpretation of this passage requires a knowledge of Hitler's biography.
Hitler was temporarily blinded by a gas attack in 1918; to him, gas warfare involved
personal trauma. He held the (mostly Jewish) Marxist leaders responsible for
Germany's defeat during WWI. The passage therefore has the following meaning: "If
the Marxist leaders had been sent to the front, where they would have been exposed to
poison gas attacks like all the other soldiers, instead of being allowed to agitate in the
rear, then we wouldn't have lost the war". That Hitler is not speaking of the
extermination of the Jews here, is obvious from the quoted figure of "twelve to fifteen
thousand".

When historians use this passage as proof of a "plan to gas the Jews", a plan alleged to
have taken shape in his mind as early as the 1920s, they involve themselves in an
inextricable contradiction. If you ask them why there are no documentary proofs of
the Holocaust, they reply that the Germans either drew up no documents, or destroyed
them all, just in time to conceal their crimes. According to the same historians,
however, Hitler is then supposed to have announced his genocidal intentions to the
entire world!

b) Documents on the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question"

In a series of wartime German documents, the concept "Final Solution to the Jewish
Question" arises. Thus, Göring wrote to Heydrich on 31 July 1941 (36):

"Supplementing your order already issued by decree of 24.1.1939, to bring the
Jewish question to the most satisfactory possible solution in the form of
emigration or evacuation in accordance with the time circumstances, I hereby
assign you with responsibility for finding all the necessary conditions in an
organizational, technical and material regard for an overall solution of the
Jewish question in the German sphere of influence in Europe... I furthermore
assign you with responsibility for presenting me soon with an overall draft of
the organizational, technical, and material preconditions for the execution of
the desired overall solution of the Jewish question." 

This letter is quoted to the point of exhaustion by the Holocaust peddlers, always with
the allegation that Göring entrusted Heydrich with the organizational preparation of

81

the genocide. Again, the ruling clique is reading something into the document which
is not there.

What the National Socialists understood by "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" is
made very clear in this document: the emigration, by force if necessary, of all Jews
from Europe. Madagascar was originally intended to serve as the home of the Jews
(see, in this regard, the above mentioned entry in Goebbels' diary of 7 March 1942),
but this plan could not be realized. After conquering extensive territories in the East at
the beginning of the Russian campaign, the creation of at least a provisional Jewish
settlement area in each zone was considered. That a considerable number of Jews
were actually sent to White Russia and the Baltic states, is admitted even by the
exterminationists (37). Of course, such deportations make nonsense of the
exterminationist argument: why send Jews right past six "extermination camps"
running full tilt, all the way to White Russia and the Baltic states, if a decision has
been made for the complete extermination of Jewry?

In his book Die zweite babylonische Gefangenschaft, Steffen Werner collects a
number of clues indicating that considerable numbers of Jews were in fact sent to
White Russia and settled there (38). That Auschwitz was used as a transit camp for
the Eastern settlement of Jews not registered at Auschwitz and therefore assumed by
exterminationists to have been gassed, has been shown by the Spaniard Enrique Aynat
(39).

The character of German policy towards the Jews is clearly revealed by a document
drawn up by Martin Luther, an official of the Foreign Office, on 21 August 1942 (40):

"The evacuation of the Jews from Germany has begun on the basis of the...
mentioned instruction of the Fuehrer (on the resettlement of the Jews). It was
considered whether to include the Jewish citizens of countries which had also
taken Jewish measures... the number of Jews shifted to the East in this manner
does not suffice to cover the labour requirements. The Reichssicherheitsamt
approached the Foreign Office, upon the instructions of the Reichsführer SS,
to ask the Slovakian government to make 20,000 strong young Jews from
Slovakia available for transfer to the East." 

Hans Heinrich Lammers, Director of the Reichschancellory, was asked about his
knowledge of the Final Solution by attorney Dr. Thoma during the Nuremberg Trial.
In 1942, he had asked Himmler what the "Final Solution of the Jewish question" was
to be understood to mean; after which Himmler informed him that this meant the
evacuation of the Jews to the East. In 1943, rumours came to Lammers' attention
according to which the Jews were being exterminated. He investigated the matter, and
returned to Himmler, who reacted as follows (41):

"He (Himmler) brought out a lot of pictures and albums and showed me the
work that was being done in these camps by the Jews and how they worked
for the war needs -- the shoemakers' shops, tailors' shops, and so forth. He told
me: 'This is the order of the Fuehrer: if you believe that you have to take
action against it, then tell the Fuehrer....' I once again reported this matter to
the Fuehrer, and on this occasion he gave me exactly the same reply which I

82

had been given by Himmler. He said, 'I shall later on decide where these Jews
will be taken and in the meantime they are being cared for there.'"

The following dialogue took place between Dr. Thoma and Lammers (42):

Thoma: Did Himmler ever tell you that the Final Solution of the Jewish problem was
to take place through the extermination of the Jews?

Lammers: That was never mentioned. He talked only about evacuation. 

Thoma: When did you hear that these five million Jews had been exterminated?

Lammers: I heard of that here a while ago.

The chief of the Reichschancellory, who, according to the Enzyklopaedie der
Holocaust, received "all anti-Jewish measures" across his desk, (43), therefore only
learned at Nuremberg that the Final Solution of the Jewish question was to take place
through their extermination!

c) Documents on "Special actions", etc.

All German documents in which words appear bearing the prefix "Sonder"
(Sondermassnahmen, Sonderaktionen, Sonderbehandlung, etc.) are trotted out as
proof of the extermination of the Jews. Now, it is true that such concepts could relate
to executions (44), but this was by no means always the case. Thus, Pressac mentions
in his second book, that the concept (Sonderaktion" was used in Auschwitz for the
police investigation of the grounds for a strike of the civilian workers (45) -- a
STRIKE in an EXTERMINATION CAMP! Pressac furthermore quotes an order from
the SS concerning "Sondermassnahmen" for the improvement of the sanitary
conditions in the Birkenau camp (46). Thus, the Sondermassnahmen here were to
prolong life, and not to shorten it.

To sum up: among the many millions of documents from the era of the Third Reich,
there is NOT ONE which delivers a single proof for the gassing of even one JEW in
Auschwitz or elsewhere!

d) The Korherr Report: master example of misinterpretation

A report drawn up by the SS statistician Richard Korherr (47) in early 1943 for Dr.
Rudolf Brandt of Himmler's staff is constantly quoted by the orthodox historians as
"proof of the Holocaust". According to the report, the number of European Jews in
Europe had been reduced by nearly half in the time period between 1933 and 1943.
1,873,549 Jews are stated to have been lost as the result of "evacuations including
Theresienstadt and including Sonderbehandlung" (Theresienstadt was a ghetto for
mostly elderly and privileged Jews).

Korherr then lists the Jews evacuated from Baden and the Pfalz to France, from the
territory of the Reich, including the Protectorate and Bialystock, to the East, and from
the territory of the Reich and the Protectorate to Theresienstadt, presenting his
statistics as follows:

83

The second document reproduced here proves that an inmate, Jan Kristian, was
detained at Auschwitz from 3 May to 8 June 1944 and was released on the last
mentioned date, on the condition that he report immediately to the Auschwitz labour
office for new arrangements. 

This release is no isolated case. Carlo Mattogno and myself found 56 such release
certificates in Moscow covering a period of only a few days in June and July 1944. In
almost all cases, these were Poles having served short sentences in Birkenau "labour
education camp" for violating their labour contracts, and were sent to a factory after
completing their sentences. 

The releases occurred at just the point in time, according to official Holocaust
literature, when the extermination of the Hungarian Jews was running full blast;
around 400,000 of these people are supposed to have been driven into the gas
chambers within the short period of less than two months. Jan Kristian and the
numerous releases over that same period are therefore supposed to have permitted to
witness the gassing of the 400,000 Hungarian Jews "live", after which they were
released so that they could blabber all about it in their factories! This is the sort of
rubbish which has been touted by the media whores, court historians, and politicians
for decades; and we believe it.

In reality, Auschwitz was used as a transit camp for the deportation of the Hungarian
Jews, with the exception of the 28,000 who were registered there. This is proven by
German documents, and is confirmed by a totally unimpeachable authority, Jean-
Claude Pressac; he reports, referring to documents located in the Yad Vashem, that
40,000 to 50,000 Hungarian female Jews were sent to the work camp of Stutthof
alone (58). Pressac thus involuntarily reinforces the basic theory of the revisionists --
that the transport of a large part of European Jews for compulsory labour is a
historical fact, but that the "extermination of Jews in gas chambers" is the most
enormous, most impudent swindle of all time.

CHAPTER IX

EYEWITNESSES TO THE GAS CHAMBERS AT
AUSCHWITZ

This chapter is a slightly amended version of an article published by the author in the
periodical Aurora (Postfach 386, 8105 Regensdorf, Switzerland, July 1995).

Anyone with a serious interest in the Holocaust is strongly recommended to take a trip
to Auschwitz. All sorts of peculiarities are immediately apparently to the critical
visitor: piles of "women's hair from victims of mass gassings" are displayed behind
plate glass windows; yet the hair is all ash-blonde in colour, and looks like flax or
hemp. Piles of shoes are presented as proof of mass murder, although the only thing
they really prove is that somebody piled up a load of shoes (1). Above all, however,
are the absurdly small dimensions of the "gas chambers" in which between 470,000
and 9,000,000 people were murdered and cremated beyond a trace (according to
which historian you believe).

According to the exterminationists, the Auschwitz camp complex possessed the
following gassing installations:

- block 11 in the main camp of Auschwitz I, where only one single gassing procedure
is alleged to have taken place (see above);

- The morgue alleged to have been used as a gas chamber in the Krematorium of the
main camp (Auschwitz I);

- Two farm houses allegedly converted into gas chambers, located to the west of
Birkenau, three kilometres west of the main camp;

- The rooms designated as "Morgue I" in the Krematoria II and III at Birkenau
(identical in construction);

- several rooms inside Krematoria IV and V of Birkenau, undesignated in the
blueprints, but alleged to have been used as gas chambers.
Now compare Figs. II and III.

According to Pressac, 10,000 people -- both Jews and Soviet prisoners of war -- are
supposed to have been murdered in the gas chambers of the main camps in early
1942. That there is no documentary evidence of this, but only eyewitness reports, is
openly admitted by Pressac (2). From the spring of 1942 until the spring of 1943,
gassings are supposed to have taken place in the farm houses, also called the "red"
and "white" houses, or bunkers 1 and 2. From the spring of 1943, the gassings are

90

supposed to have taken place in the crematoria of Birkenau, when the gas chambers of
Krema II are supposed to have become the main murder factories of the Third Reich.

In our book Auschwitz: Tätergeständnisse und Augenzeugen des Holocaust (3), we
collected and analysed 30 of the most important eyewitness reports and confessions.
The official historical writers should have undertaken such a task decades ago, but no;
they left the job to the revisionists. The idea for this undertaking, by the way, was
suggested by Gerhard Förster, a certified engineer.

23 or 24 of the eyewitness reports which we evaluated date back to the years 1944 to
1947. 22 of them originate from Jewish "Holocaust survivors", two from non-Jewish
Poles, and six from German criminals.

Some of the technical and scientific impossibilities in the eyewitness testimonies

If we examine the testimonies carefully, we soon discover that they contain a number
of scientific and technical impossibilities which hopelessly shatter their probative
value. Here are only a few of these absurdities; we will be satisfied in most cases with
a single example only.

a) Blue vapour over the bodies of the victims. The witness, Richard Boerk, a lower-
ranking SS lorry driver during the war who was considered especially credible by the
Auschwitz Trial in Frankfurt (1963-1965), states as follows: (4):

"A short time later (i.e., after the death of the victims) the door was opened by
the prisoners, and we could still see a blue vapour floating over a gigantic pile
of bodies."

Boeck cannot possibly have seen this blue vapour, since hydrocyanide gas is entirely
colourless. Its name comes from the blue colour of the pigment arising from its
compound with iron.

b) Blue coloration among the victims. "Holocaust survivor" Milton Buki reports (5):

"Two minutes after opening the doors, we received the order to carry away the
bodies, and we loaded them on carts. The bodies were naked, some had blue
spots."

Hydrocyanic acid blocks the oxygen supply to the cells. The haemoglobin in the
blood can no longer give off oxygen to the cells, and the blood becomes saturated
with oxygen, which leads to a red colouring of the skin (6). Buki was a member of the
Sonderkommando and in Auschwitz from December 1942. The Sonderkommando
allegedly had to drag the bodies out of the gas chambers. Since the gassings allegedly
continued until well into Octobre 1944, Buki had almost two years in which to
observe that victims of hydrocyanic gas asphyxiation exhibit red coloration, but no, he
speaks of blue pigmentation. So does Hilberg's star witness, Filip Mueller (7), who
was a member of a Sonderkommando for almost two years. There can be no doubt
that Buki and Mueller never saw the body of a person having died of cyanide gas
asphyxiation.

91

c) Impossibly great numbers of victims packed into the gas chamber per square meter.
According to star witness Höss, around 2,000 victims (9), were packed into the gas
chambers of Krema II -- the surface area measures 210 square metres (8) -- according
to key witness Vrba 3,000 (10), or even 4,000 victims, according to key witness
Broad (11), all crammed in at one time. The Nazis would have needed a steam shovel
to get them in, and they could have saved the money they spent on Zyklon B (which
was expensive).

d) Flames shooting out of the crematory chimneys. Henryk Tauber, Pressac's star
witness, tells us the following story (12):

"In general, we burned four or five bodies in one muffle, but we often put
more bodies in the ovens... Great numbers of bodies were burned at one time,
without the knowledge of the director of the crematorium, whenever the air
raid siren went off. The especially high flames shooting out of the chimneys
were to attract the attention of the pilots."

Walter Lüftl, former president of the Austrian Federal Chamber of Engineers, and
forensic expert at innumerable trials, remarks to this effect: 

"Coke is a short-flamed fuel. For this reason, the flames cannot even exit the
combustion chamber. Between the oven and chimney, there is an exhaust
channel, the flue. The chimney only comes after that. The combustion of
short-flamed solid fuels gives off no flames, but only, at the most, hot exhaust
gasses at 180 degrees Centigrade; otherwise, the chimney would soon be
ruined."

e) Impossibly great numbers of bodies burnt at once in one muffle. Sonderkommando
member Alter Szmul Faynzylberg is even more audacious than Henryk Tauber. He
claims (13):
"There were three ovens; there were two openings in each one. There was
room for twelve bodies in each of these openings."

The muffles he is talking about measured 200 x 70 x 80 cm. It must have been very
difficult to cram 12 bodies into a space that size, to say the least. 

f) Cremation of bodies without fuel. We will allow Pressac's star witness Henryk
Tauber describe this one again (14):

"...when one cremation followed another, the ovens used the embers given off
during the cremations as fuel. For this reason, we usually extinguished the fire
during the cremation of fat bodies."

Bodies consist of more than 60% water and only burn by themselves, without fuel, in
the fairy tales of Holocaust survivors.

g) Cremation of bodies in ditches. This fairy tale appears in the accounts of many
"eyewitnesses", such as that of Szlama Dragon (15):

92

"On the other side of the huts, there were four ditches, each 30 m long, 7 m
wide and 3 m deep... First we laid big logs on the floor of the ditch, then
increasingly smaller pieces of wood laid cross-wise, and finally, dried
branches. After all the bodies had been dragged out of the hut and placed in
the ditch, Moll poured petrol all over them at all four corners of the ditch, and
set them on fire, by throwing in a burning rag."

Due to the insufficient oxygen supply, the cremation of bodies in ditches will only
char them; they cannot be completely burnt (16). One should also note that Dragon
has built his bonfire upside down. Every Boy Scout knows that fires are lit by putting
the most easily combustible material, i.e., small twigs, etc., at the bottom. Dragon's
pile of wood would never catch fire, since the fire would go out after burning the
more easily combustible material at the top. Bodies have always been burnt in the
open, on pyres, not in ditches.

h) Use of boiling human fat flowing down from the cremation fires, as additional fuel.
This monstrous fairy tale is taken to an extreme by Filip Mueller (17), but it is also
found in innumerable other reports, giving rise to the suspicion that "Holocaust
survivors" simply repeat the same nonsense over and over, copied from each other. In
1995, a book on the Sonderkommando appeared by the Israeli "expert" named Gideon
Grief (18). As soon as we got hold of his book, we immediately looked for the story
of the boiling human fat. It only took a few minutes -- and sure enough, there it was:
right there in the introduction (p. xxvii). 

i) Use of methanol as fuel. Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss wrote in his Krakow
prison (19):

"The bodies were first spattered with oil residues, then methanol."

The stupid yarn about burning bodies with methanol is found in the accounts of both
"victim" Filip Mueller (20) and "criminal" Pery Broad (21). Walter Lüftl, President of
the Austrian Chamber of Engineers, once attempted to burn a dead sparrow with
methanol. The attempt failed, although the quantity of methanol, by weight, exceeded
the weight body of the sparrow itself.

The four central impossibilities of the eyewitness testimonies

We now come to the four central impossibilities of the eyewitness testimonies, which
in turn destroy whatever credibility is left.

a) Impossibly short cremation times per corpse

In the Basel crematorium, the cremation of a corpse takes an average of one hour
(22); in the Freiburg crematorium, it takes one and a half hours (see Fig. IV).
According to our witnesses, the same procedure at Auschwitz took place in a fraction
of that time (23). According to Dov Paisikovic, it only took a total of four minutes to
reduce a corpse to ashes (23). Star witness Miklos Nyiszli, whose best seller has
appeared in many languages and editions, reports that the 46 muffles of the Birkenau
crematoria burnt 20,000 corpses PER DAY (24). According to the same Nyiszli,
20,000 Jews were gassed every day, and another 5,000 to 6,000 were shot or burnt

93

alive. This makes 435 bodies per muffle, which means that the cremation process was
eighteen times faster than in modern crematoria in 1996. More modest is Rudolf
Höss, who wrote (25):

"The two big crematoria I and II (usual numbering today: II and III) were built
in the winter of 1942/1943 and put into operation in early 1943. They had five
3-chamber ovens each, and could each burn 2,000 bodies in 24 hours."

According to this, the daily capacity of one retort amounted to 133 corpses, and was
therefore five times higher than in a modern crematorium. Carlo Mattogno was
correct in stating, in his trail-blazing study on the crematoria of Auschwitz (26): 

"The eyewitnesses wish to persuade us that the crematory ovens of Auschwitz-
Birkenau were independent of the laws of nature: diabolical instruments, not
ordinary crematory installations subject to the chemico-physical and thermo-
technical laws of nature which ordinarily apply to such installations. The
historians have decided to trust the witnesses blindly, and therefore allowed
themselves to be dragged along by the current of totally misleading
testimonies."

b) Introduction of Zyklon through non-existent openings

Most of the Jews are supposed to have been murdered in the "gas chamber" of Krema
II of Birkenau, and there are by far the most "eyewitness testimonies" about this gas
chamber. The layout of the crematorium is shown in Fig. III. So how did the Zyklon
get into the death chamber? The witnesses have told the story in five different
variants, all of which are radically impossible:

1. Variant no. 1: the Zyklon was introduced into the interior of the gas chamber
through shower heads. These variant, which continues to haunt popular superstition to
the present day, appears, for example, in a book by an Austrian Jewess named Jenny
Spritzer (27). It is so extremely stupid that it has never been accepted by any official
historian. Zyklon B is a granulate and cannot move through pipes!

2. Variant no. 2, from Zofia Kossack (28):

"A shrill scream, and the gas began to rise through openings in the floor. From
a balcony enabling them to see over the doors, the SS men eagerly observed
the death struggle: the terror, the convulsions, of those condemned to die. For
these sadists, it was a spectacle of which they never grew tired. The death
struggle lasted 10 to 15 minutes... The team loaded the bodies on carts, of
course, working as fast as they could. Others waited. But it happened that the
dead began to come back to life. At this dosage, the gas only stupefied them, it
didn't kill them. It often happened that the victims began to regain
consciousness on the carts... They rushed down the ramps and unloaded their
cargo into the ovens."

First, the ovens were located above the gas chamber, so that they could not possibly
"rush down the ramps"; second, there were no "balconies" from which one could
overlook the morgues; third, dead people do not usually regain consciousness; fourth,

94

there were no holes in the floor through which the gas could rise. As every visitor to
the ruins of the crematorium may observe today, the only thing beneath the floor of
the morgue is solid earth.

3. Variant 3, from the Slovakian Jew Rudolf Vrba (29):

"A command was issued in a sharp tone to the SS man (on the roof of the
crematorium). He raised a circular lid and dropped the little pellets on the
heads below him."

At the time of the alleged mass killings, there were no openings in the roof of the
morgue, with or without lid. As German Rudolf has irrefutably proven in his expert
report (30), the two openings visible in the roof today were clumsily made by the
Soviets or Polish communists after the demolition of the crematoria and the Germans
retreat, in order to fake the appearance of Zyklon introduction holes. The openings are
quite irregular in shape, and impossibly large (a slim adult can climb through them
into the morgue). The iron reinforcement rods were simply bent back; there are no
cracks running through the holes, which would be the case if the holes had existed
before the building was blown up.

4. Variant no. 4, from Miklos Nyiszli (31):

"The content of the container... is poured into the opening, from which it
reaches the gas chambers through sheet metal pipes in the underground gas
chamber. The substance: Zyklon B. In contact with the air, the substance gives
off a gas which penetrates the many thousands of holes in the sheet metal
pipes and diffuses into the room packed with people."

As in variant 3, this would require openings in the ceiling, which did not exist.

5. Variant 5 is another Hendryk Tauber inspiration (32):

"The roof of the gas chamber rests on cement columns, which were located in
the midst of the longitudinal sides. Next to these columns stood four others,
two on each side. The sides of these columns, which led out of through the
roof, were of heavy wire grid. Within this grid was another, of finer wire.
Further inside, was still a third grid, of very fine wire. Inside this third and last
wire grid was a can, which could be tipped upwards with a wire to allow the
pellets to fall out, from which the gas streamed outwards."

This would have prevented the granulates -- which would have continued to release
gas for two more hours -- from becoming entrapped beneath the bodies and
endangering the lives of the Sonderkommando. But even if one hundred thousand
witnesses confirmed the existence of such a wire grid, the story would still collapse
due to the non-existence of any holes in the ceiling.

Zyklon is also supposed to have been poured through holes in the roof at
Krematorium I in the main camp, which attracts far more visitors than the ruins of the
Kremas at Birkenau. These openings were also made after the war, as has been
admitted by the administration of the Auschwitz Museum; and since the crematorium

95

ceiling, apart from this, is still indisputably in the original condition, it would be easy
to see traces of the original holes if there had ever been any; but no such traces exist
(33).

"No holes, no Holocaust", is Robert Faurisson's neat way of summing up the matter.

c) Opening the gas chamber doors and removing the bodies after impossibly short
ventilation times

The insecticide Zyklon B, used in Auschwitz to combat infectious diseases carried by
lice, consists of liquid hydrocyanic acid absorbed in a carrier base (a granular mass).
At a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and low humidity, wartime Zyklon B gave off
approximately 50% of its hydrocyanic acid in approximately half an hour. Its entire
content of hydrocyanic acid was only released after approximately two hours (34).
Even if the homicidal gas chambers had possessed efficient ventilation systems -- and
such systems existed only in the delousing chambers, not in the gas chambers (35) --
it would have been necessary to wait at least two hours before turning on the
ventilation.

There is only one single example of a case in which the witnesses describe a long
death struggle and a long period between the introduction of the gas and the emptying
of the gas chamber. This description relates to the alleged gassing of Soviet prisoners
of war in Block 11 of the main camp. This gassing used to be considered to have
occurred in September 1941, but, according to Jean-Claude Pressac, it should be
considered to have taken place in December 1941 (36). But one of the most important
witnesses, Rudolf Höss, says that the victims died "immediately after introduction" of
the Zyklon B (37), so that the witnesses contradict each other. That any gassing of
Russian POWs is a myth, has been proven by Carlo Mattogno in great detail (38).

Apart from the special case mentioned above, the time elapsing between the
introduction of the Zyklon and the death of the victims, as described by the
"eyewitnesses" varies from "immediately" to 20 minutes. Since the granulate only
gives off its gas content slowly, immediate death would have been an impossibility,
even if ridiculously high quantities of Zyklon had been used; death within 20 minutes,
on the other hand, would have been quite possible. The short time intervals alleged to
have elapsed between the death of the victims and the emptying of the gas chamber
nevertheless remain quite unrealistic. The longest delay mentioned by any witness
that we know of -- apart from the alleged, one-time only gassing of Russian prisoners
-- is 50 minutes (39), which would have been less than half the minimum required
time.

Let us now quote an unusually ingenious "eyewitness" report. It comes from Dr.
Charles Sigismund Bendel, a Roumanian-French doctor of the Islamic faith. Bendel
helped frame two totally innocent men, Dr. Bruno Tesch and Karl Weinbacher, of the
DEGESCH (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung); both were hanged
(40). Here is Dr. Bendel's testimony on the gassing procedure in Krema IV (41):

"About 12 o'clock the new transport arrived, consisting of some 800 to 1,000
people... Then the door was opened, and the people were packed into the gas
chambers, which gave the impression that the roof was falling on their heads,

CHAPTER X
 
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUSCHWITZ
LEGEND 

How the eyewitness reports were coordinated

As the historian Ernst Nolte correctly observes, it is impossible for a considerable
number of persons to invent more or less the same stories entirely independently of
each other. Nolte's conclusion is that the gas chamber stories must contain at least a
core of truth, even if the number of victims has been exaggerated (1). A similar sort of
logical process might lead one to conclude as follows: "In the Middle Ages,
innumerable witnesses testified that they had seen witches riding to the Witches'
Sabbath on broomsticks; many witches even admitted as much at their trials. The
story must, therefore, contain a certain core of basic truth; it may be, however, that the
number of witches riding through the air has been greatly exaggerated." It obviously
does not occur to Professor Nolte that eyewitness testimonies and confessions can be
coordinated as much as one likes if one possesses complete freedom to torture and
falsify as much as one likes -- as the Allies did after WWII.

As shown by the excellent Spanish researcher Enrique Aynat, the Polish resistance
movement reported mass murders in Auschwitz as early as 1941. Zyklon was never
mentioned as the murder weapon; the murders were allegedly being committed with
pneumatic hammers, electrical baths, and combat gases (2). These reports attracted no
attention outside Poland. While atrocity stories of steam, gas, and electrical chambers
at Belzec and Treblinka were diligently spread starting in 1942, there was silence
about Auschwitz until June 1944. The British Jewish author, Martin Gilbert writes, 

"The secret of the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau lay hidden until the
third week of June" (3). 

In June 1944, the mass deportation of Hungarian Jews was in full swing; of these,
438,000 were sent to Auschwitz. 28,000 of them were registered there, while the
others were sent on to other work camps and factories (4). The alleged extermination
of the Hungarian Jews in the gas chambers at Birkenau was the starting point for the
legend of the extermination camp Auschwitz.

In November 1944, this legend took concrete form. At that time there appeared in
Washington the WRB report, based on the testimonies of Auschwitz escapees Rudolf
Vrba, Alfred Wetzler, Czeslaw Mordowicz, Arnost Rosin, and Jerzy Tabeau, not all
of whom were cited by name in the report (5). According to the WRB report, Zyklon
was being used as the murder weapon; the gassings were taking place in two farm

101

houses west of Birkenau, as well as within the four Birkenau crematoria. There was
no talk of murders in the main camp crematorium. We will return to this report below.

On 2 February 1945, shortly after the liberation of Auschwitz, Pravda reported a
"conveyor belt of death", on which hundreds of people were murdered at one time.
This "conveyor belt" disappeared immediately; no eyewitness has ever mentioned it.
Gas chambers also existed, according to Pravda, but they were located them in the
wrong place -- not at Birkenau, but in the "Eastern part of the camp". Quite obviously,
the conference between the Western powers and the Soviets had not been entirely
successful: the Russians knew they were supposed to find "proof" of mass murders,
but Washington and London seem to have forgotten to provide the full details; so the
Pravda reporter, a Jew by the name of Polevoi, permitted his fantasy to run amuck.

In April and May 1945, several former Auschwitz inmates appeared as witnesses
before a Polish commission. These inmates included the following Jews, commonly
cited in holocaust literature: Alter Szmul Faynzylberg -- who also went by the name
of Stanislaw Jankowsi, Kaskowiak, and Alter Feinsilber, and who changed his date of
birth as often as his name -- Szlama Dragon, and Henryk Tauber (6). After the flop
with the Pravda article, the Polish Communists took care to coordinate the
testimonies, at least very generally. So the witnesses placed the gas chambers in the
right location, and were unanimous as to the murder weapon: no more combat gas, no
more electrical baths, no more pneumatic hammers, but rather, Zyklon B. Apart from
this, the Holocaust survivors were allowed to allow their perverted imaginations to
run amuck as usual; for this reason, their factual reports are highly entertaining.

The myth took on formal shape with the "confession" of the first Auschwitz
commandant, Rudolf Höss. He disappeared after the end of the war, and, assuming
the name Franz Lang, hid out on a farm in Schleswig-Holstein. In March 1946, the
British found him. His confession -- representing the core of the Auschwitz yarn
which continues to be defended with the viciousness of a cornered rat right down to
the present day -- was obtained by a British team of torture specialists under the
leadership of the Jewish sergeant Bernard Clarke as follows (7):

"Höss screamed in terror at the mere sight of the British uniforms. Clarke
yelled: 'What is your name?' With each answer of 'Fritz Lang', Clarke's hand
crashed into the face of the prisoner. The fourth time that happened, Höss
broke and admitted who he was... He was then dragged naked to one of the
slaughter tables, where it seemed to Clarke the blows and screams were
endless... It took three days to get a coherent statement out of him." 

The Höss confession (8) has been analysed and torn to shreds so many times and in
such great detail by revisionist researchers so that we need not go into further detail;
we will content ourselves with a few comments:

- Höss confessed to gassing 2.5 million people, with a total death count of 3 million,
at Auschwitz during his period as commandant (until the end of November 1943). Not
a single historian believes these figures today. Was Höss so eager to be hanged as to
incriminate himself untruthfully to such an extent?

102

- according to his confession, Höss visisted Treblinka as early as 1941. The
extermination camp of Belzec is therefore supposed to have been in existence as early
as 1941. In reality, however, the Belzec camp was only opened in March 1942, while
the Treblinka camp was opened in July 1942 (9). Höss also mentions an extermination
camp, Wolzek, which nobody has ever heard of, either before or since. He can't
possibly have confused it with Belzec, since both camps are mentioned in the same
sentence. 

- in our book Auschwitz: Tätergeständnisse..., we listed a total of 45 absurdities,
impossibilities, and improbabilities contained in the Höss confession, as well as in the
Höss memoirs in the prison of Krakow (Höss was delivered to the Poles after his
appearance at Nuremberg). The list is most certainly far from complete.
How the courts faked "evidence" for the Holocaust

Auschwitz played an important role in the Nuremberg Trial. The objective of the trial
was to provide "legal proof" of the crimes of the Germans, alleged to be "unique in
world history". Especially significant are articles 19 and 21 of the London Agreement
of August 1945, which created the so-called legal basis for the trials (10). According
to article 19, the court was "not bound by technical rules of evidence"; article 21
stated that "the court need not require proof of facts of common knowledge, but shall
take judicial notice thereof". Just what constituted "a fact of common knowledge",
was, of course, to be decided by the court itself! Since the extermination of the Jews
and the other crimes of which Germany stood accused -- such as the mass murder of
Polish officers at Katyn, committed by the Bolshevik butchers and blamed on the
Germans, hanging German soldiers for their own crime (11) -- "were facts of common
knowledge", the tedious task of producing actual proof could conveniently be
dispensed with.

The innumerable trials of Nazi war criminals in the Federal German Republic were
held on the same model. Ever since the 1950s, the US puppet regime in Bonn has
assigned the "German" justice system the task of conjuring up the Fata Morgana of a
mass murder of millions of people in gas chambers, of which not the slightest
evidence remains. This was achieved in the following manner:

Before the trial began, the accused was vilified in the controlled media as a "beast in
human shape". Proof was not required, since "crime" and "criminal" were, for the
most part, considered to have been established from the outset. The witnesses were
allowed to lie a blue streak, since nobody was allowed to subject the former "victims
of persecution" to emotional torment with sceptical questioning; the only chance for a
lenient sentence for the accused lay in evading any dispute over the existence of the
gas chambers and the reality of the genocide, while merely disputing one's own
participation in the killings, blaming everything on persons already dead, missing, or
superiors who had already been sentenced. Anyone in a war crimes trial who disputed
the basic version of events at Auschwitz (i.e., the Holocaust yarn) -- a version already
accepted as "proven fact" -- found himself in a totally hopeless position: his
stubbornness only got him a tougher sentence. This is how the confessions came to be
given. Anyone wishing further information should consult chapter 4 of Wilhelm
Stäglich's book Der Auschwitz-Mythos, Manfred Koehler's article on the value of

103

Holocaust testimonies and confessions in the Gauss anthology Grundlagen zur
Zeitgeschichte, and the chapter on the trials in our book "The Holocaust Swindle".

Many people may wonder why every post-war German government from Adenauer to
Kohl has allowed these show trials to be carried on in order to incriminate their own
people with fake atrocities. The reason is that the Bundesrepublik is not a sovereign
state. The trials are intended to pursue definite objectives in domestic as well as
foreign policy.

First, every such trial allows Bonn to prove its anti-fascistic convictions to foreign
powers, thus proving the Bonn regime to be a prime ally of the USA. In addition, the
trials help "re-educate" the German people. In this respect, all German governments
have played a decisive role as the bootlickers and thugs of Washington. By repeatedly
"proving" the unexcelled brutality of the National Socialist regime, they legitimize
their own "democratic" parliamentary system, which continues to suffer from the
minor defect of having being introduced solely as a result of German defeat in WW II.
Dragging crowds of young people through the courtrooms to witness the trials
destroys the national pride and self-respect of the young, and thus creates acceptance
for Bonn policies, which provide for a complete subordination to American interests.
In so doing, the trials contribute greatly to strengthening the post-war New World
Order, which is based upon two dogmas: sole German guilt for WWII, and the cruelty
of the National Socialist regime (unique in world history, don't forget), a cruelty most
clearly expressed in the extermination of the Jews. 
A perfect example: Dr. Johann Paul Kremer

Let us illustrate the above with a particularly notable exemplary case.

Dr. Johann Paul Kremer is one of the star witnesses of exterminationist historians;
hardly a single work of Holocaust literature appears without mentioning him and his
diary entries on Auschwitz. Here are the facts:

Kremer, born in 1883, was a professor of medicine at the University of Muenster.
From the end of August to the middle of November 1942, he was sent to Auschwitz
as the replacement for a camp doctor who had fallen ill. While he was at Auschwitz,
he made the diary entries which were later to be quoted thousands of times as proof of
genocide. He was then sent back to his university. This means that the Nazis were
stupid enough to allow Kremer to witness the mass murders at Auschwitz first hand --
they were allegedly in full swing at that time -- and then go back and blabber all about
it to his students! This is just the first thing to note in considering the credibility of
this Holocaust "star witness".

The ominous entries are very short, and read as follows (12):

"2. Sept. 1942. For the first time outside at 3 o'clock early at a special action.
In comparison to this, Dante's Inferno is almost a comedy. It's not for nothing
that Auschwitz is called the camp of annihilation!...

5. Sept. 1942. Today after noon at a special action of the F.K.L.
(Mohammedans): the most horrible of horrors. Hschf. Thilo -- military

104

physician -- was right when he told me we were in the anus mundi here.
Evening around 8 o'clock again at a special action from Holland. For the
special rations given in so doing, consisting of fifth of a litre of brandy, 5
cigarettes, and 100 g sausage and bread, the men volunteer for such actions in
droves...

F.K.L. meant "Frauenkonzentrationslager" (women's concentration camp) and
"Mohammedans" was camp slang for living skeletons. HSCHF stood for
"Hauptscharführer", "anus mundi" means "anus of the world" in Latin.

On 12 October, Kremer entrusted his diary with the following entry (13):

"Protective inoculation against typhus; afterwards strong general reaction
towards evening (fever); nevertheless present in the night at a special action
from Holland (1600 persons). Horrible scenes in front of the last bunker. This
was the 10th special action."

It might be noted that Kremer did not destroy his diary after the war, but rather
allowed it to fall intact into the hands of the British.

According to Holocaust literature, the "special actions" were gassings. The "last
bunker" was accordingly one of the two bunkers designated as farm houses in
Birkenau (the red and white house), which are supposed to have been used as gassing
stations before the erection of the Birkenau crematoria.

The doctor himself confirmed this version of the facts before a Polish court in Krakow
in 1947 (after the British handed him over to the poles). He was accused of having
participated in gassing a group of women. He was sentenced to death, then the
sentence was commuted into life imprisonment. In 1958, he was finally [released?]
due to his advanced age and good conduct. Soon afterwards, he was hauled into court
in the BRD and sentenced to ten year's imprisonment for aiding and abetting murder,
which sentence he was, however, considered to have already served. At the age of 80,
Kremer took the stand on 4 July 1964 during the Auschwitz Trial and confirmed this
story once again. The Holocaust scribblers rely upon such confessions, and argue that
the criminals could not have disputed the murders in the gas chambers anyway.

A very convincing discussion of the Kremer case was provided by Robert Faurisson
in his work Mémoire en defense (14): The following is his discussion summarized in a
few points:

- Auschwitz could easily have been called the "camp of annihilation" in late summer
of 1942 even without gas chambers and mass murders, since typhus was claiming 300
victims a day at that time;

- no gassing can have been meant by "special action", since Kremer writes that it took
place "outside". (Several Holocaust scribblers, for examples, Wellers, Klarsfeld and
Poliakov, have revealingly deleted this word in their reproduction of the dairy
entries.) The words "last bunker" cannot possibly have meant one of the two Birkenau
farmhouses, otherwise Kremer would have spoken of the "second" bunker, and not
the "last" one;

105

- in reality, the special action could have consisted of cleaning dirty train carriages
after the arrival of new inmates. Special rations were distributed for such unpleasant
work; 

- Kremer must have attended about 30 executions during his time at Auschwitz. The
horrid scenes could have involved something of this nature.

- that Kremer confirmed the reported gassings before his Polish judges is easily
explained: he wanted to save his life, and finally succeeded. If he had disputed the
official version, he would inevitably have been hanged;

- even his testimony at the Auschwitz Trial was given on understandably opportunist
grounds: at the age of eighty, he simply had no desire to spend the last years of his life
behind bars, which is what would presumably have happened to him if he had
disputed the gassings.

This is how the confessions came to be given. In any case, Kremer mentions gassings
expressly in his diary at one point (entry of 1 September): "afternoon at the gassing of
a block with Zyklon B against lice."

Not even Holocaust literature has ever claimed that "lice" is just a camouflage term
for "Jews". At least not yet!
The father of the Auschwitz lie
If one were to bestow the disreputable title of "Father of the Auschwitz Lie", Dr.
Rudolf Vrba, today a retired university professor in Vancouver, Canada, would have
justifiable claim to that honour. As a young man, the Slovakian Jew was deported to
Auschwitz, where he succeeded in escaping on 7 April 1944 with his compatriot and
fellow Jew Alfred Wetzler. Together with the testimonies of Czeslow Mordowicz,
Arnost Rosin, and Jerzy Tabeau, a report by Vrba and Wetzler appeared in the WRB
report of November 1944.

A careful examination of the Vrba-Wetzler report leads to the conclusion that the two
Slovakian Jews never laid eyes on the interior of the crematoria where the gas
chambers are supposed to have been located. In particular, they describe the Kremas
II and III of Birkenau (designated I and II in the report) as follows (15):

"From the midst of the oven room, a gigantic chimney rises into the sky.
Around are 9 ovens with 4 openings each. Every opening takes 3 normal
bodies at once, which are fully burnt within one a half hours... On the flat roof
are 3 openings, which can be hermetically sealed from the outside by means of
lids. From the gas chamber, rails lead through the hall to the oven room...
After 3 minutes, everyone in the chamber is dead... The chambers are then
ventilated, aired, and the Sonderkommando takes the bodies on railway cars to
the oven room, where the cremation takes place."

First, the two Kremas didn't have "9 ovens with 4 openings each", but rather, five
three-muffle ovens; secondly, there were no "3 windows which can be hermetically
sealed from the outside by means of lids" on the roof of the morgue I (the "gas

106

chamber. The adjacent illustration, Fig. IX, shows the doors of the gas chamber of the
main camp of Auschwitz. These pictures speak volumes. The sealing of the death
chamber and the disposal of the gas would be an impossibility, and the first mass
gassing would have turned into a catastrophe for the SS.

The practical dangers of the use of hydrocyanic acid are revealed in the following
report, which appeared in the local newspaper, the Boeblinger Bote of 16 November
1995 (and no doubt in other newspapers as well):
"Pest Exterminators in Botch Job

"Three local residents were nearly asphyxiated while an infestation of wood
worm survived intact. This was the final score of a completely botched vermin
extermination job in a church in a Croatian holiday resort of Lovran in Rijeka.
Several hundred residents of the area had to be evacuated due to the pest
exterminators' botched job.

"The exterminators attempted to eradicate woodworm in the church of the
Holy Jurjaj using highly toxic gas in Lovran during the night. Improper
hermetic sealing of the church, however, allowed the gas to penetrate
surrounding houses in which people were asleep. 'Due to the sudden onset of
nausea, the people fortunately woke up immediately. Only this rescued them
from certain death', the local newspaper Vecernij reported. 'Nevertheless, three
residents suffered from severe intoxication. The Mayor decided to evacuate
the area. The pest exterminators were arrested, and the woodworm survived.'"

Robert Faurisson was the first to describe the technical impossibility of the mass
gassings in the areas designated as gas chambers with Zyklon B, as testified to by
eyewitnesses (26). The following sentence is a clear statement of the core of
Faurisson's argument (27):

"If the Nazi gas chambers were to work at all, they would have needed the
following: absolutely perfect hermetic sealing; a special introduction and
distribution system for the gas; a fantastic ventilation system to eliminate the
gas from the chambers after the mass murders; a system to neutralize the
exhausted gases; and then, quite separately, a device, incredibly clever in
design and construction, to eliminate the gas which would adhere stubbornly
to the bodies, making touching and carrying them a deadly business. The
ventilation and exhaustion of cyanide gas is very time-consuming and
difficult. It adheres to the human body, and penetrates the skin so easily that it
would be hazardous to touch the body of a person killed with high
concentrations of cyanide gas with the bare hands. Contact through the skin
alone may lead to intoxication."

These technical considerations refute all "eyewitness reports" on mass gassings with
Zyklon B without exception. That the inventors of the gas chamber lie had no
knowledge of chemistry and made the mistake of choosing an insecticide as the
murder weapon, was to prove a fateful error. First, an assembly line murder of human
beings utilizing this poison gas in the areas designated as the "gas chambers" at
Auschwitz would be impossible for technical reasons. In addition, the use of Zyklon

109

B in these premises, if any such had occurred, could be proven by a chemical analysis
of samples taken from the masonry, even today. The masonry samples would contain
significant quantities of cyanide residues, even after half a century, if mass gassings
had really taken place in the areas indicated as homicidal gas chambers. But
significant concentrations of cyanide residues are entirely absent (see the following
article, points a and b).

Zyklon B is mentioned in the eyewitness reports, the confessions of the accused, trial
records, and history books. The exterminationists would dearly like to forget about it,
and substitute something else, but it is too late. The lie will stick in their throats, and
the liars will choke on their own poison.

CHAPTER XI
 
AUSCHWITZ: SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF THE
CRIME SCENE

The Leuchter Report

During Ernst Zündel's appeal trial (1988) Zündel and Faurisson assigned the US gas
chamber specialist Fred Leuchter, responsible for the construction of the gas
chambers for the execution of criminals as used in several states, to write a report on
the areas designated as gas chambers in Auschwitz I, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and
Majdanek. Leuchter flew to Poland with a small crew in February 1988, and made the
necessary examinations in the former concentration camps. He then drew up the
Leuchter Report, the first forensic report on the murder weapon in the "greatest mass
murder of history" (1). The conclusions were divided into three principal sections:

- the "gas chambers" were never planned as such, and could not be used as such due
to its features of technical construction;

- the capacity of the crematoria would have been insufficient to cremate more than a
small fraction of the alleged victims;

- the analysis of mortar samples taken from the walls of the "gas chambers" (and
analysed, not by Leuchter, but by an independent laboratory chemist named James
Roth) showed no significant quantities, or insignificantly small quantities, of cyanide
residue; the findings of the analysis did however indicate an enormously high cyanide
content in a sample taken from a delousing chamber at Birkenau, a chamber which is
acknowledged to have been simply a delousing chamber.

The Leuchter Report does have undeniable weak points; for example, he erroneously
states that the "gas chambers" possessed no ventilation system, and his data on the
crematory capacity is faulty, since he had no competence in that field. The
exterminationists could have exploited these weaknesses in the Leuchter Report, but
neglected to do so due to a lack of competence on their part. They therefore directed
their attacks chiefly against Leuchter personally.

Although the Leuchter report is out of date, its effectiveness as an ice-breaker can
hardly be overestimated, since it inspired the later, much more detailed, report by
Germar Rudolf.

112

The Rudolf Report

Germar Rudolf, a certified chemist employed at the Max-Planck Institut, has verified
the Leuchter Report in a detailed report of his own (2). He came to the conclusion that
the alleged mass gassings in Auschwitz could not have occurred due to technical
construction features and chemistry.

a) A study of the technical construction features

Examinations of the technical construction are principally concerned with the alleged
Zyklon B introduction holes in the areas designated as "execution chambers" in
Krematorium I (main camp) as well as II and III (Birkenau) of Auschwitz. Pressac
assumes that the crematoria were originally designed without criminal intent, i.e.,
planned only for the cremation of corpses, particularly the victims of epidemic
disease. The gas chambers are alleged to have been installed there only later, by
piercing Zyklon introduction holes in the roofs of the morgues. As usual, the "proof"
of these assertions consisted of the usual contradictory eyewitness testimonies.

In the autumn of 1944, after having been put out of operation in July 1943,
Krematorium I of the main camp was converted into an air raid shelter through the
installation of a few partitions. The Zyklon B introduction holes are supposed to have
been sealed at that time. After the end of the war, the officials of the Auschwitz
Museum attempted to "recreate" the original conditions, but in so doing, they made so
many mistakes that the French magazine L'Express (25 January 1995) commented
angrily that "everything in it is a fake". For example, the washrooms adjoining the
original morgue ("gas chamber") were incorporated into the new, reconstructed
museum "gas chamber", presumably to make it bigger and more terrifying. During the
reconstruction, the "Zyklon B introduction holes" visible today were also broken
through the roof, but not in the original locations, which are alleged to be unknown. If
any other openings had ever existed in the reinforced concrete ceiling, there would
have been visible damage to the concrete structure of the unplastered ceiling at the
corresponding locations. No such previously existing, but now sealed, Zyklon B
introduction holes exist. The "Zyklon B introduction ports" testified to by
"eyewitnesses" never existed; therefore Zyklon B poison gas could not have been
introduced in the manner described. 

Allied air photos are often produced as evidence of the existence of Zyklon B
introduction holes in the roofs of morgue I of Krematoria II and III at Birkenau -- the
buildings containing the alleged "gas chambers". But to the critical observer, it is
obvious that the "shadows" on the roofs of morgues I of both crematoria could not
have been caused by Zyklon B introduction holes:

- the alignment of the shadows is not consistent with the alignment of the shadows of
the crematory chimneys;

- on a picture taken on 13 September 1944, the spots on Krematorium III retain their
initial direction and shape, although the sun has changed position;

- in the same picture, the spots on the morgue I of Krema III are missing;

113

- the length of the shadows indicate that they were thrown by objects 3 to 4 metres
higher than the roof and 1.5 metres wide, i.e., that they are the shadows of large
chimneys; they are not, however, the shadows of the Zyklon B introduction ports with
lids existing at the present time, which are approximately 50 cm high;

- the only two holes to be found in the ceiling of morgue I of Krema II are entirely
different, in both location and size.

Both the above mentioned holes bear visible chisel marks along the edges, an
indication that the holes were broken through the roof at a later time. Furthermore,
one of the holes is completely intact, although it should have been totally destroyed
when the building was blown up by the SS in early 1945. In addition, the
reinforcement rods running through the hole have not been removed, so that their use
as Zyklon introduction ports is impossible. It is absolutely certain that these holes
were made after the end of the war, to create the illusion of Zyklon B introduction
holes.

To summarize, it is therefore established that there was no way to introduce the
poison gas into the alleged gas chambers of Krematoria I and II and III at Auschwitz
and Birkenau in the manner described by the witnesses. Faurisson is right when he
says, "No holes, no Holocaust." All other considerations relating to the chemistry of
the alleged "mass murders with poison gas" are, therefore, simply theoretical
exercises.

b) The chemical analyses
First a few remarks on hydrocyanic acid. Hydrocyanic acid must be used in high
concentrations (1 % by volume) for several hours' application time to kill the most
resistant lice, larvae and eggs with certainty and without special technology. If,
however, special technology (circulation procedure) is utilized, enabling the gas to
penetrate the minutest cracks and borders of the clothing to be fumigated, the process
can be performed in considerably shorter periods of time and with lower
concentrations (0.5% by volume and one hour exposure).

This is the only procedure comparable to the gassing of human beings. Human beings
are warm-blooded, and more susceptible to hydrocyanic acid gas than insects, in
addition to which the hydrocyanic acid gas reaches the victims in an execution gas
chamber immediately. Executions in the USA have showed that the victim may take
more than 15 minutes to die (The News and Observer, Raleigh, North Carolina, 19
June 1994).

Zyklon B insecticide releases its gas slowly, especially when the ambient air is
saturated with humidity, as it must have been if the room was cram-packed with
human beings. In such cases, the preparation would only have given off 5 - 10% of its
content after 10 minutes, 20 - 30% after half an hour, and 50% of its content after one
hour (see, in this regard, R. Irmscher, Zeitschrift für hygienische Zoologie und
Schädlingsbekämpfung, 1942, p. 36). To kill the victims in a few minutes in
accordance with the eyewitness testimonies would have required ridiculously large
quantities of Zyklon. Under these circumstances, the area would have been exposed to
very high concentrations of hydrocyanic acid, comparable to those of a delousing

114

chamber. Furthermore, a ventilation of the chambers could only have taken place
many hours after complete release of all the gas. Thus, the exposure times and contact
concentrations between the poison gas and the walls of the chamber would have
corresponded to those of the delousing chamber. 

Hydrocyanic acid forms a extremely stable pigment (ferric-ferrocyanide) with the
iron-bearing components of the masonry itself. This pigment decomposes over time,
but in a period comparable to the decomposition of the masonry itself, as shown by
long-term experiments over decades. High concentrations of cyanide compounds can
still be found in the delousing chambers of Birkenau and Majdanek. Cases in which
extensive damage has been caused by these ferric-ferrocyanide compounds during
gassings with hydrocyanic acid gas to destroy vermin are reported in the technical
literature (for example, G. Zimmermann, Bauschaeden Sammlung, Band 4, Forum-
Verlag, Stuttgart 1981, p. 120 ff.).

Analyses of samples from the alleged gas chambers, professional delousing chambers,
and other buildings at Auschwitz have shown that the delousing chambers are the
only structures to exhibit significant, or even extremely high, residues of
hydrocyanide compounds. 

It therefore appears certain that, due to the technical construction features of the
alleged "execution gas chambers", especially Krematoria II and III -- (humid, cool
cellar areas; entry into operation shortly after construction; alkaline, highly-absorbant
cement plaster; mediocre ventilation), as well as the conditions described by
eyewitnesses (use of very high cyanide concentrations) -- that cyanide residues
similar to those found in the delousing chambers should have formed precisely in the
areas designated as "homicidal gas chambers", if mass gassings had really taken
place. But no significant residues are found there.

This leads to the inescapable conclusion that no mass gassings of human beings ever
took place in the areas in question.

So much for Rudolf's conclusions. While the exterminationists have never even
attempted to examine Rudolf's arguments relating to technical construction features,
they have made all sorts of clumsy attempts to counter his chemical demonstrations.
Their favourite argument is that the victims inhaled the entire quantity of hydrocyanic
acid before they died (3). The Third Reich must obviously have possessed remote-
controlled, heat-seeking hydrocyanic acid molecules which shot directly into the
mouths and nostrils of the victims upon orders from the SS, and never even came into
contact with the walls of the chamber (4). Moreover, the granulate, as noted above,
continues to release its poisonous vapour for at least two hours; but according to the
eyewitnesses, all the victims were dead after half an hour at most. Did the corpses
continue to inhale the gas for another hour and a half?

The objections raised against Rudolf's expert report by a chemist named Dr. Josef
Bailer (5) were answered by Rudolf personally (6), so that interested persons may
compare the arguments on both sides.

In the absence of any conclusive arguments, the exploiters of the gas chamber legend
could only resort to a personal vendetta against Rudolf. On the order of the Central

115

Jewish Council, he was fired from the Max-Planck Institut and sentenced to 14
months imprisonment for insulting Jews, slandering the dead, incitement to racial
hatred, and other Kafkaesque points of the indictment (7). On the prior history of the
trial, see the brochure by Wilhelm Schlesinger (8), as well as Rudolf's own account,
published two years later (9); both accounts show how "free democracy" deals with
independent thinkers with critical minds.

In May 1996, Rudolf received a summons to appear for another trial, against the
publishers and authors of the Grabert anthology Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte. But
Rudolf had already turned his back on the "freest state in German history".

c) Carlo Mattogno and Franco Deana: the crematoria
The last large gap in technical holocaust research was filled by the Italian researcher
Carlo Mattogno. 

Mattogno studied the following:

- the real maximum capacity of the crematoria in view of the operating time periods
(due to technical defects, the installations were in constant need of overhaul, so that
all five crematoria never functioned simultaneously at any time);

- the coke deliveries to the Auschwitz crematoria; the quantities of coke delivered are
known with absolute certainty for most of the camp's existence; since we know the
average coke required for the cremation of one body, the maximum number of
cremations may be calculated for any given period;

- the fact that the fire-resistant refractory brick masonry in the crematory ovens was
never replaced, which would have been necessary after 3,000 cremations at the most. 

- the technical impossibility of mass cremation of corpses in ditches as described by
eyewitnesses.

Mattogno comes to the conclusion that the crematoria could have cremated 162,000
bodies at most. When we consider that Mattogno estimates the number of Auschwitz
victims, based on the available documents, at approximately 170,000 (11), and that
many thousands of typhus victims were doubtlessly burned in the open (on pyres, not
in ditches), the picture is complete.

These studies are conclusive. An anti-revisionist anthology entitled Wahrheit und
Auschwitzlüge published in 1995 by Simon Wiesenthal, Wolfgang Benz, Wolfgang
Neugebauer, Josef Bailer, Brigitte Bailer-Galanda and others, fails to mention these
studies with so much as a single line. Only that corpses in Auschwitz burnt "all by
themselves", as testified by that incredible Holocaust survivor, Henryk Tauber.

John Ball's Evaluation of the air photos

From December 1943, the Auschwitz camp complex was photographed repeatedly by
Allied reconnaissance planes (doubtless due to its economic significance: Monowitz
camp, east of the main camp, was the location of branches of numerous firms, of

116

which IG Farben was the most well-known). Several of these photos fall into time
periods during which, according to the eyewitnesses, mass murders were being
carried on. The most important photo is dated 31 March 1944 (Fig. XXX). 

At that time, the extermination of Hungarian Jews was supposed to be running full
tilt: 400,000 people are supposed to have been gassed between May and July and, for
the most part, burnt in the open. None of the events reported by eyewitnesses is
visible in the photo. There are no lines of people waiting before the crematoria; no
gigantic, blazing fires; no smoke-blackened sky. There is no sign of the gigantic piles
of wood and coke which would have been necessary for the cremation of 400,000
corpses in less than two months.

The Canadian air photo specialist John Ball has worked on the evaluation of the
photos (13). His studies administer the coup de grace to a focal point of the Auschwitz
legend, the alleged extermination of the Hungarian Jews.

non-existence of the gas vans. The evidence for their existence will be discussed in
the next chapter.

Sobibor

Sobibor is mentioned in a short exchange of correspondence between Heinrich
Himmler and the Inspector of Concentration Camps, Richard Glücks from 1943.
Glücks suggested converting Sobibor into a "concentration camp". Himmler rejected
this suggestion on 5 July 1943 (8). So what kind of camp was it? The
exterminationists say it was an extermination camp. The number of victims is
generally estimated at 200,000 to 250,000 victims. With regards to the murder
weapon, it took decades for the ruling cliques in the world to decide which one it was.
One of the eyewitnesses, a Soviet Jew named Alexander Pechersky, described the
mass murders as follows (9):

"At first glance, as one entered, it like a normal shower: hot and cold taps for
running water, wash basins... as soon as everyone was inside, the doors
slammed shut with a loud noise. Out of holes in the ceiling, a heavy, blackish
substance poured down in spiral shapes..."

To drown out the pitiful cries of the victims, the Germans at Sobibor kept a flock of
geese [!] which were made to quack (or whatever noise it is that is made by geese),
very loudly, whenever the blackish substance was introduced (10). Historians were
not too hot on this version, so they soon changed it into a gas chamber yarn.
According to Poliakov, the murder weapon was a Diesel motor (11); Hilberg replaced
the Diesel motor with a gasoline motor (12); the Enzyklopaedie des Holocaust finally
put an end to the debate by declaring that the murder weapon was a Diesel motor, and
that settles it (13).

Sobibor and Chelmno play quite a subordinate role in Holocaust propaganda. The
names are often unknown, even to people familiar with contemporary history.

Belzec

600,000 Jews are supposed to have been murdered in Belzec between March and
December 1942. According to which "historian" you read, between one and five Jews
survived the camp (14), so that the monstrous Nazi machine proved itself especially
efficient at Belzec. Star witness for the mass murders at Belzec is naturally Kurt
Gerstein, who, it will be remembered, reported 20 - 25 million gassing victims, 35 -
40 m high piles of shoes and underwear, and 28 - 32 gas chamber inmates per square
metre. Apart from Gerstein, there is only one "witness" to the gas chamber, a Polish
Jew named Rudolf Reder, who is supposed to be one of the one to five survivors of
the camp. Reder, however, spoke of three million gassing victims at Belzec (15).
For decades, the murder weapon at Belzec was supposed to have been a Diesel motor.
During the initial development phase of the Holocaust yarn, nevertheless, all sorts of
imaginable variants on this tale were current, ranging from Dr. Stefan Szende's
submergible platforms to Jan Karski's quicklime cars, and even an electrical oven
mentioned by Abraham Silberschein (16). All these tales have since disappeared into
the rubbish bin of history.

120

Treblinka
For the largest of the "pure extermination camps", the exterminationists throw
numbers around ranging from 750,000 to 3,000,000. At the Jerusalem trial of John
Demjanjuk (17), there was talk of 875,000.

According to the classic book Die Hölle von Treblinka by the Soviet Jew Vassily
Grossman (18), the following methods of murder were used:

- suffocation of the victims by pumping air out of the death chambers. This
technically quite impossible horror story -- the chambers would have collapsed due to
the underpressure -- immediately disappeared from the arsenal of the Holocaust
propagandists; 

- baking the victims with hot steam. This variant was decided upon by the Nuremberg
tribunal on 14 December 1945 (Nuremberg Document PS-3311);

- killing them with Diesel exhaust gas. This variant pushed the others off the stage of
history. In February 1946, a Jew named Samuel Rajzman testified at Nuremberg that,
in Treblinka, there were three, later, however, another ten additional gas chambers
(Nuremberg trial transcript IMT VIII p. 361, German text). Since then, the
exterminationists no longer wish to hear anything about the "steam chambers" (also
described at Nuremberg three months earlier), or the air-pumping vacuum chambers,
or the chlorine executions and assembly line shootings at Treblinka, of which there
was some talk for a while (19).

As at Chelmno, Sobibor and Belzec, the bodies at Treblinka are supposed to have
been buried in mass graves, but dug up in 1943 and cremated without a trace under
the open sky. The Israeli "specialist" Y. Arad reported (20).

"The men responsible for the cremations noted immediately that the bodies
burnt well, even without additional fuel."

This method is supposed to have been developed by a technically ingenious SS man
by the name of Herbert Floss, who is said to have discovered that old bodies of fat
women burnt best. He then used these ideally combustible cadavers as fuel for the
others (21). It is unfortunate that this efficient method of corpse destruction has not
yet been discovered by the inhabitants of the Indian sub-continent, who have chopped
down a large part of their forests just to burn corpses. Perhaps the reason for it is that
bodies only burn by themselves under the SS system of hatred and violence; under
"free-democratic" conditions, they just won't burn by themselves, due to their high
water content (over 60%).

According to documentation drawn up during the war by Jewish groups, there were
10 gas chambers in Treblinka, which could hold a total of 6,000 men at a time. The
path to these death chambers was surrounded by hedges and only 1.5 m wide (22),
which means, that only two men could march side by side. Assuming an interval of
half a metre between every person marching and the person in front, this would mean
a line of people waiting 2 kilometres long! According to Adalbert Rückerl, the former
director of the Ludwigsburg Central Office for the Prosecution of NS Crimes, there

121

were only 35 to 40 SS men employed at Treblinka (23), which means that each SS
man was responsible for at least 150 Jews! Fortunately, the Jews proved unusually
cooperative; instead of running away or overpowering the pair of SS men, they
marched, according to a witness at the Düsseldorf Treblinka Trial, "naked and meekly
into the gas chamber" (24).

During the Jerusalem trial against John Demjanjuk, Treblinka returned to the spotlight
of the world's attention. Demjanjuk, a US citizen of Ukranian-origin and automobile
worker, was extradited from the United States in violation of all democratic
procedures to Israel, where he was hauled before the court as "Ivan the Terrible",
murderer of hundreds of thousands at Treblinka. Five Jewish "eyewitnesses" swore
they had seen him pushing Jews into the gas chambers after cutting off their ears,
cutting women's breasts off with a sword, and cutting open the stomachs of pregnant
women with a sword. Demjanjuk was first sentenced to death, but was acquitted on
appeal for lack of proof, and released in September 1993; once again proving the
"credibility" of such eyewitnesses (25).
The scientific studies

a) Friedrich Paul Berg's study of the murder weapon

The alleged murder weapon in the four pure extermination camps, the Diesel motor,
has been studied chiefly by the German-American engineer Friedrich Paul Berg (26).
Berg clearly shows the technical absurdity of the Diesel motor legend:

It is, of course, not impossible, as some revisionists have erroneously reported, to kill
people with Diesel exhaust, but it is tedious and considerably inefficient, because
these exhaust gases are very poorly suited as murder weapons due to their high
oxygen and very low carbon monoxide content. While a gasoline motor can easily
produce exhaust with a carbon monoxide content of seven percent or more, a Diesel
motor cannot even produce a carbon monoxide concentration of one percent, even if
the motor is incorrectly adjusted to increase the carbon monoxide content. Ironically,
the introduction of Diesel exhaust gases into a chamber cram-packed with people
would only prolong the death struggle of the victims, since these gases contain an
oxygen content of approximately 16%, which is sufficient for survival. Instead of
introducing the exhaust gas, the executioners could have simply allowed them to
suffocate. In any case, all the available oxygen would have been breathed up before
the carbon monoxide took effect!

Any gasoline motor, not to mention the gas generators already mentioned elsewhere,
would have been incomparably more efficient as a murder weapon than a Diesel.

Exactly like the Zyklon B story, the Diesel story was quite obviously invented by
technical morons -- to the detriment of the exterminationists, since the Diesel motor
story is in the history books, and there's no way to make it disappear.

b) Arnulf Neumaier's study of the cremations
The manner in which the bodies at Treblinka were allegedly disposed of has been
studied in detail by the certified engineer Arnulf Neumaier (27). Neumaier assumes

122

875,000 bodies, the figure given at the Demjanjuk Trial. For Belzec and Sobibor,
where the cremations are supposed to have taken place on the same model, the
number of victims mentioned in the following must be reduced correspondingly.

To burn 875,000 bodies in the open would have required at least 200 kg wood per
corpse, i.e., a total of 195,000 tons. This is equivalent to a forest 6.4 km long and 1
km wide. The cremation actions, which are supposed to have lasted from early March
until late August 1943, would have required 2,800 wood cutters per day, assuming
that it takes one man to cut down one tree, cut the branches off, and saw it up.
According to Holocaust literature, there were only 500 "working Jews" in total at the
camp, only 25 of whom, according to a Holocaust survivor named Richard Glazar,
were on wood-cutting detail, i.e., less than 1 1/2% of the number required. Deforested
terrain of the corresponding size does not, and did not, exist in the vicinity of
Treblinka; the transport of 195,000 tons of wood to the camp would certainly have
been noted in the records of the Reichsbahn, if the wood had been brought from
someplace else.

Further, the 875,000 bodies would have left 2,900 tons of ashes in addition to 1,000
tons of wood ash. These ashes would have contained millions of unburnt pieces of
bone, in addition to 20 to 30 million teeth -- even if we assume that each of the
875,000 victims lacked one tooth on average. If the Soviets and the Poles had found
only a fraction of these ashes, bones, and teeth, they would have drummed an
international commission together with a huge blare of propaganda, and the entire
world would have been presented with the proof of German bestiality. So why didn't
they?

What were the "pure extermination camps" in reality?

Quite undisputedly, hundreds of thousands of Jews were deported to Treblinka after
the defeat of the revolt in the Warsaw Ghetto revolt alone. What kind of camp was
Treblinka?

Revisionists assume that it was a transit camp. It couldn't have been an extermination
camp in which the arriving Jews were gassed and burned, because of the technical
impossibility of mass gassings with carbon monoxide and cremations using the
methods described, quite apart from the fact that the "eyewitness testimony" as to the
properties of the camp are not in accordance with the air photos. Nor was it a work
camp, since it was much too small to hold to these masses of people. (We are
speaking here of the "extermination camp", also called Treblinka 2. Hardly three
kilometers away lay so-called Treblinka 1, which was quite undisputedly a work
camp, and has never played any role in the holocaust literature.) 

The transit camp theory is also supported by the fact that Jews are known to have
been deported from Treblinka to other camps. Holocaust literature even mentions
Jews who were transferred from Treblinka to Majdanek (29). Why all these
unnecessary transports from one "extermination camp" to another?

Presumably, Treblinka served as a transit camp on the way to settlements located
further east in the Baltic and White Russia); the existence of these settlements is
admitted even by authors like Reitlinger and Hilberg.

123

In our view, Sobibor and Belzec were transit camps, too; this is supported, among
other things, by their location in the outermost east of the General Gouvernement. A
clue to this possibility, with regards to Belzec, is furnished by a German document
dated 17 March 1942, stating that the Jews "were sent over the border and were not to
come back" (30).

Chelmno was presumably a transit camp, too, and was located in the Warthegau;
according to the Korherr report, many Jews were transferred from this area to the
Eastern regions.

Did the Germans destroy the documents relating to these camps, as stated in
Holocaust literature? We cannot exclude this possibility. But if so, why did they
carelessly leave all the documentation from Auschwitz and Majdanek just lying
around to be captured? It seems much more probable to us that the documents were
either destroyed by the Soviets or the Poles, or that they were stored in a safe place
because they contradicted the extermination legend. Some interesting revelations may
be expected over the coming years.

CHAPTER XIII
 
THE GAS VANS AND MASS SHOOTINGS

The gas vans

The so-called gas vans are supposed to have been used for the extermination of Jews
in Serbia and Russia, in addition to their use at Chelmno. Kogon/Langbein/Rückerl, in
their book Nationalsozialistische Massentötungen durch Giftgas, discuss these vans at
considerable length, for a total of 64 pages (1). 

In reading the above books, the observant reader will note the following
inconsistencies:

- no physical evidence at all is produced for the existence of these vehicles. There
have never been any reports of the capture of such a vehicle, nor its presentation in
evidence in any trial. Perhaps this is the reason why no illustration of any gas van ever
appears in the literature.

- there are only two (alleged) documentary proofs of the existence of the gas vans;

- all the other "evidence" consists of "eyewitness testimony".

Two leading German revisionists, Ingrid Weckert and Udo Walendy, have made a
particular study of the two particular documents which are supposed to prove the
existence of the gas vans (2). A detailed study by the French automobile builder
Pierre Marais appeared in 1994 (3).

Let we consider the first of these two documents. It was introduced at Nuremberg
under number PS-501. This is allegedly a letter supposedly written by a Lt. Dr.
Becker to Walter Rauff, Leader of Section II D, Technical Matters, of the Reichs
Security Main Office (RSHA). The document discusses technical deficiencies in the
murder vans. We will quote a couple of sentences from the original text, paying
careful attention to the original style of the German (4). 

"I furthermore order that all men be kept as far away from the van as possible
when people are being gassed, so as to avoid endangering their health by
possibly out streaming gas. Upon this occasion, I would like to draw your
attention to the following: several Kommandos have had the vans unloaded by
their own men after the gassing. I have drawn the attention of the commander
of the Sonderkommando to the terrible damage to their emotions and health
which this work may have later, if not immediately, on the men... Despite this,
I will not deviate from this order, since it is feared that prisoners withdrawn

126

for the work may take a suitable opportunity to flee. In order to protect them
men from this danger, I request that corresponding orders be issued."

[Translator's note: the style of this is impossible to imitate in English.]
What German would write like that?
The letter is not signed. Instead of a signature, the name Becker is written by
typewriter. To the left of the typewritten signature stands the abbreviation (Sgd),
which means "signed" in English! Did SS men use English abbreviations when
writing letters to each other?

The various hand-written umlauts over the letters (ä) and (ö) leave no doubt about it:
the letter is a primitive forgery, probably from an American lie factories.

Hardly less pitiful is the second "documentary proof" for the gas vans, an alleged
letter from correspondence between the RSHA and the automobile firm Gaubschat.
The letter begins as follows (5):

"Berlin, 5 July 1942

Einzigste Ausfertigung ["Only copy"]

Regarding: technical changes in the special cars used in operation and found in
manufacturing themselves [sic].

Since December 1941 for example 97,000 were processed without the
appearance of defects in the vehicles." 

First, in correct German, it ought to read "einzige Ausfertigung" instead of "einzigste
Ausfertigung"; and secondly, it ought to say "an den in Herstellung befindlichen"
instead of "an den sich in der Herstellung Spezialwagen"; third, no normal person
begins a letter with "for example", and fourth: what the devil were they "processing"?

So much for the "documentary proofs": What the exterminationists offer us as "proof"
in terms of "eyewitness reports", is even more idiotic. Adalbert Rückerl outdoes
himself in appealing to eyewitness reports in German trials on the "extermination"
camp of Chelmno (6):

"These gas vans were large, grey-painted lorries of foreign manufacturer, with
closed chassis construction, separated from the driver's compartment, and
approximately 2 m wide, 2 m high, and 4 m long... The Sonderkommando had
three of these available, two of which were in constant use, and the third used
temporarily."

According to which historian you read, between 150,000 and 1.35 million Jews were
gassed in two -- or, temporarily, three -- gas vans, with a useful surface area,
according to the above, of 16 m2. Rückerl furthermore permits a witness named
Johann I. to report as follows: (7):

127

shown massive topographical changes. These are in no way revealed by the air
photos. 

So the mass murder of Babi Yar turns out to be just another swindle. No other
accusation of crime made against the Germans on the Eastern front has been made
with such great propaganda effect; no other atrocity is supposed to have claimed so
many victims. Since this invented massacre appears in the Einsatzgruppen reports, the
reports were either totally falsified, or at least manipulated on a massive scale. Thus
the only "documentary evidence" of the millions of murders on the Eastern front
crashes to the ground.

CHAPTER XV
 
WHERE DID THEY GO?

The origins of the mythical Six Million figure

The mythical Six Million figure naturally collapses with the gas chambers and gas
vans, since we now must subtract 2.7 to 5.37 million gassing victims, according to
which historian we read (1). Let us look at the history of the origin of the Six Million
figure.

First of all, the Six Million figure is based on the confessions of two National
Socialists of only minor importance, namely Dieter Wisliceny and Wilhelm Höttl.
Wisliceny, Gestapo leader of Bratislava, gave his confession first at Nuremberg and
then again in Communist Czechoslovakian imprisonment. The value of such
confessions is nil.

Wilhelm Höttl was a collaborator of Adolf Eichmann in the section for the Jewish
Question of the RSHA (Reichs Main Security Office). He pretended to have heard the
six million figure from Adolf Eichmann (2). The latter then disappeared, and Höttl
took the opportunity to place himself in a favourable light by accusing Germany in
any manner desired. This was rewarded, since he was never again bothered.
Eichmann was kidnapped from Argentine exile in 1960 in violation of international
law, and an ordinary bureaucrat was transformed into a "monster of the century" in a
show trial played out before the entire world. Eichmann was executed, i.e., murdered,
in 1962.

If we go back to 1942, we discover the remarkable fact that the Zionist activist
Nahum Goldman, later President of the Jewish World Congress, had already reported,
in May of that year, at an event in the Biltmore Hotel in New York, that, of eight
million Jews in Hitler's tyranny, only two to three million had survived (4). But the
Holocaust was allegedly only just beginning. How did Goldman know the exact
number of Jews to be killed in the future?

Our astonishment takes on huge proportions when we find an article from the 31
October 1919 in the US Jewish newspaper The American Hebrew (Fig. XXX).

The article mentions a "Holocaust" (sic!) of "Six Million Jewish men, women, and
children". How and where this Holocaust is supposed to have taken place, is not even
apparent from this feeble-minded drivel, but the Six Million figure appears no fewer
than seven times!

132

At this point, if not before, the suspicion becomes a certainty: Six is the holy figure of
Judaism, and the Six Million figure is, therefore, a delusion probably derived from the
Talmud.
Wolfgang Benz and Walter Sanning

If we keep in mind the overwhelming importance played by the Six Million figure in
the propaganda of the past five decades, it is surprising that one single remotely
scientific attempt has ever been made to support it. In 1991, a large book appeared
under the name of Dimension des Völkermords, edited by a collective of authors
under the leadership of the professional anti-anti-Semite Wolfgang Benz (head of the
Institute for Research on Anti-Semitism in Berlin), according to which between 5.29
and 6.01 million Jews were killed in the Third Reich (5). In his study Die Auflösung
(6) published eight years before, the German-American Walter Sanning came to the
conclusion that there were never more than a few hundred thousand Jews were ever in
German-controlled Europe.

Since the books of Benz and Sanning, as well as an accurate comparison of both
works by Germar Rudolf (7), are available to everyone, we will satisfy ourselves with
only a few sentences on this topic here.

In order to arrive at the figure of Six Million dead Jews, Benz and his team indulge in
all sorts of manipulations, such as double counting, resulting from the shifting of
territories during the Second World War. Rudolf shows that Benz is guilty of counting
533,193 people twice. In addition, the Polish Jewish victims of Stalinist purges and
deportations are calmly added to the German side of the ledger. The number of Polish
Jews at the beginning of the war is exaggerated by 700,000. In addition, which is
worse, Benz acts as if no Jewish emigration ever took place: every Jew who no longer
lived in the same place after the war, is simply counted as "exterminated"! If this were
true, a book like Exodus by Leon Uris could never have been written.

In contrast to Benz, Sanning pays Jewish emigration the attention it deserves. His
book, based almost entirely on Jewish and Allied sources, shows that approximately
1.5 million Jews emigrated to the USA, to South America, Australia, etc. after 1945.

Of course, these one and a half million post-war emigrants do not yet solve the
statistical problem. The solution to the riddle is to be found in the USSR. According
to the census of 17 January 1939, the Soviet empire had 3.02 million Jews. The first
post-war census, in 1959, showed only 2.267 million, but the Zionists all agree that
this figure is unrealistically low. First, every Soviet citizen could list his nationality as
he wished; wholly or partially assimilated Jews often called themselves simply
"Russians", and secondly, the Soviet regime had an obvious motive to support the
Holocaust story by deliberately reducing post-war Jewish population figures. On 1
July 1990, i.e., long after the beginning of the mass emigration of Soviet Jews to the
West, the New York Post, referring to Israeli specialists, spoke of over 5 million Jews
living in the Soviet Union. In view of the fact that natural increase on this scale for
this particular population group would have been impossible due to its progressive
trend towards assimilation and the very low Jewish birth rate, there must have been
nearly 6 million Jews in the USSR before the emigration, i.e., almost three million
"too many".

133

What happened? In 1939, after the division of Poland, a huge flood of Polish Jewish
refugees moved West to East. After the beginning of the German-Russian campaign,
most of the Soviet Jews, at least 80% of them according to Sanning, were evacuated,
and the German troops never even came into contact with them. In December 1942, a
David Bergelson, Secretary of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committees, reported in
Moscow (8):

"The evacuation has rescued the great majority of Jews from the Ukraine,
White Russia, Lithuania, and Latvia. According to information from Vitebsk,
Riga, and other large cities, which were captured by the fascists, only a few
Jews remained there, when the Germans invaded."

Thus, a large part of Polish as well as Baltic Jewry were absorbed by the USSR.
Nevertheless, a British-American Commission reported in February 1946, when
hundreds of thousands of Polish Jews had already moved west, that 800,000 Jews
were still living in Poland. (9).

So much for the myth of the "extermination of Polish Jewry" in the "extermination
camps".
The exemplary case of one "gassing victim": Jenny Spritzer

In his Mémorial de la Déportation des Juifs de France, Serge Klarsfeld calculates that
75,721 Jews were deported from France. To our knowledge, this figure is not disputed
by anyone. According to Klarsfeld, no more than 2,500 of them survived the war (10).
He found 2,200 such survivors in France, Belgium and elsewhere, 805 of whom
reported to the French Ministry of War Veterans at the end of 1945 and were
officially declared "survivors"; he rounds the number off at 2,500. 
The following, of course, are simply forgotten:

- Jews who only returned to France after 1945, and, for that reason, could not report to
the French Ministry of War Veterans at the end of 1945, and, for that very same
reason, do not appear on the "official survivor" list; 

- Jews who returned before the end of 1945, but did not report to the French Ministry
of War because they were in no way required to do so;

- Jews who simply never returned to France. This category must be by far the largest.
The overwhelming majority of Jews deported from France -- approximately 80% --
held foreign passports or were stateless persons with no ties to France. Faced with the
possibility of emigration overseas, most of them naturally preferred the latter to return
to a war-torn country. A book on Bergen-Belsen -- a camp which was used as a
reception camp for displaced persons after the war -- states that the Jews, who
represented the great majority of these displaced persons, almost always wanted to
emigrate to Palestine or another non-European country (11).

134

An exemplary case:

In his Mémorial, Klarsfeld writes that he found only 14 survivors of transport 8, and
that all the survivors were men (12). As a result, Klarsfeld assumes that all the other
members of this transport were gassed. But as shown by the Spanish revisionist
Enrique Aynat, there was also a woman among the survivors, a Jewess named Jenny
Spritzer (13). Spritzer was a native of Austria. Before the war, she emigrated to
Holland. When the Germans invaded Holland, she fled to Belgium and then emigrated
to France. In 1942, she was arrested in France while preparing to travel on to Spain,
and was deported to Auschwitz. After the war, she emigrated to Switzerland and
wrote her memoirs, slathering away about three to four million Auschwitz victims,
flames shooting out of crematoria chimneys, and gas streaming out of shower heads
(14).

As may be observed from the example of Jenny Spritzer, the fact that Jews deported
by the Germans did not necessarily return to their former place of residence, doesn't
necessarily prove that they were killed. Most of the Jews returning from German
camps or settlement areas in the East preferred the USA or Israel to their former
countries, and were then entered into the statistics as "gassing victims" or
"exterminated Jews".
Carl Nordling's research

The Swedish Professor Carl Nordling compared the fate of a total of 722 Jews,
mentioned in the Encyclopedia Judaica, who lived in areas of German controlled-
Europe (15). Of these Jews, 44% emigrated before the end of 1941, 13% died, 35%
remained unaffected by deportation or internment; the rest were deported or interned,
but survived.

If we assume 4.5 million Jews living in German-controlled Europe -- a majority of the
Polish Jews fled to the Soviet Union after the German attack on Poland 1939 -- and a
death rate of 13%, this means 600,000 victims. Sanning concludes a figure of
approximately half a million, the English revisionist Stephen Challen 750,000 (16).
The parts of the mosaic thus fit together into a more or less complete picture.
300,000 "Holocaust survivors" in Israel in 1996

Based on German actuarial statistics (i.e., a table from the Lexikon Institut
Bertelsmann, Ich sag dir alles, Guetersloh 1968), it is possible to determine just how
many people from a population group of all age groups (under conditions comparable
to those of the Bundesrepublik) must have been alive in 1945 if 750,000 of them are
still alive 51 years later. Germar Rudolf has done this in a still unpublished article
(17). As his starting point, he used the Amcha Report, prepared by an Israeli
foundation for the psychosocial care of Holocaust survivors, in which Amcha asked
all German mayors, in a circular letter on 22 August 1996, for a contribution for
300,000 surviving holocaust survivors.

Since only approximately 40% of the Jews who emigrated from Europe in 1945 or
later chose Israel as their new home, and since many Jews remained in Europe, the
world-wide "survivor" figure must be at least twice as high. Based on the statistics

135

mentioned above, it may be calculated that there were 3,500,000 surviving Jews in
former-German controlled Europe. Since according to Sannings' most meticulous
calculations, only 4,500,000 Jews could have been living in the territories in question
at the time of the greatest territorial expansion of the Third Reich, the Amcha Report
is further proof that the number of Jewish victims might have amounted to one million
at most, but most probably very much less.

Thus we arrive at the conclusion that between half a million and one million Jews lost
their lives during World War II. This conclusion is supported by four different studies
-- the Sannings study, Challens' research, the Nordling statistics, and the Amcha
report.
Questions still open

There is still a lot of work to do in the field of Jewish population shifts during World
War II and afterwards. For example, the question of how many Jews were deported
via Auschwitz and other transit camps to the transit camps in the occupied Eastern
territories, and what happened to the survivors after the war, remain unanswered.

That the Germans deported Jews to the territories in the East was known to the
Western allies by 1943 at the latest. In that year, the US demographer Eugene
Kulischer wrote a book about population shifts in Europe since the beginning of the
war (18), in which he emphasized that the ghettos and work camps of the East were
being increasingly used as destinations for Jews from Western Europe including
Poland.

Thus, the Jews transferred from the Warsaw Ghetto in the spring of 1942 were being
sent "to work camps on the Russian front, to work in the swamps near Pinsk or to the
ghettos of the Baltic, White Russian, or the Ukraine" (19). Well-informed observers
among the Allies never accepted the fairy tale of the extermination of the Jews in
"extermination camps" in the East; on the contrary, they were very quick to recognize
the true nature of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question".
The details, of course, remain largely in the dark.

After the valuable studies by Steffen Werner, Enrique Aynat, and Jean-Marie
Boisdefeu (20), a broad field remains open for the revisionists. No court historian will
ever do this work. No one knows where the documents are, if they still exist, or even
whether they were destroyed by the victorious Allies after the war.

CHAPTER XVI
 
THE INVISIBLE ELEPHANT

Several authors, principally Martin Gilbert, Walter Laqueur, and Jean-Claude Favez,
have occupied themselves with the question of what the Allies, the Vatican, and the
Red Cross knew about the fate of the Jews during the war (1). Their thick books
puzzle endlessly about why no one lifted a finger to rescue the Jews. It is said to be
unthinkable that no one in Washington, London and Moscow, in the Vatican, or in
Geneva, knew what was going on at Auschwitz and the other extermination camps. In
view of this fact, the American David Wyman openly expresses the suspicion that
they deliberately acquiesced in the extermination of the Jews (2). For this reason, the
German translator of the work gave it the title Das unverwunschte Volk [The
Unwanted People].

From 1942, innumerable rumours were current about the Jewish extermination in
Jewish or Jewish-controlled newspapers (3). But the atrocity stories about steam
chambers, gas chambers, gas vans, quicklime vans, underground electrical execution
installations etc. were no more taken seriously by the Allied governments than by the
International Red Cross or the Vatican. Even in August 1943 -- when, according to
the official version of history, millions of Jews had already been gassed -- the US
Secretary of State Cordell Hull asked the US Ambassador in Moscow by telegram to
delete any mention of the gas chambers from the draft of a joint-Allied declaration on
"German Crimes in Poland", since there was no proof of their existence (4).

In his richly documented book Auschwitz und die Allierten (Martin Gilbert states (5):

"The names and the geographical location of the extermination camps of
Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec were known in the Allied countries
by the summer of 1942 at the latest. On the other hand, the secret of the gas
chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau remained hidden from the first week of May
1942, when they were put into operation, until the third week of June of
1944."

As we noted earlier, there were extraordinarily large numbers of transfers from
Auschwitz to other camps, as well as releases -- even in early summer 1944, when the
extermination of the Jews is supposed to have reached its climax. Every single one of
these transferred or released inmates -- tens of thousands of civilian workers in total --
would have been eyewitnesses to the most systematic and brutal extermination of
human beings that the world ever saw, if the Holocaust story were true.

According to drawings based on ground and air photos by John Ball (see Fig. XII),
the alleged chief extermination locations -- Krema II of Birkenau -- was surrounded

CHAPTER XVII
 
THE NESSUS SHIRT

The Revenge of the Centaur

A Greek myth tells of the Centaur Nessus, who dared to lay a hand on Deianira, the
wife of Hercules, and was wounded by the enraged warrior with a deadly arrow
soaked in the poison of the Hydra.

As he was dying, Nessus begged Deianira to collect his blood and soak her garment in
it. If Hercules was ever untrue to her, she was to ask him to try on the garment. This
would renew his old love.

Deianira did as Nessus requested. One day, when Hercules turned away from her in
favour of a paramour, she remembered the Centaur's advice and asked Hercules to try
on the Nessus shirt. For a short time, the hero was pleased with the magnificent
garment. Then it began to burn into his flesh; he suffered horrible torment, but he
could not remove the cursed shirt. It clung to his body and could not be extinguished
as he perished in agony.

Those with more insight among Jewish leaders might well remember this tale from
Greek mythology. The Nessus shirt of the Jews is the lie of the gas chambers,
invented more than half a century ago by the Jews to revenge themselves upon the
wicked Pharaoh of Berlin who had broken the power of Zionism in Germany and
visited the Jews with deprivation of rights, confiscation of property, deportation, and
exile. After the war, the Zionists discovered that atrocity propaganda could be
continued to make a profit.

No matter how important German reparations may be for Israel and the Zionist
organizations, the immeasurable psychological benefits derived from the legend are
incomparably more important to the Jews. Before 1945, criticism of Jews was
permitted; since 1945, any criticism of Jews has been impossible. Any questioning of
Jewish methods and Jewish power, no matter how timid, is immediately branded as
anti-Semitism and may easily land a person in court or even prison.

The game could go on forever -- if it weren't for the revisionists! Just as the gas
chambers enabled Zionism to rise to unprecedented heights after 1945, the refutation
of the gas chamber lie, together with other factors which are beyond the scope of the
present work, will lead to the downfall of the Jews in the not too-distant future. The
same lie which has done such magnificent service as the miracle weapon of the
Zionists -- until now -- will [be] a millstone around their necks.

141

With the exposure of the lie, people will ask why we have been so shamelessly lied to
since 1945, and [in] whose interests. People will start to ask questions like: how did
WW II actually start? Who actually started it? What mysterious powers brought it
about? Were they the same mysterious powers that caused the First World War?

When that day comes, people will examine the real Holocausts of the twentieth
century, Holocausts claiming incomparably more lives -- the crimes of Marxism, and
the identity of the true Marxist leaders behind the scenes. Mr. Gunnar Heinsohn, who
is mentioned elsewhere in this work in another connection, nevertheless reveals a few
truths (almost despite himself) in his book Warum Auschwitz? These truths are
usually passed over in embarrassed silence. Heinsohn mentions that innumerable
millions of Soviet citizens fell victims of the Red Terror. Unfortunately, he forgets to
raise the question of the ethnic background of the butchers of the Soviet Union. Other
historians have done so. One is the Russian Yuri Begunov, who states that, in 1920,
83% of the Bolshevik leaders in the USSR were Jews (1). Or Alexander Solzhenitsyn,
who describes the six top architects of the Communist slave labour camp system in
the second volume of his Gulag Archipelago. Their names are Aron Solz, Naftali
Frenkel, Jakov Rappaport, Matwej Berman, Lazar Kogan, and Genrich Yagoda. All
six were Jews.

Facts like these will return to public discussion with a vengeance with the collapse of
the Holocaust house of cards. 
The refusal of the exterminationists to retreat one single inch

Until the second half of the 1960s, the official version of the Holocaust appeared
invincible. Of course, there were a handful of courageous men who denounced the lie.
In addition to the pioneer Paul Rassinier, the following authors should be mentioned -
- for example, Maurice Bardèche, who in the beginning naturally believed in the gas
chambers, and only considered the numbers to be exaggerated; Thies Christophersen
(author of the brochure Die Auschwitz Lüge), Emil Aretz, Erwin Schoenborn, Heinz
Roth, Dr. Franz Scheidl, Wolf Dieter Rothe, Richard Harwood, and a few others. But
their arguments were not scientific enough to achieve a breakthrough in the wall of
lies. The weakest point of the Holocaust story -- its technical absurdity -- was hardly
attacked by the early revisionists.

But the Holocaust bore its own refutation in itself because of its historical and
technical absurdity. Arthur Butz's The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, in which a US
electronics professor proved how the legend arose, was a decisive step forward in
revisionist research. In early 1979, Wilhelm Stäglich published Der Auschwitz
Mythos, mercilessly demonstrating the fragility of the Auschwitz image. Shortly
before, Robert Faurisson entered the scene with a few articles in which he referred to
the technical and physical impossibility of the gas chamber yarn. Together with
Ditlieb Felderer, who conducted on-the-spot research at the former "extermination
camps", at that time hardly taken into consideration, Faurisson was the pioneer of
material-scientific research on the Holocaust. Without Faurisson, no Leuchter;
without Leuchter, no Rudolf.

Butz, Stäglich, and Faurisson, in particular, sounded the death knell of the myth. Over
thirty years had elapsed since the end of the war, and the Zionists and their lackeys in

142

the politics, culture, the media, and the historical profession have made any retreat
impossible: the gas chambers had long since become a symbol of the unique depravity
of the National Socialists and the unique suffering of the Jews -- a symbol which
could not be jettisoned without threatening the foundations of the Orwellian world of
the Permanent Lie called "Free Democracy".

Thus, the profiteers of the Big Lie could only retreat forwards, in a full-scale suicide
attack. They have turned up the volume of Holocaust propaganda in the controlled
media to the point of insanity. The further the war retreated into the past, the more
feverish the incitement, the more desperately they attempted to force the passage of
totalitarian laws designed to destroy all freedom of expression and punish "thought
crimes" in more and more countries. Scientific revisionism has been criminalized in
the Banana Republik of Deutschland, as well as in Austria and France. Anti-
revisionist laws have also been passed in Belgium and Spain, but have not so far
(April 1997) led to any trials. A rubber-stamp anti-"racial discrimination" law with a
disguised anti-revisionist clause was passed in Switzerland in early 1995, and may
possibly lead to a trial against the present author, as well as against the publisher of
three of his books in 1997. But that's nowhere near enough, of course: Italy needs an
Auschwitz Law, too! In England, Labour has actually promised to pass such a law in
the event of its winning the election. Denmark is said to need such a law, and Sweden,
too -- not to mention, of course, the USA, where revisionism had made very rapid
progress thanks to the Institute for Historical Review and its highly effective director,
Mark Weber. Anti-revisionist thought-crimes laws are needed very, very urgently (or
so we are told): in the words of a desperate call for help (and fund-raising appeal)
from Jewish whisky billionaire Edgar Bronfman: "We need to stop revisionism before
it's too late!"

We hate to say so, but it's already too late, Bronfman. No doubt the Profiteers of the
Lie will put a few more revisionists in prison or even murder a few, if needs be, in the
short time remaining to those who profit from it -- but the breaking of the Zionist
information monopoly by means of the Internet, as well as spectacular conversions to
revisionism such as the Garaudy case, will speed up the demise of the Lie.

Of course, the Zionists now wish that they had only mentioned three million Jews
having died mostly of epidemics and malnutrition, instead of Six Million Jews, mostly
gassed. But the gas chambers with their millions of gassing victims not only appear in
the history books, school books, and dictionaries, but as a "proven fact" in court cases.
The Garaudy Case

Roger Garaudy is one of the most famous French philosophers. He has changed his
ideology on numerous occasions; he was a Catholic, a Protestant, a Stalinist
Communist (and as such a member of the Central Committee of the French
Communist Party) before he converted to Islam in the early 1980s. No one cared.
After all, we live in a "Free Democracy"; we enjoy freedom of opinion and freedom
of religion, you know. Garaudy had published over 40 books by the end of 1995;
publishing houses competed for the privilege of decking their shelves with his books.
But this book -- Les Mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne -- found no
publisher other than Pierre Guillaume's La Vieille Taupe, largely operating
underground, which distributed the first edition of the work as "a confidential bulletin

143

to its friends". Part of the work concerned itself with religious questions, such as the
Zionist policies in Palestine, but the core of the book (the Myth of the Justice of
Nuremberg, The Myth of the Holocaust), was clearly revisionist. Garaudy showed the
fragility of the proofs presented for the Holocaust, explained the Six Million figure as
a crass exaggeration, and, without expressly disputing the existence of the gas
chambers, tacitly made it clear that he did not believe in them. For those familiar with
the material, the Garaudy book offered nothing new; the illustrious philosopher had
simply copied from other revisionists, particularly Faurisson, without, of course,
mentioning his sources, as scientific decency would have required. In the second
edition, which was self-published in the spring of 1996, Garaudy defused the
revisionist part of the book, without advising the reader that he had done so. Thus, all
references to Butz, Stäglich, and Faurisson -- briefly mentioned in the first edition --
disappeared without a trace in the second edition. Garaudy enjoyed the peculiarity of
being a revisionist who, because of his Communist past, could not possibly be
dismissed as a Neo-Nazi. The French Zionist mafia howled like a dog whose tail has
been trodden on; for months, the media dragged Garaudy through the mire, without,
of course, the slightest discussion of the content of his book. Above all, the
professional liars kept quiet about the fact that Garaudy doubted the existence of the
gas chambers. The situation became even more dangerous for the exterminationists
when a cult figure of the Left, the Franciscan priest Abbé Pierre, declared his
solidarity with Garaudy in April 1995. Abbé Pierre knew nothing about revisionism,
and still knows nothing; to him, it was a matter of freedom of opinion. The Abbé, who
is unfortunately a bit short on courage, was frightened into retreating in the face of the
witch hunt which now exploded all around him, and begged forgiveness, after
showing some feeble resistance at the outset; in July, he finally debased himself
before the Jews (La Croix, 23 July 1996). As the result of the Garaudy/Abbé Pierre
affaire, the broad masses of the French population knew, for the first time, that
freedom of opinion had been abolished in their country, and that a minority of perhaps
two percent of the French population prescribes what the other 98% may say, write,
read, and think. In the meantime, increasing numbers of well-known people are
demanding the abolition of the anti-revisionist Law Gayssot, including Simone Weil,
in the newspaper L'Evenement du Jeudi, 27 June 1996. (Weil is a Jewish "mass
gassing victim" who was later discovered to be alive after all, and become President
of the European Parliament.) For more information on the Garaudy/Abbé Pierre
affair, see the article by Robert Faurisson on the Internet (3).
The confession of an orthodox historian

The French historian Jacques Baynac, a rabid enemy of revisionism, became the first
orthodox historian anywhere to admit that there is no proof of the existence of the
Nazi gas chambers. This spectacular admission appeared in two consecutive articles
in the Lausanne, Switzerland, daily newspaper, Le Nouveau Quotidien of 2 and 3
September 1996. The second of the series of two articles read in part:

"Either we grant predominance to documents as against eyewitness testimony,
and in this case, we can stop calling the historiography a science and start
calling it an art; or we can stick to the predominance of documents, and in this
case, we must admit that the absence of documents implies the impossibility
of presenting direct proof of the existence of the homicidal gas chambers."

144

Robert Faurisson comments on this admission as follows (4):

"Jacques Baynac: There's no proof, but I believe it. Robert Faurisson: There's
no proof, so I don't believe it." 

For the first: Freedom of expression. For the second: Imprisonment for a term
of up to one year; fines of up to 300,000 francs, as well as other penalties."

Roger Garaudy is supposed to appear in court in France in 1997. A new trial is
scheduled for Robert Faurisson (his eleventh so far). In the country which produced a
Voltaire, men are hauled into court because they dare to doubt (Garaudy) or dispute
(Faurisson) the reality of something -- a "Nazi gas chamber" -- whose existence
cannot even be proven, according to the admission of an orthodox, anti-revisionist
historian! 
Korzec and Goldhagen: a new version of the lie

Even before the Garaudy affair, the Zionists understood that it was time to jettison the
ballast. The second Pressac book, in which the number of Auschwitz victims was
massively reduced, was [an] attempt to do this. The Jewish professor Michel Korzec
and Daniel J. Goldhagen went significantly further in late 1995 and the spring of
1996, respectively, by abruptly declaring the gas chambers to be merely a peripheral
phenomena, without, of course, ever reducing the total number of five to six million
Holocaust victims. On 15 December 1995, a long article by Michel Korzec, a Jew of
Polish origins, appeared in the Dutch newspaper Intermediair, the title of which, in
translation, was "The Myth of the Efficient Mass Murder", and in which the number
of gassed Jews was reduced to a total of 700,000 to 800,000. The rest of the
Holocaust victims (five million, according to Korzec) were killed by German soldiers,
everywhere, wherever they were found, "shot, beaten to death, hanged, allowed to
starve to death". With unprecedented chutzpah (also known as Jewish shamelessness),
Korzec attempts to exploit the debacle of traditional historiography in order to accuse
the Germans. If the majority of Jews had been gassed in extermination camps, he
argues, only a handful of criminals would have been involved in the crime. If, on the
other hand, most of the Jews were murdered outside the camps using manual methods
of primitive cruelty, a much greater number of Germans would have had to participate
in the mass murders. This, in the Talmudic logic of Mr. Korzec, is precisely why
"doubting the gas chambers" is criminalized by German courts of law. It distracts
attention from the fact that it was not just a handful of criminals who are guilty for the
Holocaust, but a large part of the German people!

The nauseating little tome, Hitler's Willing Executioners, by the American Jew Daniel
Jonah Goldhagen (5), follows the same line, by claiming that the entire German
people participated gleefully in the Holocaust, since "extermination anti-Semitism"
was deeply rooted in German tradition. For his Doctoral thesis, presenting a shorter
version of the same argument, Mr. Goldhagen, a docent at the Harvard Minda-de-
Gunzberg Center for European Centre, was awarded the Gabriel A. Almond Prize of
the American Association for Political Studies (according to the cover blurb). The
FAZ of 30 April 1996 summarized the book as follows: 

145

"Germany is fundamentally anti-Semitic and willfully committed the murder
of the Jews with complete approval. If the country had possessed the means to
do so, the extermination of the Jews would have occurred in the 19th century.
Under another political system, it would still be capable of another such
genocide even today."

Just you keep that in mind, Helmut Kohl, Roman Herzog, Hochmuth, Günter Grass,
and all you other belly-crawlers and boot-lickers, you're all Jew-killers too -- just like
Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler! On p. 10, Goldhagen writes: 

"...A multiplicity of myths and erroneous notions as to the criminals are
current in the popular belief as well as in scientific circles, such as the
following: it is generally believed that the Germans murdered the Jews mostly
in gas chambers, and that the Germans couldn't have been able to kill millions
of Jews without gas chambers, modern means of transport, and efficient
bureaucracy."

That's a good one. Who spread the "myths and erroneous notions" mentioned by
Goldhagen? No one but his fellow Jews: Raul Hilberg and Lucy Davidowicz, Leon
Poliakov and Gerald Reitlinger, Yehuda Bauer and Deborah Lipstadt, Georges
Wellers, and Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Israel Gutman and Gerald Fleming, Yitzak Arad
and Serge Klarsfeld, Shmul Krakowski and Nora Levin, Walter Laqueur and Martin
Gilbert; in addition to a few Gentiles, such as the American (paid by the Simon
Wiesenthal Centre) Christopher Browning, the Frenchman (paid by the Beate
Klarsfeld Foundation) named Jean-Claude Pressac, and a couple of German
"researchers" like Wolfgang Scheffler, Eberhard Jäckel, and Wolfgang Benz, who
understood, with an infallible instinct, that, in the "freest state in German history", the
way to make a name for oneself very quickly is to spew forth filth upon one's own
country, at all hours of the day and night. And who, then, were the "eyewitnesses"
upon whom these "scholars" mistakenly relied? Why, nobody but Goldhagen's fellow
Jews, almost exclusively -- except for a few SS men tortured by Jews, like Rudolf
Höss. Goldhagen becomes even more explicit with regards to the gas chambers on
page 521:

"... without regard to the erroneous scientific and popular notion of the
Holocaust, gassing was really epiphenomenal to the German mass murder of
the Jews."

5.37 million Jews were gassed according to Lucy Davidowicz, and 2.7 million
according to Raul Hilberg. Is this sort of slaughter really "epiphenomenal"? In
revisionist trials, defence applications are routinely rejected on the grounds that the
Holocaust as hitherto described is "a proven fact". Thus, the vindictive sentence
passed on NPD leader and revisionist Günter Deckert -- merely for interpreting a
technical speech by the American gas chamber expert, Fred Leuchter -- was justified
by the Federal Court of Karlsruhe as follows: (6): 

"The criminal court (the State Court of Mannheim) correctly assumed that the
mass murder of the Jews, COMMITTED ABOVE ALL IN THE GAS
CHAMBERS OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS, were a proven fact."

146

It would appear that the mass murders, committed ABOVE ALL IN THE GAS
CHAMBERS, might not be such a "proven fact" after all, since the gassings were
merely EPIPHENOMENAL according to the admission of the Jewish historical
researcher Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, Professor at the Minda-de-Ginzburg Centre, and
winner of the Gabriel Almond Prize! How will the jurists in the "freest state in
German history" get out of this one? In my conviction, the Daniel Goldhagen book,
preceded by Korzec's little exercise in chutzpah in Holland, which served as a trial
balloon for Goldhagen, marks a change in course and strategy on the part of the
leading Zionist authorities. They are shifting course to a radically new version of the
Holocaust, according to which almost everything that the "expert historians" have
written and taught for half a century will be jettisoned. A moment afterwards, of
course, the world's "Free Press" will all parrot the same line over night, with their
usual unanimity, just as soon as they get the order to do so from their central control
office. A few hundred thousand "gassing victims" will be retained to make things look
good, the former figures of total gassing victims, which used to be a "proven fact",
will now be depicted as a lie, for which the Germans or the Poles or the Communists
may be guilty, but never, never, the poor Jews. And furthermore: does it make any
difference to the Six Million victims how they were killed? As in George Orwell's
1984, history is constantly being rewritten; in our "Free Democracy", one piece of
nonsense simply takes over for another when the latter is withdrawn for proven
defects.
The evolution of the Holocaust lie: a summary

We may now distinguish five stages in the evolution of the Holocaust Lie, which are,
of course, not strictly segregated, but which merge gradually into each other in turn:
1) from 1942 to around the beginning of 1946, the story was that the Nazis were
killing the Jews -- mostly in extermination and concentration camps -- with steam,
electricity, fire, acids, pneumatic hammers, quicklime, combat gasses, Diesel exhaust
gases, Zyklon B, boiling water, blood poisoning, suffocation, conveyor belt shootings,
etc. etc. Even as late as 14 December 1945, at the Nuremberg Trial, it was claimed
that Jews at Treblinka were killed with hot steam. 2) between 1946 and 1960, the
story changed somewhat; during the Nuremberg Trial, a decision was made to claim
that poison gas was the murder weapon: all the other killing methods in the
extermination and concentration camps were relegated to the Memory Hole. The
claim was now made that almost every camp had one or more gas chambers. 3) from
1960 to 1983, the story was that the Nazis killed the Jews with gas, mostly in five or
six extermination camps located on polish soil. The gas chambers in the Western
camps were jettisoned. 4) in the period between 1983 and 1996, the gas chambers in
the Western camps (except for Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau) made a
miraculous come-back in Kogon/Langbein/Rückerl masterpiece
Nationalsozialistische Massentötungen durch Giftgas. In the West, or so the story
goes, there were relatively few gassings; the Jews were gassed by the millions in five
or six extermination camps in Poland. 5) in 1996, a radical new version of the
Holocaust appeared in the form of the Goldhagen book, preceded by the Korzec trial
balloon in Holland. The gassings are now to be explained away as an insignificant
"epiphenomenon". Everywhere the Germans went, they murdered Jews with primitive
cruelty, out of a hatred for Jews rooted in German history and tradition. But how will
the ruling cliques explain how we got the story wrong for half a century? The
Goldhagen rescue attempt will backfire on the Zionists even more seriously than the

147

Pressac rescue attempt. The attempts of the desperate "Democratic System" to keep
the lie afloat with even crazier, increasingly grotesque and irrational propaganda and
cruder forms of intimidation, are only too understandable under the circumstances.
But the World Enemy, the destroyers of all freedom in the name of fighting "hatred",
are wearing the Nessus shirt; they will be unable to take it off after putting it on. It is
burning into their flesh even more deeply with each passing day.

A question to which revisionists would like a convincing answer: What is the
explanation for the irrational behaviour of an entire people which apparently believes
in an absurd legend?

The Holocaust -- with its gas chambers which constantly change location; its millions
of victims who disappear without a trace into blue vapour at Auschwitz, Majdanek
and Treblinka, after being murdered by Hitler's SS butchers, either with Zyklon B
insecticide or Diesel exhaust, not to mention mass shootings Babi Yar-style (where
the victims also disappear without a trace) -- is, and remains, first and foremost a
unique proof of the monumental stupidity of our age. In the early 1980s -- when the
major absurdities of the Holocaust swindle had already been exploded, with the
exception of a few details -- most revisionist researchers thought it inconceivable that
the legend could persist more than a few more years. Since then, more than fifteen
years have elapsed, and the Lie continues to drag out its existence, filthier and more
luxuriant than ever! Cracks are appearing in the edifice of lies, doubts are appearing --
here and there, in the press, in a few articles, in many private conversations -- as to the
truth of the Establishment version of the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich.
People mention the possibility of minor errors or exaggerations; but almost everyone
continues to accept the story as basically correct. It is precisely this general
acceptance which is the biggest puzzle to revisionists -- and to any reasonable person

148

with a minimum knowledge of history. Really, how can anyone of normal
intelligence, for example, view the room which is shown to millions of tourists on the
grounds of the former camp of Auschwitz as the "only Nazi gas chamber remaining in
original condition", without immediately realizing that the physical capacity of the
room -- not to mention its immediate surroundings, for example, its proximity to the
hospital located nearby -- would make any mass execution using a highly dangerous
poison gas impossible? The unspeakable atrocity stories spewed forth to visitors by
officials of the Auschwitz Museum, deserve only ridicule. But the very opposite
occurs: in these shrines dedicated to the Holocaust religion, people become
intellectual cripples: awe-struck, their senses paralyzed, they gape at everything as if
it were plausible, and solemnly swallow nonsensical fairy tales! Even the generation
of Germans which lived through the war -- i.e., the "generation of criminals", those
who supported the National Socialist system which is now slandered all over the
world, who remained true to that system and fought for it to the bitter end, with
unprecedented self-sacrifice and devotion of spirit -- that generation no longer knows
what to believe after half a century of filth and lies. They confuse their personal first-
hand experience, that which they saw and experienced themselves, with that which
they think they should have seen or experienced (according to the official version of
history). Faced with the accusations and ignorance of succeeding generations, the
generation of the war years joins in with the chorus of self-incrimination or takes
refuge in resigned silence. And yet, - if the gas chambers were technically impossible
and the whole story is therefore a lie; - if no material evidence of the crime remains,
since the Nazis "destroyed all traces of their crimes at the last moment"; - if millions
of bodies simply disappeared into blue vapour, so that not a single body of a single
gassing victim has ever been found; - if the official version of history is based on
nothing but contradictory "eyewitness testimonies" of witnesses who were never
subjected to cross-examination, and confessions extorted from "criminals"; - if a
forensic report, including a reconstruction as is ordinary practice in an ordinary
murder case, has never even been attempted; - if expert reports on the technical
feasibility of the mass gassings are never performed by the courts, but only on behalf
of private parties, and if no technical refutation of these reports can be produced. Then
how is it then possible for the world to believe this series of grotesque hallucinations?
If you ask these questions, most people are either surprised or shocked. But some
people, particularly, young people -- who often react spontaneously and emotionally -
- immediately and spontaneously declare their conviction that the Holocaust is absurd.
One hears remarks like the following: "How could I have believed such nonsense for
all those years?" The revisionist may perhaps be pleased in the belief that he has won
a new adherent. But in most cases, this is a great mistake. When the shock wears off --
the shock which sets in following the discovery of a new truth, the new convert
returns to his old environment, where it is almost impossible to find any information
on the subject other than all-pervading Holocaust propaganda. The average person
lacks the courage to deviate from his environment; the mass media, of course, are all
around us. Upon the slightest expression of doubts, the inevitable reply will be that he
has spoken with a horrid, lying Nazi, that he has heard a load of lies, and that he had
better forget everything he heard. This is particularly true, unless the convert is a hero
willing to jeopardize his social and professional position for historical truth. Since
even the crudest lie can be obfuscated and explained away, the heretic falls away from
his new belief and returns to the shrine of the incredible. Credo quia absurdum est.
What at first seemed absurd -- in comparison to reasonable information about the
absurdity of the Holocaust religion -- once again seems convincing. In a society in

149

which propagandists control the media, those who stray from the fold are quick to
permit themselves to be persuaded once again that the unanimous opinion (Vox
Populi, Vox Dei) which confirmed the reality of the mass extermination of the Jews
for over a half a century, bears incomparably more weight than the statements of a
single "Nazi".

This abandonment of the elementary duty to seek the truth can, however, have
unexpectedly unpleasant results. Today, even re-educated Germans -- despite their
anti-fascist fanaticism -- are regarded with mistrust, even hostility, by many people in
all parts of the world.

The Zionists and their stooges are skilful at ensuring the perpetuation of this hostility,
for example, through hundreds of films, largely produced by Jews, which depict
German soldiers either as simple fools or sadistic beasts.

The passivity and cowardice of the majority of the German people today is their
decisive contribution to the perpetuation endless hatred. All of German contemporary
history has been turned into a sort of crime sheet by the Allied victors. The Germans
swallow everything in complete passivity.

A person who refuses to defend himself, ought not to wonder if he is found guilty. He
deserves no respect, and should expect none. Germans compete with each other in
vomiting upon their own people and themselves at the same time. Do they really
expect to gain any sympathy abroad in this way?

Let us nevertheless attempt to understand the reasons for this apparently illogical
behaviour on the part of the German people.

Perhaps the main reason for it is the knowledge, or instinctive sense, that any critical
discussion of the so-called Holocaust is dangerous; it can cost the victim his job, his
position in society, and even destroy his family. In addition, many people don't want
to know much about the Holocaust, which is the principal accusation against the
German people, since they intuitively feel that many things about it simply cannot be
true. They are afraid to know whether the Holocaust is a pack of lies, or just a lie or
two; anyone doubting the details of the official version of history runs the risk of
being compelled to question the story as a whole.
And that is just what our contemporaries, set on their peace and quiet and
comfort at any price, do not want.

On the other hand, it is not easy to live with a lie which one should long ago have
recognized as such, and, at the same time, to act as if it were no lie at all. For
example, how should the mother of a family, who knows to a certainty that the gas
chamber yarn is a lie, answer a child who asks, eyes wide-open with wonder: "Mama,
teacher told us that German soldiers gassed the Jews. Did Grandpa gas the Jews, too?"
The best way to evade a question like that, which is complex and painful, is simply to
know nothing. So the mother simply tells the over-curious child, "I don't know, ask
your teacher."

150

The Holocaust money-making machine has brought them such tremendous
advantages, that they can no longer live without it. But they made one fatal error: the
Holocaust swindle is so endlessly absurd that its inventors can only take refuge in a
suicide charge; having lost all sense of proportion, they have gone too far and will
soon come crashing down. 

To suppress all open debate on the subject appears an impossibility in the long run,
despite all manner of repression.

From minor explanations to wholesale re-writing, including whole new "Revised
Versions", the profiteers of the myth continue to entangle themselves in increasingly
greater numbers of contradictions; the fables of today contradict the fables told
yesterday; the defenders of the official version of history are being compelled to make
so many concessions that more and more people are starting to wonder about it all.

Doubts expressed in private conversation no longer shock as much as they did a few
years ago; it is getting easier for revisionists to gain a hearing.

In brief: for the exterminationists, the time is running out. Increasingly hysterical
repression is an unmistakable sign of growing panic.
It is also a sign of weakness.
Instead of listening to the discussion, they simply grab for a truncheon. But how long
can they get away with it?

The revisionists must not hope for quick victory; it will not come overnight. They
should remember the wisdom expressed in the phrase from the Czech philosopher,
Karel Capek, who said:

"Truth must be smuggled. It must be distributed in small doses. A drop here, a
drop there -- until people get used to it. Not all at once.

At a time when the Lie appears to be triumphing without hinderance, we would like to
close with an optimistic message. We wish to make the following appeal:

All of you, all friends of the truth, both known and unknown, from many European
countries, those who, like Günter Deckert and Gottfried Kuessel, sit in German and
Austrian prisons for "denying the existence of the gas chambers", or who have been
compelled to go into exile like Remer and Rudolf, all persecuted revisionists and
nationalists -- do not lose your courage, since your struggle against state-ordained lies
is not in vain.

Your courage, the sacrifice of a few, will help to free entire nations and peoples,
including the German and Russian peoples -- from the darkness which has so long
covered them.

The Trial of Jürgen Graf
 
PART I

The criminal trial of Gerhard Förster and Jürgen Graf for
"Racial Discrimination" in Baden!

(Baden, Switzerland) on 16 June 1998)

Based on Xavier Marx’s report on the trial for RECHT + FREIHEIT(22 July).

GERHARD FÖRSTER'S APPEARANCE AS DEFENDANT

Preliminary remark: this report is based on notes. Since its editor cannot take
shorthand, his notes are rudimentary in nature. When the participants are quoted
directly in the many passages which follow, it is quite obvious that they may not have
spoken word for word as given below. It is just as obvious that the editor has made
extensive abridgements. The reader is nevertheless assured that the meaning of the
corresponding statements has been correctly given.

154

INTRODUCTION 

Switzerland’s most important political trial to date for violation of the "Anti-Racism
law" was held on 16 July 1998. Passed in 1995, application of article 261bis of the
Criminal Code ("Racial Discrimination") had been only hesitatingly applied during
the first two years of its existence; an avalanche of such trials then began in early
1997 (see, in this regard, the brochure "Abschied vom Rechtsstaat. Das
‘Antirassismusgesetz’ als Instrument zur Errichtung einer totatalitären Diktatur in der
Schweiz" [Farewell to the State of Law: The ‘Anti-racism law’ as an Introduction for
the Creation of a Totalitarian Dictatorship in Switzerland], edited by Presseclub
Schweiz, Postfach 105, 4008 Basel). Judgment was pronounced on 21.7.1998. Graf
and Förster were found guilty on the principal counts of the indictment, as was
expected in view of the recently created state of totalitarian hysteria with regards to
conscientious Holocaust research. Graf was sentenced to 15 months and Förster to 12
-- without probation -- as well to fines of 8,000 Swiss Francs for Graf and 12,000 for
Förster. Graf has filed an appeal, Förster died four weeks after the verdicts were
handed down.

Presiding judge Guido Näf had previously delayed proceedings for two years,
obviously because he was aware of the very weak basis for the indictment filed by
Dominik Aufdenblatten (the principal indictment dated 4 April 1996 was later
supplemented by several additional counts). Judge Näf was withdrawn from the case
in April 1998, and disciplinary proceedings were filed against him, the results of
which remain unknown due to official secrecy. A new judge, a woman, Andrea
Stäubli, was finally assigned to the case.

The prosecution demanded 17 months imprisonment without probation and a fine of
22,000 SF for Förster, and 18 months imprisonment without probation and a fine of
27,000 SF for Graf. The sentence was the stiffest so far against alleged violators of
the "Anti-Racism Law" [ARG]. Graf was indicted for publishing four books ("The
Holocaust under the Scanner", "The Holocaust Swindle", "Auschwitz
Tatergeständnisse und Augenzeugen des Holocaust" [Auschwitz Criminal
Confessions and Eyewitnesses to the Holocaust" – only available in German],
"Todesursache Zeitgeschichtsforschung" ["Cause of Death: Research into
Contemporary History" – only available in German], as well as a brochure "Das
Rotbuch" ["The Red Book"], also known as "Vom Untergang der Schweizerischen
Freiheit" ["The Decline and Fall of Swiss Freedom"]. He was furthermore indicted for
sending several texts on diskette to Ahmed Rami in Sweden, as well as to Ernst
Zündel in Canada, who then disseminated those same texts on the Internet. Förster
was indicted for publishing the GrafBooks "Auschwitz…" and "Todesursache" , as
well as "Das Rotebuch", in addition to other books by Erich Glagau and Harald Cecil
Robinson, by means of his publishing company "Neue Visionen" (Postfach, 5436
Würenlos).

The trial began at 8:00 A.M. in the Saal Roter Turm, and ended at 9:00 P.M.. The
courtroom (seating approximately 60 persons) was fully occupied, mostly by
supporters of the two defendants. Apart from about 10 journalists, the Jewish
plaintiffs only succeeded in mobilizing a few sympathizers. All the representatives of
the revisionist camp came from western Switzerland or foreign countries.

155

precisely this which defence attorneys Stehrenberger and Dr. Oswald wished to avoid
by not resigning their briefs.

Prosecutor Aufdenblatten’s demand for a criminal indictment against defence witness
Fröhlich brutally unmasked the true nature of the situation. In point of fact, it
amounted to the criminal offence of attempting to intimidate the witness.

Gerhard Förster, managing director of Neue Visionen GmbH, is 78 years old and a
sufferer from osteoporosis and other disabilities; he is a widower. His father, along
with approximately two million other Germans from the Eastern territories, died
during the mass genocide of the mass expulsions of 1944-46. A Silesian by birth, he
was a certified engineer, the holder of approximately 50 patents, and has long been a
Swiss citizen. Due to his extremely precarious state of health, he was brought into the
courtroom in a wheel chair. His examination as a defendant lasted over two hours,
visibly tiring the seriously ill old man.

Presiding judge Andrea Stäubli asked the defendant whether he considered himself a
"revisionist". Förster rejected the expression, since it had negative connotations, being
associated with "right-wing radicalism". He was a searcher for the truth, with a
mathematical turn of mind. In reading Holocaust literature, he was struck by the
widely divergent figures given in relation to the number of Jews having died during
WWII, and sought complete clarity as to the correct number. So far, no one had ever
been able to give him an answer to this question.

Did he personally believe in the Holocaust and the gas chambers, the prosecutor then
hammered away. Förster replied that he had not been there, and that faith was not his
business. Rather, he wanted to know as much as possible, answered Förster. The
presiding judge herself had shown that these trials were a matter of the imposition of
compulsory belief, that is, modern religious trials, without regard to the
constitutionally guaranteed freedom of belief. 

Since Förster’s memory was, by the nature of things, no longer what it used to be, and
in view of his serious illness, he was unable to answer many questions, and got
several dates confused. But he held up remarkably well, enduring the ordeal
courageously. After about 11:00 A.M., however, his strength visibly waned; he no
longer had the strength to speak audibly. This did not prevent the presiding judge
from tormenting the mortally ill man with additional questions.

Förster stated that he had sent female federal prosecuting attorney Carla del Ponte a
copy of "Auschwitz: Tätergeständnisse…" prior to the entry into effect of the AGR
[on 31 October 1994 to be exact], asking whether the contents were in violation of the
ARG. He never received an answer, despite repeated requests. After six months, the
Federal prosecutor’s office disclaimed competence to answer. Under the
circumstances, he felt he was entitled to assume in good faith that there were no
objections to the book from the point of view of criminal law.

The examination of the defendant ended at 12:00 A.M., and the proceedings were
adjourned until 2:00 P.M. Förster was discharged from any further participation.

158

THE PROSECUTION FINAL STATEMENT

After a pause, prosecutor Dominik Aufdenblatten began his final summation. His
miserable performance was purely rhetorical, and, as one trial observer expressed it,
speaking crudely, "unter allen Sau" ["really lousy"]. Aufdenblatten made no attempt
to show any relation between the passages in the books published by Förster and
which were the subject of the indictment, and the wording of the ARG; rather, he
contented himself with reeling off an endless litany of phrases ("pseudoscience",
"anti-Semitic incitation", racist propaganda", etc.). Graf was said to be an intelligent
man, and, therefore, doubly dangerous. Graf was said not to have sought the truth, but
to have knowingly distorted the truth. His writings were said to have incited anti-
Semitism and xenophobia. Since Graf was unreasonable, and fully acknowledged his
revisionist views, there could be no favourable social prognosis. He could not
therefore be given merely a suspended sentence. The same was true of Förster, who
was just as unreasonable as Graf. Förster’s poor health was allegedly no reason why
he should not be sentenced to imprisonment without probation, since it was not the
court’s responsibility to determine the defendant’s fitness to endure imprisonment;
that was the responsibility of a doctor. 
FINAL SUMMATION BY PETER LIATOWITSCH
FOR THE CIVIL PLAINTIFF

Jewish attorney Peter Liatowitsch confirmed that his client, Professor Stegemann, felt
himself seriously libelled, both professionally and personally, by the dedication to the
book. He demanded compensation for his client in the sum of 1000 SF, to be paid into
a "Solidarity Fund". Stegemann described himself as "somatized" (whatever that
might mean) by Graf’s book and its mocking dedication.
FINAL SUMMATION BY JÜRG STEHRENBERGER

G. Förster’s attorney Jürg Stehrenberger spoke for approximately one and a half
hours, demanding acquittal for his client in an extremely rapid and passionately
delivered final summation. He began by emphasizing that the mere presentation of
any defence at all involved the danger of a stiffer sentence or another indictment, even
for the defence lawyers and witnesses, effectively denying the defendant of his basic
right to a defence.

It was not the court’s responsibility to decide what happened 50 years ago, but rather,
what the citizens of Switzerland were to be permitted to read and write today. Article
261bis was in conflict with fundamental constitutional rights such the right to the
freedom of expression, freedom of scientific research, and freedom of the press.

According to article 1 of the Criminal Code, no one could be punished for committing
an act not expressly declared to be punishable. The wording of the Anti-Racism Law
was extremely vague, as is openly admitted in the relevant literature, particularly, in
the commentary by Professor Marcel Nigglis. In doubtful cases, it was the duty of the
court to hold for the defendant.

159

The text of the law spoke of a "systematic denigration" of the members of a "race,
ethnic group, or religion". This element of the offence was nowhere to be found in the
books in question.

The text of the law spoke of "Leugnen" [to deny] the Holocaust. But "Leugnen"
meant "to dispute against better knowledge". Disputing the Holocaust based on
subjective conviction must, therefore, remain unpunishable, as emphasized by
Stratenwerth in the commentary quoted by Niggli. (Stratenwerth speaks of
"stubbornness" or "zeal".)

The concept of "gross trivialization" gave rise to further questions. Niggli’s
commentary states that human suffering cannot be quantified, and that the number of
victims was therefore legally irrelevant to the qualification of a crime as genocide.
Before one can trivialize anything, it is first necessary to know what happened. But
anyone who arrives at a lower estimate of the number of Holocaust victims than the
figures established by certain special interest groups was liable to punishment! This in
itself was a contradiction. According to this logic, Jean-Claude Pressac, who arrives at
an estimate of 631,000 Auschwitz victims in his book, Die Krematorien von
Auschwitz (Piper 1994), would be liable to criminal indictment in Switzerland.

In view of the class action suits pending against Switzerland in the United States, filed
by Jewish organizations for a total of 40 billion Swiss Francs, there was immense
public interest in determining what Swiss officials actually knew of the fate of the
Jews during WWII. How was it possible for the Red Cross official Rossel, who
visited the Auschwitz concentration camp on 29 September 1944 with other fellow
workers, to write in his report (quoted in "Documents sur l’activité du Comité
international de la Croix Rouge en faveur des civils détenus dans les camps de
concentration en Allemagne", Geneva 1947), that he had seen no confirmation of the
rumours of mass gassings, and that the inmates questioned had not themselves
mentioned them. The visit took place, it must be remembered, in SEPTEMBER 1944!

No one, not even the prosecutor, claimed that Graf had falsely quoted or mistranslated
the statements in "Auschwitz. Tätergeständnisse…". The state prosecutor’s office
never reacted to Förster’s mailing of a copy of the book in October 1994; never
expressed an opinion on it, even after repeated inquiries. Finally, six months later, it
disclaimed competence to answer the question as to the legality or illegality of the
book. This was inconceivable; in any event, it proved that the state prosecutor’s office
did not consider to the book to be automatically in violation of the ARG. The
prosecutor at trial flatly, and without justification, dismissed the book as
"pseudoscientific"; this was impermissible. "Todesursache Zeitgeschichtsforschung",
the story of a fictitious secondary school classroom debate, contained references to
innumerable works of historical literature, clearly stating the sources in every case.
Imbedding these references in a literarily invented project week on the subject of
contemporary history was in itself nothing objectionable. 

Defendant Förster had already been condemned by ceaseless media hysteria.
Although he had served only six weeks at the front as a Wehrmacht lance corporal,
the press depicted him as an SS officer; he was constantly smeared as a Nazi. His
German ancestry made him a target for the violence of self-styled "anti-racists",

160

historians for the alleged mass gassing and burning of Jews in ‘extermination camps’.
That is a myth.

Judge Stäubli: Do you consider yourself a revisionist? What does this expression
mean?

Graf: Yes, I consider myself a revisionist. In general, the term revisionist is applied to
historians who subject the official version of history to critical examination. The
Holocaust revisionists under discussion here dispute three central points: 1) the
existence of a plan for the physical destruction of the Jews; 2) the existence of
extermination camps and execution gas chambers 3) the number of 5 to 6 million
Jewish victims. The exact number of victims is unknown, since the documentation is
incomplete. Personally, I assume less than a million.
Judge Stäubli: Are you a trained historian?

Graf: No. I must, however, point out to you that the two best-known representatives
of the orthodox ‘Holocaust’ literature, the Jews Gerald Reitlinger and Raul Hilberg,
were not, or are not, trained historians either. Reitlinger was an expert in the history of
art, while Hilberg is a jurist. The Frenchman Jean-Claude Pressac, whom the media
have praised as the rebutter of revisionism, is a pharmacologist. If an art historian, a
jurist, and a pharmacologist have the right to express themselves on the Holocaust,
then a philologist has that right, too.

Judge Stäubli: What was your motivation in writing these books?

Graf: My central motive is not the defence of the German people, although I like the
Germans. My central motive is a love of truth. I cannot tolerate lying.

Judge Stäubli: What is your definition of scientific writing? 

Graf: The characteristics of scientific writing is that all counter arguments must be
taken into account and examined before formulating one’s own opinion. Only the
revisionists do this.

Judge Stäubli: Would you term your own books as scientific?

Graf: I would classify them in three categories. Auschwitz. Tätergeständnisse und
Augenzeugen des Holocaust, as well as the book on Majdanek, written by myself in
collaboration with Mattogno, which will soon be published, are scientific books. The
Holocaust Swindle and The Holocaust Under the Scanner I would call popular
science. In these books, for the most part, I do not set forth my own knowledge;
rather, I present a general summary of revisionism. Todesursache:
Zeitgeschichtsforschung is, finally, quite simply a novel, and as such is not scientific.

Judge Stäubli: What moved you to write your Auschwitz books?

Graf: There is no technical or documentary proof of the reported mass gassings at
Auschwitz, but rather, only eyewitness accounts. This suggested the idea of collating

163

the most important eyewitness statements, quoting them, and analysing them. If no
historian ever thought of this before, that is not my fault. 

Judge Stäubli: Do you consider the eyewitness statements incredible?

Graf: Yes. Let us assume that three witnesses describe an alleged automobile
accident. The first witness says the automobile left the highway, caught fire, and
exploded; the second says the automobile had a head-on collision with an on-coming
car; while the third says that the automobile hit a bridge, the bridge collapsed, and the
automobile fell into a river. What do you do? And what do you do when there is no
wreckage of any automobile to seen anywhere around, and there is no bridge and no
river? The eyewitness testimonies on gassings contradict each other on all possible
points; and where they agree, they repeat the same impossibilities over and over
again, depriving them of all credibility. For example, many witnesses claim that, in
Auschwitz, three bodies were burnt in one oven muffle in three quarters of an hour.
The actual capacity was one body per muffle per hour; the capacity stated by the
witnesses is therefore exaggerated twelve-fold. This proves that the eyewitness
testimonies were coordinated in advance. The exact manner in which these
testimonies were coordinated, is known in complete detail.

Judge Stäubli: In the introduction to the Auschwitz book, you write that there is no
documentary proof of the extermination of the Jews in the extermination camps. Do
you stand by that statement?

Graf: The anti-revisionist historian Jacques Baynac, in the "Nouveau Quotidien" on 3
September 1996, wrote that the absence of evidence makes it impossible to prove the
existence of the gas chambers. In 1995, I spent almost two months in two Moscow
archives, together with Carlo Mattogno, where we viewed 88,000 pages of documents
from Auschwitz, and thousands of pages from other camps. Not one document refers
to the gassing of a single Jew. This did not surprise us, since if such document had
existed, the Communists would have triumphantly displayed them to the world in
1945. But no, the documents disappeared for 46 years and were only made available
to researchers in 1991. Why? The German documents set forth the objectives of
National Socialist Jewish policy quite clearly. They wanted to transfer the Jews out of
Europe, and, in the meantime, during the war, they used their labour power.

Judge Stäubli: In "The Holocaust Swindle" you write: "After the war, the Jews were
still there." What do you mean by that?

Graf: I mean that most of the Jews in the German sphere of influence survived. Rolf
Bloch, President of the Holocaust Fund, in the "Handelzeitung" of 4 February of this
year, said that more than one million Holocaust survivors were still alive today. Any
actuary can easily compute that there must have been more than three million
survivors in February 1945. As shown by Walter Sanning in his study "The
Dissolution of Eastern European Jewry", published in 1983 and based almost
exclusively on Jewish sources, there could not have been more than four million Jews
at most in the German sphere of influence at the time of its broadest geographical
expansion. Of these, as admitted above, over three million survived. How can one
arrive at a figure of Six Million victims?

164

Judge Stäubli: Can you imagine that Jews may feel offended by your books?

Graf: Yes, and also many non-Jews. The brain-washing is so complete that anyo ne
who accidentally stumbles across the truth is easily upset.

Judge Stäubli: And don’t you care whether Jews feel offended by your books?

Graf: Edgar Bronfmann recently said that Switzerland was like a man who needed to
have his feet held in the fire to make him see reason. Can you imagine that a Swiss
citizen could be offended at that? Why is there only talk of the feelings of the Jews,
and never the feelings of other people? 

Judge Stäubli: The ARG (Anti-Racism-Law) was approved by a democratic
referendum. Don’t you have to respect that?

Graf: The people of that time were told that the law was to protect foreigners from
racist violence. In reality, it is used exclusively to protect Jews from any criticism.
This is irrefutably proven in the brochure "Abscheid vom Rechtsstaat", to which I
participated with two short papers. Not one Swiss citizen has ever been indicted or
sentenced for criticizing blacks, Arabs, or Turks. The only people indicted and
sentenced are people who criticize Jews.

Judge Stäubli: Did the events described by yourself in your "Todesursache
Zeitgeschichtsforschung", depicted as a debate in a German high school classroom,
really take place?

Graf: The events are obviously invented.

Judge Stäubli: But in your introduction, you describe it as if it really took place.

Graf: That is an ancient, and well-known, literary technique. Many authors pretend to
have found an old manuscript or a letter in a bottle.

Judge Stäubli: In the book, one school girl, Marietta, says that, if the Germans had
had more Zyklon, fewer inmates would have died. Please explain that statement!

Graf: The main reason for the extremely high mortality rate in Auschwitz was typhus
fever, which is transmitted by lice. In the late summer of 1942, this epidemic disease
caused 403 deaths in a single day. The documents show that the Germans constantly
demanded more and more Zyklon to eliminate lice, but that the stocks were
nevertheless insufficient. Thus, Marietta’s statement is nothing less than historical
fact. Moreover, I must inform you that deliveries of Zyklon were also made to
Switzerland, Norway, and Finland during the war. Does that mean that Jews were
gassed in these countries too?

Judge Stäubli: In the brochure, "Vom Untergang der Schweizerischen Freiheit", you
write that, to the Jews, the Holocaust has become a religion. What is your comment?

165

FINAL SUMMATION BY PETER LIATOWITSCH
FOR THE CIVIL PLAINTIFF

Jewish attorney Peter Liatowitsch confirmed that his client, Professor Stegemann, felt
himself seriously libelled, both professionally and personally, by the dedication to the
book. He demanded compensation for his client in the sum of 1000 SF, to be paid into
a "Solidarity Fund". Stegemann described himself as "somatized" (whatever that
might mean) by Graf’s book and its mocking dedication.
FINAL SUMMATION BY DR. URS OSWALD

Dr. Urs Oswald, court-appointed defence attorney for defendant Jürgen Graf, spoke
for more than an hour, sharply attacking state prosecutor Audfenblatten. Although he
respected Aufdenblatten as a human being, and recognized his competence, he felt it
his duty to state that the indictment was very badly written and completely untenable. 

According to the principle of "nulla poena sine lege" (no punishment without law),
the books, which were written before entry into effect of the ARG, should never have
been the subject of an indictment. For that reason, he would not discuss the content.
"Auschwitz. Tatergeständnisse…" was undeniably written in May 1994, and
published in August of the same year. No one claimed that Graf had marketed the
book himself. The prosecutor’s claim to justification on the grounds that Graf had not
expressly forbidden the publishing firm from further distribution after 1 January 1995,
and even declared himself to be in agreement with such distribution, was insufficient
in law, and contrary to all customary legal practice.

Nor was Graf subject to punishment for continuing to sell his first two books after
entry of effect of the ARG, since the "public" element of the offence prescribed by the
text of the law, was entirely lacking. Graf carried on no advertising for these two
books; he had sent no copies libraries or other places where they might have been
available for inspection by the public. On the contrary, he sent them only to people
who ordered them. How could this constitute the "public" nature of the offence, as
required by the text of the law? In customary legal practice, not even a small group of
friends was considered to be "public", much less so a single individual.

There was no proof that Graf had written "Todesursache Zeitgeschichtsforschung"
after 1.1.95. (In this, Dr. Oswald was in error, an error which Graf later corrected.)
The brochure "Vom Untergang der Schweizerischen Freiheit" was, of course,
indisputably written after entry into effect of article 261bis, but the passages which
were the subject of the indictment, in which the author summarizes his Auschwitz
books, were written in his own defense. Had he been granted a court-appointed
attorney at that point in time, he would not have needed to write the brochure. 

That Graf admittedly sent diskettes to Ernst Zündel in Canada and Ahmed Rami in
Sweden, who then posted the texts on the Internet, was not a punishable offence, since
the crime, in this case, was not committed in Switzerland. The texts were posted on
the Internet in Canada, the USA, and Sweden, where there were no laws against
revisionism. Any text on the Internet can be retrieved anywhere in the world; they

168

cannot be expected to conform to the laws of every nation in the world. An extensive
study recently published by a jurist named Widmer -- of course, not available to the
state prosecuting attorney prior to trial -- showed very clearly that only the provider is
responsible for the content of the texts. In the case at issue, however, the provider was
in a foreign country.

The count of the indictment mentioning "intimidation" was untenable. Asking
historians to report any errors in a text did not constitute the crime of intimidation. No
prejudice was caused to any of these historians by the subsequent publication of the
article; yet the threat of prejudice was the central characteristic of intimidation (Note:
Graf was acquitted on this charge in the first instance.)

The count of the indictment relating to "libel" was civil in nature, and actually had no
place in the present trial. In addition, Prof. Stegemann and his attorney had missed the
cut-off date; the accusation was now barred by the statute of limitations. Graf was
acquitted on this point, as well.

Graf’s motive was not to degrade the Jews, but rather, to search for truth. The
prosecutor alleged the contrary, but was unable to provide any proof, having made no
effort to justify his accusation of "pseudoscience" in any manner whatever.

Dr. Oswald demanded that Graf be acquitted on all points.

Dr. Oswald’s summation, like Stehrenberger’s, was greatly appreciated by the
majority of persons attending the trial, who were favourably disposed towards the
defendants. Both lawyers did as much as they possibly could for their clients without
jeopardizing their own position, displaying true commitment. 
FINAL STATEMENT BY JÜRGEN GRAF:

"Your Honour, the court, ladies and gentlemen. I would first like to make two
remarks. I would like to thank the presiding judge, for the fair manner in which you
have conducted this trial [editor’s comment: for rejecting Robert Faurisson’s
appearance as defence witness!?] You have permitted me to speak and defend my
statements without hinderance, and you deserve thanks for so doing.

I would like to thank my attorney, Dr. Oswald for his excellent summation, but I
would like to permit myself to correct one error. "Todesursache
Zeitgeschichtsforschung" was written mostly in 1995; I say so openly, because I
despise lying.

An eminently qualified engineer appeared here today as a defence witness, an expert
on the construction of gas chambers for the extermination of vermin and the
eradication of viruses. Wolfgang Fröhlich was expressly warned of his duty to tell the
truth and took due note of that warning. The state prosecuting attorney Aufdenblatten
asked him whether it was possible to gas human beings in gas chambers using Zyklon
B in the manner described, and if not, why not. In accordance with his profound
technical knowledge and true to his duty to testify truthfully, Fröhlich answered the
question in the negative, and justified his answer in detail. What did the state

169

prosecuting attorney do then? He demanded an indictment for "Racial discrimination"
(but not for perjury). That is pure Stalinism, ladies and gentlemen! I know that this is
a serious accusation, but I maintain it. Your Honour, you made an effort to ensure a
fair trial, but that is not true of the prosecutor.

A few words about myself, although I do not like to call attention to myself. I
knowingly exchanged a well-paying job in a state school for an uncertain future [as a
revisionist researcher]. Yet the prosecutor has the nerve to attempt to read my mind,
and makes the accusation that I never sought the truth, but instead, lies. Do you
believe that anyone would willingly risk the destruction of his existence [and jail] for
a known lie? 

We revisionists make an effort to approximate historical truth insofar as possible. We
demand nothing else than to be shown our errors. Of course, there are errors in my
books, but do you know who showed them to me? Other revisionists! From the other
side, the sole reaction has consisted of insults, incitement, threats, indictments, and
trials.

The statements of the prosecutor or Prof. Stegemann betray absolute helplessness in
the face of revisionist arguments; this helplessness is as visible here as it was, for
instance, in the article published in the "Weltwoche", not long ago, by the famous
Hans Stutz. There are never any factual arguments, but rather, empty phrases such as
"pseudoscience, anti-Semitism, racist incitement, etc."

Sigi Feigel [Swiss Jewish leader] and his people want to imprison Förster and myself,
and to prohibit our books. I would never dream of imprisoning Sigi Feigel [for his
incitement against Switzerland]. If he ever wrote a book, I would never dream of
prohibiting it. I challenge Mr. Feigel or Mr. Stegemann, or any other spokesman for
the official view of the Holocaust, to a factual, dispassionate open debate, on radio or
television, as to the existence of the gas chambers and the number of Jewish victims. 

In living memory, no one in Switzerland has been arrested for the non-violent
expression of an opinion. The last example dates far back into the last century. Ladies
and gentlemen of the court, shortly before the end of the 20th century, do you want to
break with this tradition? If you absolutely must jail someone, then please jail me; not
the mortally ill Mr. Förster!

Jailing me would bring no shame upon myself. But it would bring shame on our
country, Switzerland. A Switzerland in which the freedom of expression has been
abolished, in which 0.6 percent of the population may decide what the other 99.4%
can read, write, say, and think, is a dead Switzerland.

I would like to end my remarks with a quotation from my friend Gaston-Armand
Amaudruz from western Switzerland, against whom a trial similar to that held today
against Mr. Förster and myself, is now pending in Lausanne. 

In number 371 of his "Courrier du Continent" Amaudruz wrote:

"As in earlier historical times, it is a sign of weakness to attempt to enforce a dogma
by force. The exponents of the Jewish extermination thesis may win trials based on

170

censorship law today; but they will lose the last trial before the court of future
generations."
