The First Electronic "Holocaust" Rebuttal
in the History of Mankind

sponsored by Ernst Zündel
charged by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby for ". . . defamation of the Jews."



Ernst Zündel and his fellow Revisionists: Hate mongers? . . . or Fighters for Truth in History?

Who really is doing the hating? You be the judge!

We invite the world to decide!

Elie Wiesel has stated in Legends of our Time: "Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate - healthy, virile hate - for what the German personifies, and for what persists in the German."


We want to debate. . . Our enemies want to bomb, burn, maim and kill!

defamation. . .terror. . . arson. . . bombs!

"Did Six Million Really Die?

The Truth At Last: Exposed!"

 

The world knows of Anne Frank. The death of a young girl is a great tragedy.

However, Anne Frank did not die in flames. We, too, have our dead. We do not wish to have our dead defamed.

We dedicate this "Holocaust" rebuttal to those who died in flames in a horrific Allied fire bombing, March 16, 1945 in Würzburg, Germany.

We believe we have not only a right but a duty to rebut. We cite here a man who had first-hand experience in what is now sold as the "New World Order":

"We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations."

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

Our rebuttal strategy - by design and by default:

In many European countries, scholars, researchers, experts and historians can now be sentenced to hard time in prison for ". . . questioning the Holocaust." In Germany, the penalty can be five years.

How is this done? By legislators passing laws called "Hate Laws."

These "Hate Laws" are designed to snap around good people's hearts and minds like hand cuffs - for merely asking politically incorrect questions. It is costly and dangerous asking questions pertaining to topics like the "Holocaust".

"Hate laws" cynically equate an honest search for truth in history with bigotry and violence. The deeper question undergirding these questions is: "Just who is violent? And for what devious reason?"

Not since the Salem witch hunts has there been such brutal persecution as now has broken out across most of the globe wherever people want to know:

"Did Six Million Really Die?"

A handful of Revisionists first asked that troubling question. They weren't violent. They weren't even militant. In fact, most of them were, and are, a rather meek and motley crowd. It isn't easy being a Revisionist. Few dare to heed the call to question the "Holocaust" dogma.

For more than twenty years, Revisionists have struggled with great lobbies, immense powers, money, influence and artificially created moral public outrage to have their voices heard. Many, many people have been hurt. Some people have even been killed by bombs. Numerous others were victims of arson attacks - not only in Toronto, as happened to Ernst Zündel - but in other so-called "free countries" as well.

Do Germans have no right to their own history? Does not the world that's daily being fed a nauseating fare about "gas chambers," "ovens," "pits" and ". . . heaps and heaps of corpses" have a right to hear an alternate and maybe less offensive point of view - if only it can penetrate the shrieking?

Revisionists don't have all the answers. They don't pretend they do. But the answers they have are hard, disturbing answers. They are respectable answers. They are scientifically and logically verifiable answers. Alexander Chase has said: "Gods are born and die, but the atom endures."

We believe that the lie - that ". . . millions and millions were gassed . . . " that has sickened our society can be undone by checking, double-checking, probing and verifying easily available forensic and statistical evidence. Alternately, what the Holocaust Promotion Lobby carries in their briefcases is truly terrifying in its sinister implications to freedom.

With this page, we would like to start rebuttals on many murky questions pertaining to the "Holocaust." Below is a short summary of how we intend to proceed:

1: We wish to focus the argument to three main points which summarize the Revisionist claim:

The Zundelsite-Nizkor rebuttals will proceed for as long as there is freedom on the Internet!


2. We wish to concentrate the rebuttals to "document-to-document" points. In other words, if we rebut a "gas chamber" construction topic, we would prefer not to have it contaminated with questions pertaining to the authenticity of the Anne Frank Diary. The Anne Frank Diary can be and, no doubt, will be a separate challenge.

This concentrated focusing is done for logistic reasons and for simplicity's sake and is embedded in the nature of a "web site forum." We want to keep it manageable in terms of links so that people can read and understand and ponder - without getting lost in the tangle.

We don't want them to get discouraged in a spider web of obscure footnotes and moot points.


3. We won't rehash what has been settled to the satisfaction of honest people years ago. In other words, we will not stall and wait for slowpokes to catch up. This forum is no place for intellectual kindergarten explanations.

If a fatuous or infantile question comes up, we will simply link that question to a pertinent document and give the reader not familiar with Revisionism as he might want to be a chance to catch up on his own.

A prime example: If it is claimed, as has been claimed, that thousands of bodies can be incinerated within hours, we will simply invite the reader to download the Crematory Expert Ivan Lagace's testimony given in a Toronto court the trial of Ernst Zundel in 1988 from our FTP site and read it carefully. In other words, we won't hack through a forest with a feather.

The other side of the coin is that we cannot spend time, energy and money to support hair-splitting and technical nit-picking. That kind of information belongs in technical journals and would only bore the general reader whom we are trying to reach.


4. We wish we had all our references at our finger tips, as used to be our style. After the politically motivated arson at the Zündel-Haus on May 7th, 1995, however, many of the enormously important Holocaust documents and books have turned to ashes. It will take time rebuilding our reference library. Therefore, we ask our readers' understanding that we have to proceed more slowly with our answers than might be possible for Nizkor.

They have just given us a 175 page rebuttal to a simple 2-page pamphlet. We can't reply in kind. We will be brief. We must be brief. We have merely a handful of sterling researchers scattered around the world - many still writing in longhand, and others, such as young Germar Rudolf, experiencing their own legal tribulations or even prison terms for having done "the unspeakable" - that is, dared with great courage and at personal risk to question conventional "Holocaust" dogma.

Disclaimer: Nizkor has requested that we post here that they ". . . have nothing to do with any violent acts committed against any revisionist, and that they, in fact, denounce acts of violence as a response to any kind of speech."

We are in no way implying that people associated with the Nizkor site itself are violent. Nizkor, a grassroots web site whose mission is to champion the traditional "Holocaust" version, has stated it is merely interested in "linking."
