Zgram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

November 9, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Today is a very special day - the day man landed on the moon, the day 
the Berlin Wall came down, the day one of my sons were born.  There's 
more, but we'll reserve that for a later time, if you don't mind. 
For now, take note: 

In Germany on this very day  an organizational meeting takes place, 
perhaps this very minute, for the formation of "League for the 
Rehabilitation of Persons Persecuted for Disputing the Holocaust" 
(Verein für Rehabilitierung der wegen Bestreitens des Holocaust 
Verfolgten)

Under the guidance of famed Attorney Horst Mahler, this League is 
going to make tracks. 

What's better yet, I have been given the honor of being its very 
first member, acting on Ernst's behalf.  My signature has been 
e-mailed, and the annual membership fee is on its way. I feel very 
honored by this development, almost awed.  We have entered a new era, 
and there will be legal fights ahead that will rock the foundations 
of the orthodox Holocaust claims with a magnitude we can only 
surmise. 

It means that, for once, we will be going on the legal offensive and 
not constantly being forced to react!

Here is Dr. Faurisson's take on what this development means, prefaced 
with some bio information about himself and his role in and 
contribution to Revisionist history:

Letter to Horst Mahler

Professor Robert Faurisson, born in 1929, lectured in modern and 
contemporary French literature at the Sorbonne and the University of 
Lyon, specialising at the latter in the "Analysis of texts and 
documents (literature, history, media)".

In the 1970s, he demonstrated the radical impossibility, on physical 
and chemical grounds, of the existence and operation of the alleged 
Nazi gas chambers. He was the first in the world to publish the plans 
of the buildings at Auschwitz abusively presented still today as 
having served for putting inmates to death by gassing.

In 1988, thanks to an investigation commissioned by the 
German-Canadian Ernst Zündel, the professor's findings were confirmed 
by the American Fred Leuchter, designer of the gas chambers used in 
several United States prisons and author of a report on the alleged 
gas chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek. In the early 1990s, the 
conclusions of the famous "Leuchter Report" were, in turn, confirmed 
by the German chemist Germar Rudolf, a graduate of the Max Planck 
Institute, as well as by the Austrian chemists Walter Lüftl, 
president of the board of engineers of Austria, and Wolfgang 
Fröhlich, a specialist in disinfection gas chambers.

As a consequence of their findings, Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zündel, 
Fred Leuchter, Germar Rudolf, Walter Lüftl and Wolfgang Fröhlich have 
all paid a substantial toll to the prevailing judicial and 
extra-judicial repression. Like a number of other "revisionists" they 
have, according to circumstances, had the experience of seeing their 
careers ruined, of being physically assaulted and injured, convicted 
in the law courts, fined, imprisoned, exiled. At present, Wolfgang 
Fröhlich is in jail in Vienna and Ernst Zündel is being held in 
Toronto in a high-security cell, in judicial and physical conditions 
worthy of "Guantanamo Bay".

Dear Herr Mahler,

As soon as I learned of the existence of your “League for the 
Rehabilitation of Persons Persecuted for Disputing the Holocaust “ 
(Verein für Rehabilitierung der wegen Bestreitens des Holocaust 
Verfolgten) I applied for membership and sent you a financial 
contribution.

Your initiative is ingenious, and I wish it every success. I urge all 
revisionists to support this undertaking.

You have invited me to your first meeting, which will take place on 
November 9. The date is well chosen, for it marks the anniversary of 
the fall of a tyranny that one might have thought would last forever. 
The place, Vlotho on the Weser river, is equally well chosen, for it 
is associated with the name of our friend Udo Walendy, who has fought 
so hard and so long for the reestablishment of historical truth and, 
at the same time, for the cause of his German fatherland.

I would love to attend this meeting, but I think that the German 
police might immediately arrest me there. Anyway, I have too much 
work to do, and cannot go on vacation, even if it were to be spent in 
a German prison.

With regard to freedom of historical research, I have no confidence 
in the French police or the French administration of justice. I have 
even less confidence in the German police and administration of 
justice. Frankly speaking, nowadays there is no country in the world 
that offers a safe haven for revisionists. Even China, Japan and 
Russia serve Mammon or else fear him, and so serve him. The United 
States of America, in spite of its First Amendment, as well as 
Canada, have just recently shown, in the cruel treatment of Ernst 
Zündel, to what depths of iniquity they can descend to please Mammon. 
Ernst Zündel is a heroic figure of the German nation, an exceptional 
man whom one cannot fail to admire when one really knows him.

In 1999, I published in French a four-volume work of more than two 
thousand pages, consisting of some of my writings of 1974-1998. It 
commences with an "In Memoriam" note in which I mention, among the 
dead, Franz Scheidl, Helmut Diwald and Reinhold Elstner. With regard 
to the last named, I recall that on April 15, 1995, he committed 
suicide in Munich by burning himself to protest the "Niagara of lies" 
against his people. The final words in that "In Memoriam" note are 
these:

"May [my book] also be read as a homage for the true suffering of all 
victims of the 1939-1945 war, regardless of whether the victims 
belonged to the camp of the victors, who are praised to the skies, or 
to that of the defeated, whom have been humiliated and insulted 
ceaselessly for nearly half a century."

Remember that these words are from 1998. During the past five years 
the situation has only worsened. The Niagara of lies has broadened 
and strengthened. We do not have the right to fold our arms and 
quietly contemplate the extent of the damage caused. We must act and 
react.

That is what you are trying to do.

Along with everyone else, I do not know how successful this effort 
might be, but I want to join with you in it, regardless of whatever 
differences of opinion or outlook there may be among those of us who 
fight for a common cause.

In December 1980, I summarized the result of my historical research 
in one sentence of 60 French words. Before pronouncing that sentence 
on Europe 1 radio, I gave this warning: "Caution! None of these words 
has been inspired by political sympathy or antipathy." Here is the 
sentence:

"The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the 
Jews constitute one and the same historical lie, which has made 
possible a gigantic financial-political swindle, the principal 
beneficiaries of which are the State of Israel and international 
Zionism, and whose principal victims are the German people - but not 
their leaders - and the entire Palestinian people."

In my view, that sentence, now 23 years old, requires no changes.

I have been accused of being anti-Jewish. In reality I wish the Jews 
no harm. What I demand is the right to speak of the Jews just as 
freely as I speak, for example, of the Germans. And I ask that the 
Jews be deprived of the right to harm me, whether physically (between 
1978 and 1993, I was attacked ten times by Jews), or by means of a 
special law that they finally got enacted on July 13, 1990, and which 
in France is known as the "Fabius-Gayssot Law", the "Faurisson Law", 
or the "Anti-revisionist Law".

It is outrageous that out of the billions of events that constitute 
the history of mankind, one single event, called by Jews the 
"Holocaust" or the "Shoah", must not be questioned - on pain of 
imprisonment, fines, orders to pay damages and the costs of 
publications of judgments, the exclusion from one's profession, and 
so forth. This is an enormous special privilege, and we demand the 
abolition of that privilege.

This is a goal that is plain, clear and of narrow scope.

Revisionism, in my view, is not, and must not be, a matter of 
ideology, but instead one of method by which to attain the greatest 
degree of exactitude.

What I seek is historical exactitude and, thus, the abolition of 
anything that obstructs the free striving towards that exactitude.

My best wishes are with you.
