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

March 26, 2004-03-25
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

As I  announced before, on Sunday there will be two more 
demonstrations called "Free Ernst Zundel!" - one in the Toronto area, 
and one in Edmonton, Alberta.  Be there - if you can't, send a brief 
message to 1315038 at pop.primus.ca or (if that email is blocked) to 
cafe at canadafirst.net.  Further instructions about the rally are on 
the Zundelsite, www.zundelsite.org , and on many other websites.

Below is a message written by Dr. Robert Faurisson, Europe's premier 
Revisionist.  I have seldom seen the essence of Ernst Zundel as 
closely captured as in this one.  Be sure to spread it far and wide - 
now that he is in prison, Ernst Zundel is getting more attention and 
respect in sheer numbers worldwide, thanks to the Internet, than he 
ever did in all his struggles since he declared war on the Holocaust 
hoax more than thirty years ago:

For Ernst Zündel


These lines are not addressed to those who already know Ernst Zündel 
- the man, his deeds and his writings - but to the Canadians who know 
only what the mass media, taken together, have chosen to report about 
him. It may be feared that those Canadians have been led to misjudge 
E. Zündel and, perhaps, hate him.

	To those people, who, in my view, are mistaken, I should say: 
examine with care the image of this man that most of the media in 
your country try to give you, whilst practically never letting you 
hear his voice. Use your discernment. To start, be on your guard 
against the repetitive, hollow and vague nature of the accusations 
brought against him. Do not let yourselves be taken in by the 
obsessive use of words like "Nazi" or "anti-Semite". These terms are 
used against him as easily and mechanically as stock insults. They 
are not born of any attempt at analysis. Quite the contrary: it is 
people who want to spare themselves just such an effort who resort to 
them. These words are employed to kill those to whom they are applied 
or, at the very least, to gag or send them to prison. Most often they 
are vituperations let fly to vent spleen. Uttering them is somewhat 
like spitting, and spitting has never been an argument. 

	Ask yourselves whether E. Zündel, rather than the monster 
described for you, may not quite simply be a man attached to his 
country of origin, Germany, whose desire is to defend his homeland 
against horrific slanders.

	If you hear it said that he "denies the Holocaust of the 
Jews", reflect once again. Has he really asserted that, during the 
Second World War, the Jews did not suffer? The answer is "No". Has he 
actually maintained that Germany had no anti-Jewish policy then? The 
answer again is "No". Has he seriously claimed that Jews were not 
deported to concentration camps or labour camps? The answer is yet 
again "No". Has he advocated racial discrimination, or can there be 
found in his past any sign of racist behaviour towards those with 
whom he has had contact as, for instance, their employer? Still once 
more the answer is  "No".

	But then, if I am right and if I take it upon myself to tell 
you that E. Zündel has never held the ideas falsely ascribed to him, 
how is it that the mass media, in unison, have hidden this fact from 
you? Ask yourselves. And try to find the answer.

	I shall briefly tell you what E. Zündel has thought and 
written in the past and what he continues to think today in the 
prison where, for over a year, he his being held like the most 
dangerous of criminals.

	Like me and a fair number of other revisionists, he 
challenges, on the strength of solid arguments, documents and 
forensic reports, the core of what the Jews call their "Holocaust" or 
"Shoah". Upon the conclusion of his research, he found that Adolf 
Hitler had indeed sought a final solution to the eternal Jewish 
question but, as is spelled out in plain writing in the relevant 
documents, a "territorial final solution". He also found that an 
extermination of the Jews had never been contemplated, much less 
undertaken, but rather, as had often happened in the history of 
certain countries, a transfer of the Jews out of Europe: the 
"territorial final solution was to have been the Jews' resettlement 
in an autonomous territory of their own outside of Europe, anywhere 
except Palestine. As for the rest of E. Zündel's findings I shall, 
the better to make myself understood, draw your attention to current 
events and the war in Iraq. You have heard that Saddam Hussein 
possessed "weapons of mass destruction". You know that such talk is a 
cold lie and that this lie made possible a military butchery, a 
crusade of Good against Evil. War has always been hand in glove with 
propaganda, in all times and places. Still, to take but this one 
example amongst thousands of others, in the recent century, during 
the 1930s and 1940s, a frenzied propaganda was built up, especially 
in the great democracies of the West and the Soviet Union, against 
the Axis powers ("the axis of Evil", in a sense) and, especially, 
against Germany. The Allies thereby stirred their own soldiers to 
warlike ardour and, after the vast butchery, justified their own war 
and their own war crimes by heaping gruesome accusations on Germany. 
It was claimed, in particular, that Hitler had ordered the building 
of weapons of mass destruction and used those weapons to kill the 
Jews in a methodical manner and in industrial proportions. In fact, 
no trace of any such order has ever been found, nor any trace of the 
satanic weapons called "[execution] gas chambers" or "[execution] gas 
vans", and all the alleged "testimonies" of the existence and 
operation of such chemical slaughterhouses have shown themselves to 
be fraudulent. This is what so soundly struck E. Zündel. This is what 
he, ever since, has wanted to bring to the eyes of the world. It is 
this staggering discovery of colossal deceit that has led him to 
fight as he has done and as he will do till his dying breath. It is 
for this, and solely for this, that he is now being killed by inches.

	We have all been told that the rarest of virtues is the 
courage to fight for what one believes is true: the maxim is taught 
in the schools and universities, in the works of great literature and 
in picture books. It is a virtue much admired in certain men and 
women of the past. But when, suddenly, the living example of such 
courage appears in present reality, too often people fail to 
recognise it. They neglect it, or are mistaken about it. Trusting in 
appearances, they lend a willing ear to the rumours circulating with 
regard to the extraordinary person and, one fine day, unawares, find 
themselves in the camp of the slanderers. Having believed they had a 
great love of justice, they show themselves ready to uphold Lynch law 
in the face of this nuisance to society and to the fashionable way of 
thinking. 

	I may add that if you knew E. Zündel you would respect him 
for his open-mindedness, intelligence, understanding of the most 
various kinds of people, and sincerity. Then, upon discovering the 
true personality of Zündel the peasant, the artist, the thinker, you 
would very likely get the idea: "I was wrong about him. I've been 
fooled. In my thoughts and words, by my acts or omissions, I've 
condemned a man who, in reality, is a credit to his nation, to my own 
and to the whole human race". You would ask yourselves how to right 
the wrongs that have been done.

	I have the solution. Take your example from E. Zündel. If his 
ideas do not appeal to you, leave them to him but borrow a bit of his 
courage. Protest against the fate reserved for him up to today in a 
"high security" cell near Toronto and denounce the sham proceedings 
that an alleged justice system is conducting against him.  

	In Canada, Paul Fromm organises, with the greatest 
selflessness, the defence of our prisoner of conscience. To join in 
the support of E. Zündel, start by helping Paul Fromm.

	I thank you.
