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.
