Follow-up on planned demonstrations protesting the Ernst Zundel 
deportation / incarceration in Germany:

To all:

The date of the Protest Demonstration is May 6 - a Friday.  We chose 
this date to counteract the huge demonstrations our enemies will put 
on to "celebrate the liberation" of Germany in 1945.  Those of us who 
experienced that day know we were not "liberated" - it was merely the 
beginning of an occupation that has endured to this day, much of it 
in Western society's brains. 

If you absolutely cannot make it on May 6,  participate either before 
or after that date. 

Cities hosting Embassy/Consulates of Germany in  the United States are:

Atlanta
Boston
Chicago
Houston
Los Angeles
Miami
New York
San Francisco
Washington

The website link providing further information regarding address, 
hours of business, name of Ambassador/Consuls etc. can be found at

For Embassy/Consulate contacts in other countries, use the Yahoo directory at

Many of you have written to me regarding contact information for 
groups forming in your area who are planning to participate in an 
open demonstration.  I am still working on a list. 

However, please be aware that there are basically three ways to make 
your protest known:

--- You can participate by spending a lunch hour carrying a poster
--- You can simply walk into the embassy or consulate, either alone 
or with one or more friends and protest
--- You can write, fax or telephone and make your grievance known

PARTICIPATING BY CARRYING A POSTER:

This is fun and gives you a boost of self-confidence that you are 
doing something substantial.  My experience has been that even small 
protests are noticed by media and sometimes put on the wire.  The 
value of media attention is out of all proportion to the size of the 
group.  It is invaluable! 

Also, you can be sure that the government of Germany will be informed 
of the protest.  Every country is highly conscious of image!  When we 
had the protest demonstration before the Consulate of Canada in Los 
Angeles, the slogan "Shame on Canada" was picked up by the wire and 
went around the world.  We got some spectacular footage!

In a few days, I will give you a sample press release you can fax to 
your local media and see what happens. 

I will also give you a website with suggestions on how to do 
effective postering.

If you participate in a protest group, be sure to take a camera along 
and send me the photos for our archives.  If you can arrange to have 
the protest videotaped, that would be nifty - and chances are good 
you will be featured in the Zundel Documentary.  (I am working on 
this documentary practically day and night and know it has incredible 
potential.  More about that laterŠ)

PARTICIPATING BY PAYING A FRIENDLY VISIT TO THE AMBASSADOR OR CONSUL 
IN YOUR AREA

Several of the consulates, such as the Atlanta Consulate, are nested 
in huge business complexes.  Sometimes, a direct individual or small 
group visit to such places is easier to accomplish than a 
demonstration outside where parking might be a problem.  You will not 
have media - but trust me, YOU WILL BE NOTICED AND TAKEN SERIOUSLY. 

You will have your chance to talk to dignitaries face to face.  You 
can state your case, calmly but forcefully, in a way that will make 
an impression. 

If you would like to have a copy of Ernst's prison memoirs, written 
while imprisoned in the Canadian Gulag, as well as a Demo DVD of the 
documentary to give to the Ambassador or Consul, send me a courtesy 
donation to cover costs, and I will rush it to you. 

YOU CAN WRITE, FAX, OR TELEPHONE:

Everybody can participate!  It costs only pennies - and it will make 
a difference.  Trust me! 

Look  at it this way:  Ernst has spent some 40-plus years of his life 
and millions of dollars - every penny of his own, as well as the 
money raised from supporters from all over the world - for the Cause 
of Freedom of Speech.  Can you afford a few minutes and less than a 
dollar? 

Please let me know what you will do - so I can compile a report for 
our archives.

Send email to BOTH addresses, since I am experiencing repeated 
sabotage and lose a great many letters.

NO SURRENDER!
