Zundel Holocaust Trial # 3, to be fought on the soil of Germany

Stand by for a Zundel Holocaust Trial # 3, to be fought on the soil of Germany.

Even though communication between me and Ernst is now severely 
restricted, I can give you the exact dates of when Ernst's trial will 
start.  For now, five days have been reserved in November.  They are:

Tuesday, 8 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M. -
Wednesday, 9 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Tuesday, 15 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Wednesday, 16 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Thursday, 24 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-

	Just a few days ago, I received the text of these charges in 
German - 14 points.  Those who are able to read these charges with an 
open mind, will know they are an indictment not against Ernst Zundel 
who speaks the truth as he found it and knows it, but against a 
country that prides itself on being a "democracy". 

1. The bulk of the charges pertains to documents that have been 
posted on the Zundelsite for some 8 years, translated into several 
languages.  They are introductory essays ( "Holocaust 101" ) to 
Holocaust Revisionism and come in eight languages.  You can read for 
yourself what they say if you are so inclined.  ( 
http://www.zundelsite.org/101.html )
2. A few of Ernst's "Germania" letters sent to his world-wide network 
of friends and supporters are also found politically objectionable. 
These letters were legal in Canada, where most of them were written, 
thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in 1992 giving Ernst the right to 
say what he believes to be the truth, and they are legal in the 
United States, based on the First Amentment to the Constitution. 
They were NOT written in Germany, where draconian laws are locked in 
place that serve the State of Israel and not the German people.

I don't know anything beyond this document outlining Ernst's 
political "sins".  I will keep you updated to the extent that I hope 
to be updated on developments.

I should also add that an arrest warrant in Germany has been sworn 
out against me as well, which means that I will not be able to attend 
the trial in Germany. 

So we are gearing up for yet another round.  It will be yet another 
burden on my time and drain on our resources.  It is also an 
important step forward.

        I conclude with a few comments from Ernst on this upcoming 
trial, gleaned from various letters to me.

I have had no more mail since I was notified that my case has been 
taken over by the Landgericht, which as first order of business 
decided to restrict my incoming and my outgoing mail by what amounts 
to a 90% reduction.  This allowed me to go through every document (I 
assume!) that the government is marshalling against me.  Since I am 
still uncertain what I am allowed to say about things, let me be 
general in comments:

Remember how useful court cases have been in the past - for instance, 
when in 1981 during the postal hearing I got to see the letter of 
Simon Wiesenthal, which started all these years of persecution? 
Well, this time we hit the Motherlode, and Bruce [our immigration 
attorney who handles our suit against the U.S. government] will be 
able to add a few names to the depositions.
I found it a very painful process because I am tired of the subject, 
but it seems my fate is that I have to go through this rigmarole 
(sp?) one more time.  With hard work we will produce a shocking 
documentation, and that will be useful.

I was up at 4:30 a.m., and I have been studying and preparing for the 
trial and had to relive my life and my struggle, almost as if in a 
film - and, kiddo, was it one steady grind!  I am now amazed and in 
awe of myself that, like a sleepwalker, I walked through the 
minefields of my enemies!  I now have ample, ample confirmation of 
the accuracy of my intuition!

Remember when I used to be "soul-upset", when I used to think there 
was something wrong with my kids?  It was the you-know-whats, 
scheming and meeting and interviewing people.  We suspected all along 
- except it is worse!  But we were right on the money most of the 
time!
I also read and am astonished at the millions of words spoken, 
written, and typed - alone the typing was heroic.  I also note with 
sadness how many of our friends have fallen by the wayside, now very 
elderly.  And many, many died.

The whole exercise is like a standing on one of those Tribünen, and 
instead of troops marching past, it is one's life passing by in front 
of me for review.  When I see the superhuman effort in the face of 
such unmitigated callousness and unfairness, I can only conclude that 
some extraordinary dynamism made me sustain all of this.

I am going through those mountains and mountains of documents and 
it's an upsetting task because it shows a huge amount of work by 
thousands of bureaucrats of all stripes who have been officially 
confronted with the results of my work.  Yet when you read their 
comments and analyses, it is not the least reflected that it impacted 
on their thinking and attitudes about Germany's role.  So we deny 
ourselves what is called a normal life and happiness, while these 
people, whom we try to shield and protect, attack us from behind 
without any appreciation our work deserves.  There has to be a way to 
break through this log jam.

There are shocking things going on!

What we are dealing with are very, very complex issues, especially in 
Germany as it tried to pick itself up by its own bootstraps out of 
incredible pulverization.  It's like trying to reassemble the 
constantly changing little pieces of a kaleidoscope being slowly 
turned, with its pieces tumbling and shifting.  Compare these pieces 
to the forces in society, all climbing over each other, all juggling 
interests, wants, desires, personal ambitions, greed, corruption, all 
the powers of lobbies, open and hidden, the secret societies, cults 
and sects which have been around for hundreds, maybe thousands of 
years!

The last century was the culmination and the beginning of that 
never-ending process of "historification" where, as soon as something 
is spoken or written, it's like a bullet out of a rifle barrel on its 
own trajectory - gone, unleashed, aimed or randomly heading 
somewhere.  Seeing in these many, many thousands of pages how 
thoughts and words impact on people's lives, on societies' 
functioning - that is one hell of a realization!

In the end, the overall thoughts, concepts and goals are lost in the 
minutiae of bureaucrats filling in papers, of the statements of 
snitches and paid agents, of little petty thieves giving false 
testimonies which then careen through history's corridors, hitting 
this and that. You add to that the vendettas of minorities, pyramid 
climbers in society's bureaucracies, in the spy services, in the 
legal systems, the police forces, the corridors of power, elected and 
unelected.  Ingrid, add to that  the betrayals of friends and of 
wives, jilted girl friends, of revenge being extracted for imagined 
hurts never inflicted, yet treated as if real!

What unfolds before one's eyes is psychohistory, a drama with 
constantly changing actors and storylines and constantly changing 
stage sets, only part of which are visible.  The cranes, wires, 
pulleys, carpenters, painters behind the scenes are invisible, but 
very, very real to the unfolding of the play, which is unfolding 
history.

The study of these documents have made me realize that - with 
sledge-hammer-like impact!
If all this sounds weird to you, sitting on our balcony, looking down 
our beautiful valley, I can understand you might shake your head and 
maybe say, "What on earth is Ernst talking about?"  Well, it is that 
I am at the center of these unleashed, countervailing forces - 
pushing, shoving, climbing over each other, tugging, pulling me this 
way and that.

I am punch-drunk [with fatigue] and must end the letter.  I will 
continue it tomorrow morning 5 a.m.

=====

Those are the words of the world's best-known political prisoner, my 
husband and your friend.  Since Ernst is prevented from giving me 
specifics, I cannot give you specifics, but a little bird has told me 
we can expect a few surprises.  Please stay with me - you and I have 
center stage, and it could well be that the last round has begun!

To my friends, a big thank you, straight from the heart!  To our 
enemies:  Don't count us out!  To the rest of the world:  No 
surrender!

Ingrid Zündel
