August 11, 1996

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:


We are adding new names daily to our e-mail list, quite a few of them from media, both traditional and alternative. Those of you who have been on this list from the beginning might get the feeling that I am repeating myself, but in part this is done to illustrate for these "newcomers" the nature of our struggle

I think the Germar Rudolf story explains as graphically as anything how serious this business of censorship is, and therefore, I want to share once more what CODOH sent me recently, prefaced by a quote from the Revisionist Australian Adelaide Institute, now under censorship siege as well:

Writes Fredrick Toben:

"Please be assured that, from personal experience, I know what force will now be imposed upon our work - the coming battle is not for the faint-hearted. It may also not be for those who still have a husband or wife, children and property to protect.

These evil forces will always seek out the vulnerable spot in a person's character or life. We must not underestimate the depth of depravity these evil forces will now reach in order to silence us . . . Let me conclude by stressing that, from personal experience, the upcoming pressures will test personal relationships.

At Adelaide Institute, we wish to correct such historically incorrect views, and the taboo topic of the homicidal gas chambers needs to be aired openly.

We say this in the full knowledge that such investigations may cause some individuals to relive painful memories. For that we apologize. However, the allegations leveled at Germans and Australians of German ancestry, that homicidal gas chambers existed at Auschwitz, needs to be proven.

Your readers may not believe this, but to date the homicidal gas chamber allegation remains just that - an allegation!"

Well, for those who come into this struggle new, one person who tried getting to the bottom of the Holohoax scientifically from Germany is a young man named Germar Rudolf - utterly apolitical, with no "extremist" affiliation whatsoever.

Here is the Germar Rudolf story, one more time, as sent to us by CODOH:

"Since 1993, academically accredited chemist Germar Rudolf, father of two small children, has been dragged from one criminal trial to the next. Efforts have been made to silence Rudolf by locking him away in prison for having written various scientific publications on the holocaust story.

Rudolf's troubles began when he wrote his now famous, "Das Rudolf Gutachten" (The Rudolf Report) in which he concluded that the mass murders attested to for the Auschwitz concentration camp were irreconcilable with the laws of nature as well as technically impossible. Subsequently, Rudolf recently took a leading part in the publication of several books and brochures, and has published articles in support of similar theses.

In May 1996, one hundred of Germany's leading personalities, among them many college and universitiy professors, demanded the protection of academic freedom for the book edited by Rudolf, "Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte: Ein Handbuch ueber strittige Fragen des 20. Jahrhunderts" (Foundations of Contemporary History: A handbook on controversial questions of the twentieth century). Two leading historians even affirmed in court expert reports that this work absolutely must be safeguarded by the principles of academic freedom.

Nonetheless, Judge Burckhardt Stein decided on May 7, 1996 that Rudolf had to be arrested without delay for his part in this publication. Finally, on June 15, 1996, the judge ruled that all copies of "Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte" must be burned. (!)

In the summer of last year, 20 persons affiliated with Italian universities, among them 16 professors, spoke out in favour of academic freedom for Germar Rudolf and his scientific colleagues.

None of this stopped the Judges of the 17th Criminal Division of the Stuttgart Landgericht [District Court], chaired by Dr. Dietmar Mayer, from convicting Germar Rudolf for his scientific report.

For the publication of his scientifically documented opinion that something is wrong with the established view of history, the Judges sentenced Rudolf to 14 month's imprisonment without probation. (!)

Rudolf's motion to obtain expert evidence to determine whether his report was correct in terms of content was denied by the Court, since "the intended result" of such a motion to hear evidence amounted to "a denial of the mass murder of the Jews." Any such evidence is forbidden, since, according to the Court, "the mass murder of the Jews [...] is a self-evident historical fact which requires no proof". (!) (Verdict, pp. 231f.) . . .

The accused was thus prevented from bringing evidence for his innocence, which clearly constitutes a violation of Ch. 6 Section 3 of the European Human Rights Convention (the right to have one's own case fairly presented in a trial).

In the course of this trial, and as a consequence of the verdict, the incitement spread by the media caused Rudolf's rent agreement to be terminated - twice, in each case at a time when his wife was well along in pregnancy. He repeatedly lost jobs, and the University of Stuttgart successfully denied him his PhD examination.

For years now the media has slandered Rudolf as a rightwing radical even though he has never belonged to or even been in contact with any organization deemed to be right-wing extremist. Furthermore, five other criminal proceedings for alleged "abuse of academic freedom" threaten further long term of imprisonment for Rudolf.

Doing its part for the struggle for Freedom of Speech, CODOH is proud to announce that the volume, "Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte," the only book, in recent memory, ordered to be burned is available now on the Internet."

I KNOW that if we could get the scientific world community to inspect and judge the Germar Rudolf Report impartially and fairly and report to the people about it fully, unhampered by vile censorship, kingdoms and empires would topple world-wide, just like so many dominoes.

THAT's what it's all about.
