CHAPTER III
THE REVISIONISTS
The claims of the revisionists
Everyone today knows that there is a group of people who radically question the
prevalent image of the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich. These people call
themselves "Revisionists", or, more precisely, "Holocaust Revisionists". The media
bespatters them with idiotic smear words like "Auschwitz Deniers", and lumps them
together with "Right-wing Radicals".
If you were to ask the average German what the revisionists actually say, and what
they their statements are based on, he would be unable to answer. This is quite
inevitable because of strict media control; the media have strict instructions not to
permit any expression or discussion of revisionist arguments. Thus, many people are
given the completely erroneous impression that the revisionists deny Jewish suffering
during the Second World War. In reality, no one denies that a considerable number of
Jews under German rule were interned in concentration camps, or that large numbers
of deportees died of epidemics and exhaustion. Nor does anyone deny the reality of
shootings of Jews, particularly, on the Eastern Front.
Revisionists dispute the following three points in particular:
1) That there was a plan for the physical liquidation of the Jews;
2) The existence of "extermination camps" with gas chambers for mass killing of
human beings;
3) That five to six million Jews died in German occupied Europe.
It is also not true that revisionism is a "Right-wing radical" movement, since it is not
an ideology. It is, as Prof. Robert Faurisson likes to say, a method. Revisionists
examine the official picture of the "Holocaust" using the same methods which are
generally recognized as valid for other historical periods.
Of course, it is also true that most revisionists are politically to the Right, and that
some of them are acknowledged National Socialists, but this has no influence on the
correctness or incorrectness of their arguments. Whether the discoverer of a new
planet is conservative, liberal, socialist, or Communist, is irrelevant to the history of
science. What counts is the discovery of a new planet!
Furthermore, some of the best-known revisionists, for example, the Frenchmen Serge
Thion and Pierre Guillaume, are on the Left.
37
A former concentration camp inmate as revisionist pioneer:
Paul Rassinier
The founder of revisionism also came from the left. Paul Rassinier, a French
resistance fighter, a Socialist and detainee at Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau
concentration camps. In his book Le Mensonge d'Ulysse (the Lies of Ulysses), which
appeared in 1950, Rassinier denounced the endlessly exaggerated tales told by former
inmates of German camps. Over the course of years of research, Rassinier finally
came to the conclusion that gassings had either not taken place at all, or had taken
place only as the act of a few lunatics. In Le Drame des Juifs européens (1964),
Rassinier wrote a few years before his death (1):
"For 15 years, every time that I heard of a witness anywhere, no matter where
in the portion of Europe that was not occupied by the Soviets, who claimed to
have himself been present at gas exterminations, I immediately went to him to
get his testimony. With documentation in hand, I would ask him so many
precise and detailed questions that soon it became apparent that he could not
answer except by lying. Often his lies became so transparent, even to himself,
that he ended his testimony by declaring that he had not seen it himself, but
that one of his good friends, who had died in the camps and whose good faith
he could not doubt, had told him about it. I covered thousands and thousands
of kilometers throughout Europe in this way."
Since nobody else wanted to print Rassinier's works, he finally had them published by
a publishing house closely associated with the "Extreme Right" (Les Sept Couleurs).
The hypocrites who reproach him for having them published them there, would no
doubt have preferred to see them never published at all.
Media vilification of the revisionists
If we observe the campaign against the revisionists carried on by the media clique, we
immediately note a series of remarkable features:
First, revisionist literature is flatly stated to have no credibility at all. Thus, a Swiss
women named Klara Obermueller wrote as follows in an anti-revisionist series (2):
"If somebody came along today and reported the calling of a scientific
congress to examine the question of whether the sun revolves around the earth
or the earth around the sun, he would either be ridiculed or declared non-
compos mentis. It wouldn't occur to anyone to discuss the matter seriously... A
similar thing occurs with the propagandists of the so-called 'Auschwitz Lie' or
'Holocaust Lie': their statements that there was no extermination of the Jews, is
so obviously false that it is basically unworthy of serious scientific
discussion."
According to the above, the revisionists are purely and simply crazy. So why
persecute them? Why not just ignore them? Do people take you to court if you say the
earth doesn't revolve around the sun?
38
Peculiarly, these same lunatics appear to be highly dangerous to the "Western
democracies"; they even appear to threaten the very basis of that society in an
extremely serious way. A hack journalist named Patrick Bahners, writing in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on 15 August 1994 in connection with the sentencing
of Günter Deckert, revisionist and Chairman of the NPD, by the German legal system,
said:
"If Deckert's attitude on the Holocaust were correct, the Bundesrepublik would
be based on a lie. Every Presidential speech, every minute of silence, every
history book would be a lie. Therefore, anyone who denies the mass murder of
the Jews disputes the legitimacy of the Bundesrepublik."
How can a handful of lunatics endanger the legitimacy of the Bundesrepublik? No,
the journalists must finally recognize that there is something askew in this argument:
either the revisionists are lunatics, in which case they aren't dangerous, and the
journalists can spare the energy wasted on all their hysterical hate campaigns; or they
are highly dangerous to the ruling system of the West, in which case they are not
lunatics! You can't have it both ways; the media must decide one or the other.
State prosecutors and judges as watch dogs for the official version of history
The matter becomes even more suspicious when we learn that "denying" the
Holocaust (a more correct term would be "disputing the genocide of the Jews") are
liable for criminal prosecution in several European countries (3). The model for this
impudent interference of the criminal justice system in the freedom of research is
perhaps the French "Loi Gayssot", passed in France in 1990 (4), which provides for
criminal penalties for anyone disputing any matter decided by the International
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. The sentence of the Nuremberg victor's tribunal has
therefore been declared infallible in France; it has been canonized, as it were. Even
Stalin did nothing of the kind.
In the BRD, revisionists are prosecuted according to paragraph 130 of the Criminal
Code ("Incitement to Racial Hatred") Paragraph 131 ("Slandering the Dead") and
paragraph 189 ("Slandering the Dead"). The first paragraph was considerably
broadened on 28 October 1994, and now calls for prison terms of up to five years for
anyone who approves, denies, or trivializes any criminal act alleged to have been
committed by the National Socialists. Since that date, there have been thousands of
trials of revisionists in Germany just since 28 October 1994.
In Austria, the so-called "Prohibition Law" against National Socialist activities has
served as the Hexenhammer in suppressing the freedom of research on the Holocaust
since 1992.
In France, Holocaust revisionists are liable for imprisonment for one year; in the
BRD, five years; and in Austria, ten years. In practice, however, the penalties are not
that severe. Not yet!
39
Here are the sentences from some particularly spectacular revisionist trials
in the BRD:
- in October 1992, Major General Remer, one of the most highly decorated soldiers of
WWII, was sentenced to 22 months without probation in Schweinfurt for "Holocaust
Denial", which, for the seriously ill old man, would have been equivalent to a death
sentence (Aktenzeichen Remer 1 Kls 8 Js 7494/91). Rather than serve the sentence,
Remer, accompanied by his wife, went into exile in Spain;
- in April 1995, Günter Deckert, Chairman of the NPD, was sentenced to two years
without probation for translating a technical talk by US gas chamber expert Fred
Leuchter (Aktenzeichen IV Kls 1/95 - 2AK 1/95). That Deckert laughed several times
during the translation, and shortened the sacrosanct Holy Word "Holocaust" to "Holo"
for short, was considered to have aggravated the offense (5);
- In June 1995, the chemist Germar Rudolf was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment
without probation in Stuttgart (Aktenzeichen 17 Kls 83/94). This sentence was passed
on the pretext that Major General Remer had sent Rudolf's report on the "gas
chambers" at Auschwitz (see chapter XII) to politicians, professors, and the media (6);
- In May 1996, the publisher Wigbert Grabert was fined 30,000 DM for publishing a
scientific revisionist anthology with the title Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte
(Aktenzeichen AG Tübingen 4 Gs 173/95)
- in May 1996, the political scientist and publisher Udo Walendy was sentenced to 15
months without probation (Aktenzeichen 2 Kls 46 Js 374/95 STA Bielefeld) for
"trivializing the Holocaust" (7).
In none of these terror trials did the court spend as much as one single second
considering the arguments of the defendants. Every case assumed the
"Offenkundigkeit" of the Holocaust, i.e., its alleged status as a "proven fact". This
"Offenkundigkeit", believe it or not, dates back to 1945! According to article 21 of the
London Statutes of August 1945, which established the procedural rules for the
Nuremberg Trials, no proof was required of "facts of common knowledge". Just what
constituted a "fact of common knowledge" was, of course, decided by the court itself -
- a court which, in the words of chief prosecutor Robert Jackson, considered its
actions a "continuation of the war against Germany" (8). Thus, the status of the
"Offenkundigkeit" of an assembly-line extermination of the Jews with millions of
victims, was simply considered to be a "fact of common knowledge", for which,
therefore, no proof other than "confessions" and "eyewitness testimonies" is available
today.
All these trials violate the basic right to free expression of opinion as guaranteed
under the Constitutions of all the states concerned. It is also illegal to deny a
defendant any opportunity to prove the truth of his statements; instead, expert reports
on the technical impossibilities of the reported mass extermination are always rejected
with reference to the "Offenkundigkeit" of the Holocaust.
Generally, the very notion that jurists are competent to decide matters of historical
fact is grotesque in itself. The following is an example:
40
In the book Hat Karl der Grosse Je Gelebt? [Was There Ever Really a Charlemagne?]
(9), the Munich scholar Herbert Illig disputes the existence of Charlemagne, and
declares the whole period from 614 to 911 A.D. to be a product of fantasy. This entire
period of 297 years, together with Charlemagne and all the other historical figures of
the same period, are alleged to have been invented by subsequent falsifiers of history
for political reasons. The absence of any structures built during the three so-called
"centuries of the Dark Ages" is the logical result of the non-existence of this period of
history: an analysis of architectural monuments is said to show that the few structures
alleged to have been built during this period, were, in reality, built later.
Due to an insufficient familiarity with the history of the early Middle Ages on our
part, we shall refrain from expressing an opinion as to the value of Illig's book. If his
arguments should prove to be sheer fantasy, they will be ignored. If they should prove
correct, the author will be sooner or later have to be recognized as a genius. There is
another, third possibility, i.e., that Charlemagne actually lived, but never performed
many of the heroic deeds attributed to him. In this case, Illig's work would still have a
seminal influence upon the writing of history by pointing out its shortcomings --
particularly, an overly blind trust in the reliability of the sources employed.
One thing is for certain: Illig will never be hauled into court because of his book. No
judge will ever jail him for "Denying the Genocide of the Pagans", although, by
disputing Charlemagne's existence, he is, in effect, denying the mass murder of Saxon
pagans attributed to him.
In short, Charlemagne, or any other historical subject for that matter, may be
researched with complete freedom and the broadest possible latitude. The same
statement is true of every other period of history -- except the Second World War,
and, in particular, the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich. This fact alone ought to
make every thinking person deeply suspicious: "truths" that require protection by
criminal law usually turn out to be lies.
The bankruptcy of the official version of history
"Historians have only interpreted the Holocaust. The thing is to research it."
Ulrich Herbert, German historian, in the Frankfurter Rundschau of 13 February 1997,
p. 7.
The Lausanne daily Nouveau Quotidien on 2 and 3 September 1996, published two
articles by the historian Jacques Baynac (an anti-revisionist). The first bore the
promising title "How the Historians Turned the Job of Silencing the Revisionists Over
to the Courts". That means: the governmental persecution of revisionists described
above is the logical consequence of the inability of orthodox historians to come up
with any counter-argument with which to answer the revisionists. While revisionists
RESEARCH the Holocaust, historians are simply content to INTERPRET it. The
facts are irrelevant.
An excellent example of this may be seen in Gunnar Heinsohn's book Warum
Auschwitz? [Why Auschwitz?] (10). At the very beginning of the book, Heinsohn
mentions an alleged Himmler order issued on 25 November 1944 on the disassembly
