Abstract
At the Nuremberg trial (1945-1946), a tribunal of the
victors accused a defeated Germany notably
1)
of having ordered and planned the physical extermination of
the Jews of Europe;
2)
of having, to that end, designed and used certain weapons of
mass destruction, in particular those that it called
gas chambers;
3)
of having, essentially with those weapons but also through
other means, caused the death of six million
Jews.
In support of that threefold accusation, regularly taken up
over the past sixty years by all the main communications
media in the West, no proof capable of standing up to
examination has been produced. Professor Robert Faurisson
concluded in 1980:
The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged
genocide of the Jews form one and the same historical lie,
which has permitted a gigantic political and financial
swindle whose main beneficiaries are the state of Israel and
international Zionism and whose main victims are the German
people but not their leaders and the
Palestinian people in their entirety.
In 2006 he maintains that conclusion in full. In nearly
sixty years, the revisionists, beginning with the Frenchmen
Maurice Bardèche and Paul Rassinier, have
accumulated, from the historical and scientific point of
view, an impressive series of victories over their
opponents. Twenty examples of such victories, running from
1951 to today, are given here.
Revisionism is not an ideology but a method inspired by the
search for exactitude in matters of history. Circumstances
have seen to it that revisionism is also the great
intellectual adventure of the present time.
Foreword
The
present summary has as its title The Victories of
Revisionism and not History
of Revisionism or Arguments of the Revisionist
Case. It deals only with victories that our opponents
have had to concede to us either explicitly or implicitly.
Therefore one must not expect to find here a systematic
mention of revisionist authors, works or arguments. If still
I had to recommend a short sample of revisionist readings, I
should suggest the prime work of reference that is The
Hoax of the Twentieth Century / The Case Against the
Presumed Extermination of European Jewry,
published by Arthur Robert Butz in 1976. The book is
masterful. In the thirty years of its existence no one has
attempted the least refutation, so solidly is it built; I
especially recommend the 2003 edition, enhanced by five
remarkable supplements. It would also be appropriate to read
Fred Leuchters famous study, An Engineering Report
on the Alleged Execution Gas Chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau
and Majdanek, Poland, particularly in the gilt cover
edition issued by Samisdat Publishers in Toronto in 1988,
containing, on page 42, the text of a letter of capital
importance, dated May 14, 1988, on the utter absence of
openings in the roofs of the alleged gas chambers of
crematoria II and III at Auschwitz-Birkenau. F. Leuchter has
also produced three other reports on the gas chamber
question. Not to be missed is German research chemist Germar
Rudolfs Lectures on the Holocaust / Controversial
Issues Cross Examined, Theses & Dissertations Press
(PO Box 257768, Chicago, IL 60625, USA), 2005, 566 p., along
with the same authors impressive periodical series
(more than thirty issues to date) that he has brought out
under the title Vierteljahreshefte für freie
Geschichtsforschung, not to mention his English language
magazine The Revisionist and a fair number of other
publications. All told, the work done thus far by G. Rudolf
(now aged 42 and imprisoned in Germany) amounts to a
formidable scientific landmark. Finally, let us cite
Canadian barrister Barbara Kulaszkas opus magnum
Did Six Million Really Die ? / Report of the
Evidence in the Canadian False News Trial of
Ernst Zündel, 1988, published in 1992; with its
compact print it is equivalent to a volume of about a
thousand pages in regular book format. The text shows how,
during Ernst Zündels two long trials in Toronto
in 1985 and 1988, the other side, when confronted with the
revisionist argumentation, simply collapsed: a real
Stalingrad for the orthodox historians, beginning with the
biggest of them all, Raul Hilberg. Essential studies have
been written by the Germans Wilhelm Stäglich and Udo
Walendy, the Italian Carlo Mattogno, the Spaniard Enrique
Aynat Eknes, the Swiss Jürgen Graf and ten or so other
authors. The 97 issues of The Journal of Historical
Review (1980-2002), in good part due to the American
Mark Weber, constitute a mine of information on all aspects
of revisionist research. In France, Pierre Guillaume, Serge
Thion, Henri Roques, Pierre Marais, Vincent Reynouard, Jean
Plantin have picked up where Maurice Bardèche and
Paul Rassinier left off. There are now countless
revisionist-oriented publications and websites throughout
the world, and this despite the prevailing censorship and
repression.
Nonetheless
the Holocaust remains the lone official religion
of the entire West, a murderous religion if ever there was
one. And one that continues to fool millions of good souls
in the crudest ways: the display of heaps of eyeglasses,
hair, shoes or valises presented as relics of
the gassed, faked or deceptively exploited
photographs, texts of innocuous papers altered or purposely
misinterpreted, endless proliferation of monuments,
ceremonies, shows, the drumming of the Shoah into our heads
as early as primary school, organised excursions to the holy
sites of alleged Jewish martyrdom and great show trials with
their calls for lynch-law.
***
President Ahmadinejad has used the right word: the alleged
Holocaust of the Jews
is a myth,
that is, a belief maintained by credulity or
ignorance. In France it is perfectly
lawful to proclaim unbelief in God but it is forbidden to
say that one does not believe in the Holocaust,
or simply that one has doubts about it. This prohibition of
any kind of disputing became formal and official with the
law of July 13, 1990. The said law was published in the Journal
officiel de la République française on the
next day, that is, the 14th of July, day of
commemoration of the Republic and of Freedom. It states that
the punishment may run to as much as a years
imprisonment and a fine of up to
€45,000, but there may also
be orders to pay damages and the considerable costs of
judicial publication. Relevant case law specifies that all
this applies even if [such disputing] is
presented in veiled or dubitative form or by way of
insinuation (Code pénal, Paris, Dalloz,
2006, p. 2059). Thus France has but one official myth, that
of the Holocaust, and
knows but one form of blasphemy, that which offends the Holocaust.
On July 11, 2006 I personally was once more summoned
to appear before a Paris court on the grounds of that
special law. The presiding judge, Nicolas Bonnal, had
recently attended a training course on the means of cracking
down on revisionism over the Internet, a course organised by
the European office of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, in
Paris, under the auspices of the Conseil
représentatif des institutions juives de France
(CRIF) (Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of
France)! In a release triumphantly headed The CRIF
plays an active part in the training of European
judges this Jewish body, whose political force is
exorbitant, was not afraid of announcing urbi et orbi
that it listed Nicolas Bonnal amongst
its pupils or trainees. And that
is not all. At my trial, for good measure, the State
prosecutrix happened to be a Jewess by the name of Anne de
Fontette; in the closing words of her talk requesting
conviction and sentencing, she, although supposedly speaking
in the name of a secular State, called for the vengeance of
Yahweh, protector of his chosen people against
the lying lips of Faurisson, guilty of having
granted a telephone interview of revisionist character to an
Iranian radio and television station, Sahar 1.
The findings of revisionist
researchThe Germans of the Third Reich wanted to
extirpate the Jews from Europe but not to exterminate
them. They sought a
definitive or final
territorial solution of the Jewish question and
not a final solution in the sense of any
physical suppression (to want a final solution of
unemployment is not to desire the death of the
unemployed). The Germans had concentration camps but
not extermination camps (an expression forged by
Allied propaganda). They used disinfection gas
chambers operating notably with an insecticide called
Zyklon-B (the active ingredient of which was hydrogen
cyanide) but never had any homicidal gas chambers or
homicidal gas vans. They used crematory ovens to
incinerate corpses and not to throw living beings into
them. After the war, the photographs purportedly exposing
Nazi atrocities showed us camp inmates who were
either sick, dying or dead, but not killed. What with
the Allies blockade and their area bombing
of Germany, and the apocalypse experienced by the latter
towards the end of a nearly six-year long conflict,
famine and epidemics, notably of typhus, had ravaged
the country and, in particular, the camps in the western
regions, overwhelmed by the arrivals en masse of detainees
evacuated from the camps in the East, and thus severely
lacking in food, medicine and the Zyklon-B needed for protection
against typhus.
In the butchery that is a war, people suffer. In a
modern war,
the belligerent nations
civilians at times suffer as much if not more than their
soldiers. During the conflict that, from 1933 to 1945,
pitted them against the Germans, the European Jews thus had
occasion to suffer but infinitely less so than they dare to
assert with such a nerve. Certainly the Germans treated them
as a hostile or dangerous minority (there were reasons for
that), and against these people the Third Reich authorities
were led to take, due to the war, more and more coercive
police or military security measures. In certain cases those
measures amounted to placement in internment camps or indeed
to deportation to concentration or forced labour camps.
Sometimes Jews were even executed for sabotage, spying,
terrorism and, especially, for guerrilla activities in
favour of the Allies, mainly on the Russian front, but not
for the simple reason that they were Jewish. Never did
Hitler order or permit the killing
of a person because of his or her race or religion. As for
the figure of six million Jewish deaths, it is a pure
invention that has never been substantiated despite the
efforts in that regard by the Yad Vashem Institute of
Jerusalem.
In the face of the formidable accusations thrown at a
defeated Germany the revisionists have said to the accusers:
1)
Show us
one single document that, in your
view, proves that Hitler or any other National-Socialist
ordered and planned the physical extermination of the Jews;
2)
Show us that
weapon of mass destruction which, as alleged, was a gas
chamber; show us a single one of them, at Auschwitz or
elsewhere; and if, by chance, you claim that you cannot show
us any because, according to you, the Germans destroyed the
murder weapon, provide us at least with a
technical drawing representing one of those slaughterhouses
which,
as you say, the Germans destroyed
and explain to us how that weapon with such a fabulous
killing performance had been able to work without bringing
on the death of either those who ran it or their helpers;
3)
Explain to us
how you have arrived at your figure of six million
victims.
However, in over sixty years, the Jewish or non-Jewish
accusing historians have shown themselves to be incapable of
offering a response to these requests. Thus they have been
accusing without any evidence. That is what is called
slander.
But there is something yet more serious: the
revisionists have set forth a series of established facts
proving that the physical extermination, gas chambers and
six million in question cannot have existed. 1) The first of
these facts is that, for the entire duration of the war,
millions of European Jews lived, plain for all to see,
amidst the rest of the population, a good part of them being
employed in factories by the Germans who were cruelly short
of manpower, and those millions of Jews were therefore not
killed. Better still: the Germans stubbornly offered to hand
over to the Allies, up to the last months of the conflict,
as many Jews as they might want on the express condition
that they must not subsequently send them to Palestine; this
proviso was made out of respect for the noble and
valiant Arab people of that region, already violently
beset by Jewish colonists. 2) The second fact, which is
carefully hidden from us, is that excesses which might be
committed against Jews could well bring on the severest
sanctions: the killing of a single Jew or Jewess could get
the perpetrator, although he be a German soldier, sentenced
to death by court martial and shot. In other words, the Jews
under German rule continued to enjoy, if they observed the
regulations in place, the protection of penal law, even in
the face of the armed forces. 3) The third of these facts is
that the alleged Nazi gas chambers of Auschwitz or elsewhere
are quite simply inconceivable for obvious physical and
chemical reasons; never after the purported hydrogen cyanide
gassing of hundreds or thousands of persons in a closed
space could others have soon entered in a veritable bath of
that poison and proceeded to handle and remove so many
corpses which, steeped with cyanide gas on both outside and
inside, would have become untouchable. Hydrogen
cyanide adheres firmly to surfaces; it penetrates even
cement and bricks and is very difficult to remove from a
room by ventilation; it penetrates the skin, it settles
within the body, mixing with its fluids. In the United
States it is precisely this
poison that is used still today in
an execution chamber to kill a condemned prisoner, but that
precise chamber is of steel and glass and is equipped with
machinery which is, of necessity, quite complex, calling for
extraordinary precautions in its use; it is enough to see an
American gas chamber designed for putting to death a lone
individual to realise that the alleged Auschwitz gas
chambers, which supposedly served to kill crowds of
individuals, day after day, can neither have existed nor
functioned.
But then, as people will ask, what became of all those
Jews concerning whom we revisionists have concluded from our
research that they were never killed? The answer is already
there, right before our eyes and within everyones
grasp: a part of the Jewish population of Europe died, like
tens of millions of non-Jews, due to the war and to hunger
and disease, and another part plainly and simply survived
the war in their millions. These latter fraudulently had
themselves dubbed miraculous survivors. In 1945
the survivors and miraculous
escapees were there to be counted by the million and
they spread throughout the world to fifty or so countries,
beginning with Palestine. How could an alleged decision of
total physical extermination of the Jews have so engendered
millions of miraculous Jewish survivors? With
millions of miraculous survivors there is no
longer any miracle: it is a false miracle, a lie, a
fraud.
For my part, in 1980 I summed up, in a sentence of
sixty French words, the findings produced by revisionist
research:
The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide
of the Jews form one and the same historical lie, which has
permitted a gigantic political and financial swindle whose
main beneficiaries are the state of Israel and international
Zionism and whose main victims are the German people
but not their leaders and the Palestinian people in
their entirety.
Today, in 2006, that is, twenty-six years later, I maintain
that sentence in full. It had not been inspired by any
political or religious sympathy or antipathy whatsoever. It
had its ground in certified facts that had begun to be
brought to light, on the one hand, by Maurice
Bardèche in 1948 and 1950 in his two books on the
Nuremberg trial and, on the other hand, by Paul Rassinier
who, also in 1950, published his Le Mensonge
dUlysse (Ulyssess Lie) (See The Holocaust
Story and the Lies of Ulysses, Costa Mesa, California,
Institute for Historical Review, 1990, XVIII-447 p.).
From 1951 onwards, year after year, our adversaries, so rich,
so mighty, so bent on practising all possible forms of
repression against historical revisionism, have found
themselves progressively forced to admit that we are
right on the technical, scientific and historical
levels. The victories achieved by Second World War
revisionism are many and significant, but, as must sadly be
recognised, they still remain, in our day, almost wholly
unknown to the greater public. The mighty have done
everything to conceal these victories from the world. That
is understandable: their domination and sharing of the world
between them are in a way grounded in the religion of the
alleged Holocaust of the Jews. Calling the
Holocaust into question, publicly disclosing the
extraordinary imposture of it all, pulling the masks off the
politicians, journalists, historians, academics and people
of the churches, clans and coteries who, for more than sixty
years, have been preaching falsehoods whilst all the time
casting anathema on the unbelievers, amounts to a perilous
adventure. But, as will be seen here, despite the
repression, time seems in the end to be on the
revisionists side.
Examples of revisionist
victories
I
shall recall here just twenty of these victories:
1) In 1951 the Jew Léon Poliakov, who had been
part of the French delegation at the Nuremberg trial
(1945-1946), stated his conclusion that we had at our
disposal an overabundance of documents for all points of the
history of the Third Reich, with the exception of one point
alone: the campaign to exterminate the Jews. For
this, he wrote, No
document remains,
perhaps none has ever existed (Bréviaire
de la haine, Paris,
Calmann-Lévy, 1974
[1951], p. 171; English version: Harvest of
Hate, New York, Holocaust Library, 1979, revised and
expanded edition).
Remark:
There is here an extraordinary concession to the revisionist
case. In effect, such a formidable criminal undertaking
supposedly conceived, ordered, organised and perpetrated by
the Germans would have necessitated an order, a plan,
instructions, a budget,
Such an undertaking, carried
out over several years on a whole continent and generating
the death of millions of victims, would have left a flood of
documentary evidence. Consequently, if we are told that
there perhaps has never existed any such documentary
evidence, it is because the crime in question was not
perpetrated. In the complete absence of documents, the
historian has no longer anything to do but keep quiet. L.
Poliakov made this concession in 1951, that is, fifty-five
years ago. However, it must be noted that, from 1951 to
2006, his successors have equally failed to find the least
documentary evidence. Occasionally, here and there, we have
witnessed attempts at making us believe in such or such
discovery but each time, as will be seen below, the
discoverers and their publicists have had to
drop their claim.
2) In 1960 Martin Broszat, a member of the Institute
of Contemporary History in Munich, wrote: Neither at
Dachau, nor at Bergen-Belsen, nor at Buchenwald were any
Jews or other detainees gassed (Keine Vergasung
in Dachau, Die Zeit, August 19, 1960, p. 16).
Remark:
This sudden and unexplained concession is significant. At
the Nuremberg trial the only homicidal gas chamber that the
accusation ventured to show in a film had been that of
Dachau, and the testimonies telling of alleged homicidal
gassings in the three above-mentioned camps had been
numerous. M. Broszat thus implicitly acknowledged that those
testimonies were false. He did not tell us in what respect
they were false. Nor did he tell us in what respect other
such testimonies relating, for example, to Auschwitz,
Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor or Belzec should, for their
part, go on being deemed reliable. In the 1980s, at Dachau,
a sign indicated in five languages that the gas
chamber disguised as showers, visited by the tourists,
was never used as such. The revisionists had
then asked in what respect the room could be termed a
homicidal gas chamber, whereupon the Dachau
Museum authorities took down the sign and replaced it with
another on which, in German and English, can now be read:
Gas chamber. This was the
center of potential mass murder. The room was disguised as
showers and equipped with fake shower spouts to
mislead the victims and prevent them from refusing to enter
the room. During a period of 20 minutes up to 150 people at
a time could be suffocated to death through prussic acid
poison gas (Zyklon B). One will note the words
potential and could, the choice of
which attests to a fine bit of trickery: the information
spawns in visitors minds the idea that the said
gas chamber was effectively used for killing
but, at the same time, it enables the museum to retort to
revisionists: We havent expressly said that this
gas chamber was used for killing; weve merely said
that it could be or could have been, at the
time, used to kill a certain number of people. To
conclude, in 1960 M. Broszat, without any explanation,
decreed in a simple letter that no one had been gassed at
Dachau; thenceforth, the Dachau Museum authorities, quite
embarrassed, have tried, by means of assorted deceitful
ploys varying over time, to fool their visitors into
believing that, in this room that looks like showers (and
for good reason, since that is what it was), people had well
and truly been gassed.
3) In 1968 the Jewish historian Olga Wormser-Migot,
in her thesis on Le Système concentrationnaire
nazi, 1933-1945, (Paris, Presses universitaires de
France), gave an ample exposition of what she called
the problem of the gas chambers (p. 541-544).
She voiced her scepticism as to the worth of some well-known
witnesses accounts attesting to the existence of gas
chambers in camps such as Mauthausen or Ravensbrück. On
Auschwitz-I she was categorical: that camp where, still
today, tourists visit an alleged gas chamber was, in
reality, without any gas chamber (p. 157).
Remark:
To bring their horrible charges of homicidal gassings
against the defeated, the accusers have relied solely on
testimonies and those testimonies have not been
verified. Let us take note of the particular case of
Auschwitz-I: it was thus 38 years ago that a Jewish
historian had the courage to write that this camp was
without any gas chamber; however, still today,
in 2006, crowds of tourists there visit an enclosed space
that the authorities dare to present, fallaciously, as a
gas chamber. Here we see a practice of outright
deceit.
4) In 1979 thirty-four French historians signed a
lengthy joint declaration in reply to my technical arguments
aiming to demonstrate that the allegation of the existence and functioning of the Nazi gas chambers ran up
against certain radical material impossibilities. According
to the official version, Rudolf Höss, one of the three
successive Auschwitz commandants, had confessed (!)
and described how Jews had been gassed at Auschwitz and
Birkenau. According to that very vague confession, when the
victims appeared to have breathed their last gasp, a
ventilation apparatus was switched on and a squad of Jewish
prisoners immediately entered the vast room to remove the
corpses and carry them as far as the crematory ovens. R.
Höss said that those Jews went about this work
nonchalantly, whilst smoking and eating. I had pointed out
that this could not be: one cannot go into premises
saturated with hydrogen cyanide gas (a poisonous,
penetrating and explosive compound) whilst smoking and
eating and then touch, handle and take out, using all
ones strength, thousands of bodies suffused with that
poison and therefore untouchable. In their declaration the
thirty-four historians answered me thus: It must
not be asked how, technically, such a mass-murder was possible. It was technically possible, since
it happened (Le Monde, February 21, 1979,
p. 23).
Remark:
That answer amounts to a dodging of the enquiry put forth.
If someone shirks a question in this manner, it is because
he is incapable of answering. And if thirty-four historians
find themselves to such a degree unable to explain how a
crime of these dimensions was perpetrated, it is because
that crime defies the laws of nature; it is therefore
imaginary.
5) Also in 1979, the American authorities finally
decided to make public certain aerial photographs of
Auschwitz which, up to then, they had kept hidden. With
either cynicism or naivety, the two authors of the
publication, former CIA men Dino A. Brugioni and Robert G.
Poirier, gave their little set of photos the title The
Holocaust Revisited and tacked on here and there labels
bearing the words gas chamber(s), but, in their
commentaries, there was nothing whatever to justify those
designations. (Central Intelligence Agency, Washington,
February 1979, ST-79-10001).
Remark:
Today, in 2006, this trickery makes our thoughts turn to the
miserable demonstration by the former American government
minister Colin Powell when trying to prove, by the same
device of having labels stuck onto aerial photos, the
existence of works for the manufacture of weapons of
mass destruction in Saddam Husseins Iraq. In
reality, those photos of Auschwitz slap discredit on the
case for Nazi gas chambers. What can be distinctly made out
on them are serene crematoria structures, with no crowds
huddled outside waiting to enter the alleged changing rooms
and the alleged death chambers. The surrounding grounds are
free of obstruction and visible from all directions. The
flowerbeds in the patches of garden round the crematories
are neatly laid-out and bear no trace of being stamped upon,
every day, by thousands of people. Crematorium n°3, for
instance, abuts on what we know to have been, thanks to
sound documents from the Auschwitz State Museum, a football
field and is close to a volleyball court (Hefte von
Auschwitz, 15, 1975, plate on page 56 and page 64). It
is also close to eighteen hospital barracks of the
mens camp. There were thirty-two Allied air missions
above this zone which also comprised the large industrial
installations of Monowitz. It is understandable that the
Allied aviation should have attacked the industrial sector
several times whilst sparing as much as possible what was
obviously a concentration, labour and transit camp and not
an extermination camp, on which there fell, in
the end, only a few stray bombs.
6) On April 21, 1982 an association (the
ASSAG), was created in Paris for the study
of murders by gassing under the National-Socialist
regime, with a view to seeking and verifying
elements bearing proof of the use of poison gasses in
Europe by the officials of the National-Socialist regime
to kill persons of various nationalities, to
contributing to the publication of this evidence, to
making, to that purpose, all useful contacts on the national
and international level. Article 2 of the
associations charter stipulates: The
Association shall last as long as shall be necessary to
attain the objectives set forth in Article 1.
However, this association, founded by fourteen persons,
amongst whom Germaine Tillion, Georges Wellers,
Geneviève Anthonioz née de Gaulle, barrister
Bernard Jouanneau and Pierre Vidal-Naquet, has, in nearly a
quarter of a century, never published anything and, to this
day in 2006, remains in existence. In the event that it be
maintained, wrongly, that the group has produced a book
entitled Chambres à gaz, secret dÉtat
(Gas chambers, State secret), it will be fitting to
recall that the book in question is in fact the French
translation of a work first published in German by Eugen
Kogon, Hermann Langbein and Adalbert Rückerl and in
which there featured a few contributions by a few members of
the ASSAG (Paris, Editions de Minuit, 1984;
English translation published as Nazi Mass Murder: a
documentary history of the use of poison gas, New Haven,
Yale University Press, 1994).
Remark:
By itself the books French title gives a fair idea of
the contents: instead of proof, supported by photographs of
gas chambers, drawings, sketches, forensic reports on the
crime weapon, the reader finds only speculations based on
what is called evidence
(éléments de preuve, elements of
proof, not proof), and this because, we are told,
those gas chambers had constituted the greatest possible
secret, a State secret. If ever there were a
weapon of mass destruction that deserved a
well-done forensic examination, it was indeed this one. In
effect, it constitutes an anomaly in the history of science
for at least two reasons: it had no precedent and has had no
continuation; it arose out of nothing only to return to
nothingness. However, the history of science knows of no
such phenomenon. In any case, by the very fact of its
existence yet today in 2006, one may say that the ASSAG
association has still not attained the objective for which
it was founded nearly twenty-five years ago. It has still
found neither proof nor even any evidence of the Nazi
gas chambers existence.
7) In 1982, from June 29 to July 2, an international
symposium was held in Paris, at the Sorbonne, under the
chairmanship of two Jewish historians, François Furet
and Raymond Aron. According to the organisers, it was to
reply authoritatively and publicly to Robert Faurisson and
a handful of anarcho-communists who had given
him their support (an allusion to Pierre Guillaume,
Jean-Gabriel Cohn-Bendit, Serge Thion and a few other
free-thinking persons, some of them Jewish). On the last
day, at a much-awaited press conference, the two chairmen
had to admit publicly that, despite the most scholarly
research, no order given by Hitler to kill the Jews
had been found. As for the gas chambers, they did not even
make an allusion to them.
Remark:
This symposium constituted the first out-in-the-open attempt
to show the general public that the revisionists were lying.
As at other gatherings of the same kind (notably one held in
1987, again at the Sorbonne), revisionists were barred entry
and, like all other such gatherings without exception, it
ended in utter failure for the organisers.
8) On April 26, 1983, the long-running lawsuit
against me for personal injury through falsification
of history (sic), begun, notably by Jewish
organisations, in 1979, came to an end. On that day the
first chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal, civil division
section A, presided by judge Grégoire, whilst
upholding a judgment finding me liable for personal
injury, paid solid tribute to the quality of my work.
It ruled, in effect, that there could be detected in my
writings on the gas chambers no trace of rashness, no
trace of negligence, no trace of having deliberately
overlooked anything, nor any trace of a lie and that, as a
consequence, the appraisal
of the value of the findings [on the gas
chambers] defended by Mr
Faurisson is a matter, therefore, solely for experts,
historians and the public.
Remark:
If there cannot be found in the work of an author proposing
to refute the case for the gas chambers either any rashness,
negligence, deliberate oversight, lies or
falsification, that is proof that the work in
question is the product of a serious, careful,
conscientious, upright and genuine researcher, proof good
enough to ensure the legal right to maintain publicly, as he
himself does, that the said gas chambers are but a myth.
9) In 1983, on May 7, Simone Veil, who is Jewish and
herself a survivor of the genocide, declared on
the subject of the gas chambers: In the course of a
case brought against Faurisson for having denied the
existence of the gas chambers, those who bring the case are
compelled to provide formal proof of the gas chambers
reality. However, everyone knows that the Nazis destroyed
those gas chambers and systematically did away with all the
witnesses (France-Soir Magazine, May 7,
1983, p. 47).
Remark:
If there are neither any murder weapons nor testimonies,
then what is left? What is one to think of the places
presented to millions of deceived visitors as gas chambers?
What must be thought of the individuals who introduce
themselves as witnesses or miraculous survivors of the gas
chambers? For her part, S.
Veil is the first holocaustic authority to have thus given
to understand that any alleged witness to gassings can only
be a false witness. Already on March 6, 1979, in the
course of a televised discussion presented by the French
programme Dossiers de lécran
(Screen Files) about the airing of the American series
Holocaust, she had displayed her contempt for
one Maurice Benroubi, introduced as a witness of the
gas chambers. The latter, as a result, adopted an
attitude of extreme discretion compared with that shown in
his testimony, which had appeared shortly before
in the weekly LExpress (March 3-9, 1979, p.
107-110).
10) In 1961 the Jew Raul Hilberg, orthodox historian Number
One, published the first edition of his major work, The
Destruction of the European Jews, and it was in
1985 that he brought out the second edition, a
profoundly revised and corrected version. The distance
between the two is considerable and can only be explained by
the succession of victories achieved in the meantime by the
revisionists. In the first edition the author had brazenly
affirmed that the destruction of the Jews of
Europe had been set off following two consecutive
orders given by Hitler. He neither specified the date nor
reproduced the wording thereof. Then he professed to explain
in detail the political, administrative and bureaucratic
process of that destruction; for example he went so far as
to write that at Auschwitz the extermination of the Jews was
organised by an office that was in charge of both the
disinfection of clothing and the extermination of human
beings (The Destruction of the European Jews,
1961, republished in 1979 by Quadrangle Books,
Chicago, p. 177, 570). However, in 1983, going back
completely on that explanation, Hilberg suddenly proceeded
to state that the business of the destruction of the
European Jews had, after all, gone on without a plan,
without any organisation, centralisation, project or budget,
but altogether thanks to an incredible meeting
of minds, a consensus-mind reading by a far-flung
bureaucracy (Newsday, New York, February 23,
1983, p. II/3). He would confirm this explanation under oath
at the first Zündel trial in Toronto on January 16,
1985 (verbatim transcript, p. 848); he would soon
afterwards confirm it anew but with other words in the
greatly revised version of his above-mentioned work (New
York, Holmes & Meier, 1985, p. 53, 55, 62). He has just
recently, in October 2006, confirmed it yet again in
an interview given to Le Monde: There was no
pre-established guiding plan. As for the question of the
decision, it is in part unsolvable: no order signed by
Hitler has ever been found, doubtless because no such
document ever existed. I am persuaded that the bureaucracies
moved through a sort of latent structure: each decision
brings on another, then another, and so forth, even if it
isnt possible to foresee exactly the next step
(Le Monde des livres, October 20, 2006, p. 12).
Remark:
The Number One historian of the Jewish genocide, at a
certain point, thus found himself so helpless that he
suddenly proceeded to disown his first version and to
explain a gigantic undertaking of collective murder as if it
had all been carried out through something like the workings
of the Holy Spirit. In effect, since then he has evoked a
meeting of minds within a bureaucracy, terming
this meeting incredible. If it is
incredible or unbelievable, why then should it
be believed? Must one believe the unbelievable? He also
brings up mind reading and states it was
performed by consensus, but this is a matter of
pure intellectual speculation grounded in a belief in the
supernatural. How can one believe in such a phenomenon,
particularly within a vast bureaucratic structure and, still
more particularly, within the bureaucracy of the Third
Reich? It is worth noting that on R. Hilbergs example
the other official historians set about, in the 1980s and
1990s, abandoning history and lapsed into metaphysics and
jargon. They questioned themselves on the point of whether
one should be intentionalist or
functionalist: must it be supposed that the
extermination of the Jews occurred subsequent to an
intent (not yet proved) and in line with a
concerted plan (not yet found), or instead had that
extermination happened all by itself, spontaneously and
through improvisation, without there being any formal intent
and with no plan? This type of woolly controversy attests to
the disarray of historians who, unable to provide evidence
and real documents to back their case, are thus reduced to
theorising in the void. At bottom, those on one side, the
intentionalists, tell us: There were
necessarily an intent and a plan, which we havent yet
found but which we shall perhaps indeed discover one
day, whereas the others affirm: There is no need
to go looking for evidence of an intent and a plan, for
everything was able to occur without intent, without plan
and without leaving any traces; such traces are not to be
found because they have never existed.
11) In May 1986 in France, certain Jews, alarmed upon
realising that they could not manage to answer the
revisionists on the simple plane of reason, decided to take
action with a view to obtaining a legal prohibition of
revisionism. Chief amongst them were Georges
Wellers and Pierre Vidal-Naquet, grouped, with their
friends, round the countrys head rabbi
René-Samuel Sirat (Bulletin quotidien de
lAgence télégraphique juive, June
1986, p. 1, 3). After four years,
on July 13, 1990, they would get, thanks notably to Jewish
former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, then president of the
National Assembly, a
special law passed allowing for the punishment of any person
who publicly made revisionist statements on the subject of
the extermination of the Jews: up to a
years imprisonment, a fine of
45,000 and still other
sanctions. This recourse to force is a flagrant admission of
weakness.
Remark:
G. Wellers and P. Vidal-Naquet were
especially alarmed by the court decision of April 26, 1983
(see paragraph 8 above). The former wrote: The
court admitted that [Faurisson] was well documented,
which is false. It is astonishing that the court should fall
for that (Le Droit de vivre, June-July 1987, p.
13). The latter wrote that the Paris Court of Appeal recognised
the seriousness of Faurisson's work which is quite
outrageous
-and
finally found him guilty only of having acted malevolently
by summarising his theses as slogans
(Les Assassins de la mémoire, Paris, La
Découverte, 1987, p. 182; here quoted the English
translation: Assassins of
Memory, New York,
Columbia University Press, 1992).
12) In August 1986 Michel de Boüard, himself
deported during the war as a résistant,
professor of history and Dean of letters at the University
of Caen (Normandy), member of the Institut de France and
former head of the Commission dhistoire de la
déportation within the official Comité
dhistoire de la deuxième guerre mondiale,
declared that, all told, the dossier is
rotten. He specified that the dossier in question,
that of the history of the German concentration camp system,
was rotten due to, in his own words, a
huge amount of made-up stories, inaccuracies stubbornly
repeated particularly where numbers are concerned
amalgamations and generalisations. Alluding to
the revisionists studies, he added that there were
on the other side, very carefully done critical
studies demonstrating the inanity of those
exaggerations (Ouest-France of August
2nd and 3rd, 1986, p. 6).
Remark:
Michel de Boüard was a professional historian, indeed
the ablest French historian on the subject of the wartime
deportations. Up to 1985 he defended the strictly orthodox
and official position. Upon reading the revisionist Henri
Roquess doctoral thesis on the alleged testimony of SS
man Kurt Gerstein, he saw his error. He honestly
acknowledged it, going so far as to say that, if he hitherto
personally upheld the existence of a gas chamber in the
Mauthausen camp, he had done so wrongly, on the faith of
what was said around him. (His untimely death in 1989
deprived the revisionist camp of an eminent personality who
had resolved to publish a new work aiming to put historians
on their guard against the official lies of Second World War
history).
13) In 1988 Arno Mayer, an American professor of
Jewish origin teaching contemporary European history at
Princeton University, wrote on the subject of the Nazi gas
chambers: Sources for the study of the gas chambers
are at once rare and unreliable (The
Final Solution in History, New York,
Pantheon Books, p. 362).
Remark:
Still today in, 2006, the greater public persist in
believing that, as the media tirelessly suggest, the sources
for the study of the gas chambers are innumerable and
unquestionable. At the Sorbonne symposium of 1982, A. Mayer,
like his friend Pierre
Vidal-Naquet, could not find words harsh enough for
the revisionists; however, six years later, here was an
ultra-orthodox historian who had drawn considerably closer
to the revisionists findings.
14) In 1989 Swiss historian Philippe
Burrin, laying down as a premise, without demonstration, the
reality of Nazi gas chambers and Jewish genocide, attempted
to determine at what date and by whom the decision to
exterminate physically the Jews of Europe had been taken. He
did not succeed any more than all his
intentionalist or functionalist
colleagues (Hitler et les juifs
/ Genèse dun génocide,
Paris, Seuil; English version: Hitler and the Jews: the
Genesis of the Holocaust, London, Edward Arnold, 1994).
He had to remark the absence of traces of the crime and note
what he decided to call the stubborn erasure of the
trace of anyones passing through (p. 9). He
bemoaned the large gaps in the
documentation and added: There subsists
no document bearing an extermination order signed by
Hitler. [
] In all likelihood, the orders
were given verbally. [
] here the traces are
not only few and far between, but difficult to
interpret (p. 13).
Remark:
Here again is a professional historian who acknowledges that
he can produce no documents in support of the official case.
The greater public imagine that the traces of Hitlers
crime are many and unambiguous but the historian who has
examined the relevant documentation has, for his part, found
nothing but sparse semblances and traces, and
wonders what interpretation to give to them.
15) In 1992 Yehuda Bauer, professor at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, stated at an international
conference on the genocide of the Jews held in London:
The public still repeats, time after time, the
silly story that at Wannsee the extermination of the
Jews was arrived at (Jewish Telegraphic Agency release
published as Wannsees importance rejected,
Canadian Jewish News, January 30, 1992, p. 8).
Remark:
Apart from the fact that a careful reading of the
minutes of the Berlin-Wannsee meeting of January
20, 1942 proves that the Germans envisaged a
territorial final solution
[eine territoriale
Endlösung] of the Jewish question in
a geographical space to be determined, Yehuda Bauers
quite belated declaration confirms that this major point of
the case alleging the extermination of the Jews is in fact
worthless. Let us add, in our turn, that the extermination
of the Jews was decided on neither at Wannsee nor anywhere
else; the expression extermination camps is but
an invention of American war propaganda and there are
examples proving that, during that war, the killing of a
single Jewish man or woman exposed the perpetrator, whether
soldier or civilian, member of the SS or not, to German
military justice proceedings and the possibility of being
shot by firing squad (in sixty years, never has a sole
orthodox historian provided an explanation for such facts,
revealed by the defence before the Nuremberg tribunal
itself).
16) In January 1995 French historian Eric Conan,
co-author with Henry Rousso of Vichy, un passé qui
ne passe pas (Paris, Gallimard, 2001 [1994,
1996]; English edition: Vichy:
an ever-present past, Hanover,
New Hampshire and London, University Press of New England,
1998), wrote that I had been right after all to
certify, in the late 1970s, that the gas chamber thus far
visited by millions of tourists at Auschwitz was completely
fake. According to E. Conan,
expressing himself in a leading French weekly:
Everything in it is false [
]. In
the late 1970s, Robert Faurisson exploited these
falsifications all the better as the [Auschwitz]
museum administration balked at acknowledging them.
Conan went on: [Some people], like Théo
Klein [former president of the CRIF, the Representative
Council of Jewish Institutions of France],
prefer to leave it in its present state, whilst explaining
the misrepresentation to the
public: History is what it is; it suffices to tell it,
even when it is not simple, rather than to add artifice
to artifice. Conan then related a
staggering remark by Krystyna Oleksy, deputy director of the
Auschwitz National Museum, who, for her part,
could not find the resolve to explain the misrepresentation
to the public. He wrote: Krystyna Oleksy
[
] cant bring herself to do so:
For the time being [the room designated as a gas
chamber] is to be left as is, with nothing
specified to the visitor. Its too complicated.
Well see to it later on (Auschwitz:
la mémoire du mal [Auschwitz: the
remembrance of evil], LExpress, January
19-25, 1995, p. 68).
Remark:
This statement by a Polish official means, in plain
language: we have lied, we are lying and, until further
notice, we shall continue to lie. In 2005 I asked E. Conan
whether the Auschwitz Museum authorities had issued a denial
or raised any protest against the statement that he, in
1995, had ascribed to K. Oleksy. His answer was that there
had been neither denial nor protest. In 1996, this imposture
and others as well concerning the Auschwitz-I camp were
denounced by two Jewish authors, Robert Jan van Pelt and
Deborah Dwork, in a work they produced together:
Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present, Yale University
Press, 443 p. Here is a sampling of their words in that
regard: postwar obfuscation,
additions, deletions,
suppression,
reconstruction, largely a
postwar reconstruction (p. 363),
reconstructed,
usurpation,
re-created, four hatched
openings in the roof, as if for pouring Zyklon B into the
gas chamber below, were installed [after the
war] (p. 364),
falsified,
inexact,
misinformation,
inappropriate (p. 367),
falsifying (p. 369). In 2001 the
fallacious character of this Potemkin village gas chamber
was also acknowledged in a French booklet accompanying two
CD-Roms entitled Le Négationnisme; written by
Jean-Marc Turine and Valérie Igounet, it was prefaced
by Simone Veil (Radio France-INA, Vincennes, Frémeaux
& Associés).
17) In 1996 the leftwing French historian Jacques
Baynac, a staunch antirevisionist since 1978, ended up
admitting, after due consideration, that there was no
evidence of the Nazi gas chambers existence. One could
not fail to note, wrote Baynac, the absence of
documents, traces or other material evidence
(Le Nouveau Quotidien de Lausanne
[Switzerland], September 2, 1996, p. 16, and
September 3, 1996, p. 14). But he said that he carried on
believing in the existence of those magical gas
chambers.
Remark:
All in all, J. Baynac says: There is no evidence but I
believe, whereas a revisionist thinks: There is
no evidence, therefore I refuse to believe and it is my duty
to dispute.
18) In 2000, at the end of her book Histoire du
négationnisme en France (Paris, Gallimard),
Valérie Igounet published a long text by Jean-Claude
Pressac at the end of which the latter, who had been one of
the revisionists most determined opponents, signed a
veritable act of surrender. In effect, taking up the words
of professor Michel de Boüard, he stated that the
dossier on the concentration camp system was
rotten, and irremediably so. He wrote
asking: Can things be put back on an even keel?
and answered: It is too late. He added:
The current form, albeit triumphant, of the
presentation of the camp universe is doomed. He
finished by surmising that everything that had been invented
around sufferings all too real was bound for the
rubbish bins of history (p. 651-652). In
1993-1994, that protégé of the French Jew
Serge Klarsfeld and the American rabbi Michael Berenbaum,
Project Director at the Holocaust Memorial
Museum in Washington, had been acclaimed worldwide as an
extraordinary researcher who, in his book on Les
Crématoires dAuschwitz, la machinerie du
meurtre de masse (Paris, CNRS éditions, 1993;
English title: The Auschwitz
Crematories. The Machinery of Mass Murder),
had, it appeared, felled the hydra of revisionism. Here, in
V. Igounets book, he was seen signing his act of
surrender.
Remark:
The greater public are kept in ignorance of a major fact:
the man who had supposedly saved the day for History, who
once was presented by the world press as an extraordinary
researcher who had at last discovered the scientific proof
of the Nazi gas chambers existence, ended up
acknowledging his error. A few years later, not a single
newspaper or magazine announced his death.
19) In 2002, R. J. van Pelt, already mentioned,
published The Case for Auschwitz. Evidence from the
Irving Trial, Indiana University Press, XVIII-571 p. As
is widely known, David Irving, who at the very most is a
semi-revisionist ill-acquainted with the revisionist
argumentation, lost the libel suit he had recklessly brought
against the Jewish-American academic Deborah Lipstadt. He tried clumsily to make the case a perfectly right
one, for that matter that there had existed no
homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz. But he nonetheless
scored an essential point and, if Justice Charles Gray and
other judges after him had had more courage, that point
would have enabled him to succeed in his claim. The argument
was summed up in a four-word phrase that I first put forth
in 1994: No holes, no Holocaust. My
reasoning behind it was as follows: 1. Auschwitz is at the
centre of the Holocaust; 2. The great crematoria
of Auschwitz-Birkenau, or Auschwitz-II, are at the centre of
the vast Auschwitz complex; 3. At the heart of these
crematoria there were, supposedly, one or several homicidal
gas chambers; 4. At a single one of these crematoria
(crematorium n° 2), although it is in ruins, is it
today possible to go and examine the room said to have been
a gas chamber; it is the presumed scene of the crime, itself
presumed as well; 5. We are told that, in order to kill the
Jewish detainees locked inside, an SS man, moving about on
the concrete roof of the said gas chamber, poured Zyklon-B
pellets through four regular openings situated in the roof;
6. However, one need only have eyes to realise that no such
openings have ever existed there; 7. Therefore the crime
cannot have been committed. For R. J. van Pelt, testifying
against Irving, it was near torture trying to find a reply
to this argument. Justice Gray as well had to acknowledge
the apparent absence of evidence of holes
(p. 490 of the verbatim transcript) and, in a more general
way, he conceded that contemporaneous
documents yield little clear evidence of the existence of
gas chambers designed to kill humans (p. 489; for
more details one may consult pages 458-460, 466-467, 475-478
and 490-506). In the text of his judgment, Charles Gray
admitted surprise: I have to confess that, in common I
suspect with most other people, I had supposed that the
evidence of mass extermination of Jews in the gas chambers
at Auschwitz was compelling. I have, however, set aside this
preconception when assessing the evidence adduced by the
parties in these proceedings (13.71). Here the failure of the accusing historians is flagrant and Irving ought to
have won his case thanks to that observation by a judge who
was hostile towards him: the documents of the era furnish us
with but decidedly little clear evidence of the Nazi gas
chambers existence and thus of a German policy to
exterminate the Jews. Is this not, after all as we
have seen above , what several Jewish historians had
already concluded, beginning with Léon Poliakov in
1951?
20) In 2004 French historian Florent Brayard
published a work entitled La « solution finale
de la question juive ». La technique, le temps et
les catégories de la décision, Paris,
Fayard, 640 p. In 2005, in a review of this book, the
following three sentences could be read: It is known
that the Führer neither drafted nor signed any order to
eliminate the Jews, that the decisions for there were
several were taken in the secrecy of talks
with Himmler, perhaps Heydrich and/or
Göring. It is supposed that, rather than an
explicit order, Hitler gave his consent to his
interlocutors requests or projects. Perhaps he
did not even put it into words, but made himself understood
by a silence or an acquiescence (Yves Ternon,
Revue dhistoire de la Shoah, July-December
2005, p. 537).
Remark:
At nearly every word, these sentences show that their author
is reduced to adventurous speculations. When he dares to
express, without the benefit of the least clue, the notion
that Hitler perhaps made himself understood by a
silence or an acquiescence, he is merely taking up the
theory of the nod (the Führers mere
nod!) first voiced by American professor Christopher
Browning at the Zündel trial in Toronto in 1988. No
academic of antirevisionist persuasion has shown himself to
be more pitiful and foolish than that shabbos-goy. So true
is it that, destroyed by the revisionist victories, the
official case has ended up being emptied of all scientific
content.
An
assessment of these revisionist victories
Let us briefly recapitulate these revisionist victories.
Their backs set to the wall by the revisionists, the
official historians of the alleged physical extermination of
the Jews have ended up acknowledging that, from the
historical and scientific viewpoint, they are left without a
single argument to support their ghastly accusation. They
admit, in effect: 1) that they cannot invoke a single
document proving the crime; 2) that they are unable to
provide the least representation of the crime weapon; 3)
that they do not possess any proof nor even any evidence; 4)
that they cannot name a single truthful witness (see
above, S. Veils opinion on the matter); 5) that their
dossier is rotten (twice repeated), irremediably
rotten and that it is bound for the rubbish bins of
history; 6) that the sources formerly invoked have
revealed themselves to be not only rarer than was claimed
but also unreliable; 7) that the alleged traces of the crime
are few and far between, and difficult to interpret; 8) that
at their end there have been falsifications, misrepresentation,
artifice; 9) that in support of their case there has too
often been invoked a silly [sic]
story, that of a decision to exterminate the Jews
supposedly taken on January 20, 1942 at Berlin-Wannsee; 10)
that the foremost of their number, Raul Hilberg, is today
reduced to explaining it all, in a nonsensical way, by
supposed initiatives that the German bureaucracy had,
according to him, boldly taken without any order, plan,
instruction or supervision and thanks simply, it seems, to
an incredible meeting of minds and a
consensus-mind reading. These official historians have
not known how to answer any of the revisionists
requests or observations in the style of: 1) Show me
or draw me a Nazi gas chamber; 2) Bring me one
proof, one single piece of evidence of your own choosing, on
the grounds of which to assert that there was a
genocide; 3) Bring me one testimony, one single
testimony, the best one in your opinion or
again: 4) No holes, no Holocaust .
Finding themselves on the ropes, the court historians have
called on the law-courts to find against the revisionists,
but, contrary to all expectation, it has sometimes happened
that the judges have gone so far as to pay tribute to the
revisionists uprightness or to show their surprise
before the sparseness or absence of the accusers
documentary evidence. Then, first in France and later in a
number of other countries in Europe, these accusers have
called for the passing of special laws to silence the
revisionists. Here they have sealed their doom. To resort to
special laws, to the police and prisons is to admit
ones utter inability to use the arguments of reason,
history and science.
A hundred other arguments again could be recalled here to
prove that, on the plane of history and science, the
immense edifice of lies put up by the Holocaust
or Shoah sect has been thrown down, with not one
stone left upon another. In contrast to this expanse of
ruins, we have seen the construction of a whole revisionist
literature. In it can be discovered a profusion of
documents, photographs, expert studies, trial transcripts,
technical and scientific reports, testimonies, statistical
studies, all of which bearing on a hundred aspects of the
history of the Second World War that show what the lot of
the European Jews was in reality, and demonstrate in
striking manner that the Jewish version of that war is
largely of the order of myth. From the myth, the Jews
have gone on to mythology and from mythology on to religion
or, rather, to a semblance of religion. Today the
servants of that false religion appear more and more like
priests who carry on officiating and turning over the
hallowed phrases but, manifestly, no longer have the faith.
They seem no longer really to believe in their
credo. So it is, for instance, that for about
the last ten years they have been seen advising their flocks
to observe the greatest possible discretion on the subject
of the gas chambers. In his memoirs, published in French in
1994 and in English in 1995, the big false witness Elie
Wiesel wrote: "Let the gas
chambers remain closed to prying eyes, and to imagination"
(All Rivers Run to the Sea, New York, Knopf
[Random House], p. 74). Claude Lanzmann
(maker of the film Shoah), Daniel Goldhagen (author
of Hitlers Willing Executioners), Simone Veil
(former president of the European Parliament, quoted above),
François Léotard (a former French government
minister) have in the last few years become surprisingly
reserved, cautious or silent on the matter. Some months ago,
Jacques Attali (a Jewish businessman and historian) decreed:
The immense majority of Jews murdered were killed by
German soldiers and military policemens
individual weapons, between 1940 and 1942, and not by the
death-works, which were put into place afterwards
(Groupes de criminels?, LExpress,
June 1, 2006, p. 60). This implicit way of writing off the
alleged Nazi gas chambers is becoming regular practice.
Attempts are made to replace the Auschwitz lie with the lie
of Babi Yar or those of other fantastical slaughters in the
Ukraine or the Baltic countries but not once are we provided
with scientific evidence concerning them, such as reports of
exhumation and post-mortems as has been the case with the
real massacres perpetrated by the Soviets at Katyn, Vinnitsa
or elsewhere. As for the number of dead at Auschwitz, we are
hardly told any longer that it was 9,000,000 (as in the film
Nuit et Brouillard [Night
and Fog]), 8,000,000, 6,000,000 or 4,000,000 (as at the
Nuremberg trial or on the commemorative stones at
Auschwitz-Birkenau until 1990). The new religions
clerics are settling for 1,500,000 (as marked on those same
stones since 1995), or for 1,100,000, or for 700,000, (as
J.-C. Pressac wrote), or still for 510,000 (as Fritjof Meyer
concluded in 2002: Die Zahl der Opfer von
Auschwitz, Osteuropa, May 2003, p. 631-641),
all these latter figures being no better founded than the
previous ones.
General Conclusion
We are granted the privilege of witnessing, in this
beginning of the 21st century, a serious calling
into question of one of the greatest lies in history. The
myth of the Holocaust may well be aglow with a
thousand lights: in reality it is burning itself out. It
has served to justify the creation in the land of Palestine
of a warlike colony that has taken the name of Jewish
State and endowed itself with a Jewish
Army. It imposes on the Western world the yoke of a
Jewish or Zionist tyranny bringing itself to bear in all
fields of intellectual, academic and media activity. It
poisons the very soul of a great country, Germany. It has
allowed the extortion from the latter, as well as from a
good number of other Western countries, of exorbitant sums
in marks, in dollars or in euros. It overwhelms us with
films, with museums, with books that keep the flame of a
Talmudic-style hatred burning. It makes it possible to call
for an armed crusade against the axis of evil
and, for this, to fabricate, on demand, the most shameless
lies precisely in the pattern of the Great Lie of the
Holocaust, for there is no difference between
Adolf Hitlers weapons of mass destruction
and those of Saddam Hussein. It makes it possible to accuse
nearly the whole world and to demand repentance
and reparations everywhere, either for alleged
actions directed against Yahwehs chosen
people, an alleged complicity in the crime, or an
alleged general indifference to the fate of the Jews during
the Second World War. Under its belt it has a glut of rigged
trials, beginning with the loathsome Nuremberg trial. It has
sanctioned thousands of hangings of defeated soldiers, an
atrocious post-war Purge, the deportation of millions of
civilians chased from their ancestral homelands,
indescribable pillaging, tens of thousands of scandalous
legal proceedings, including those carried out today against
octogenarians or nonagenarians, attacked by
miraculous Jewish survivors giving their false
testimony. These abominations, this outrage of lies and
hatred, this hubris that one day or another destiny always
comes to punish, in short, all these excesses must end. No
nation has shown more patience with this Jewish or Zionist
hubris than the Arab nation; however we see that this nation
itself has now run out of patience. It is going to throw off
the Israeli yoke and have the West understand that the time
has come to seek real peace instead of supporting and arming
an artificial State that maintains itself only by force.
Even in the West, even in the United States, the scales are
falling off some peoples eyes and there is now a
certain awareness of the hazards imposed on the
international community by such prolonged submission to the
false religion of the Holocaust, no. 1 weapon,
sword and shield of the State of Israel.
Practical
Conclusion
There exist some practical means to launch a real
action against this false religion with its sanctuary
located at Auschwitz.
As
is known, in the heart of Auschwitz there is an emblematic
gas chamber. Up to now thirty million tourists have visited
it. It is an imposture; all the historians are aware of
this, as the authorities of the Auschwitz State Museum know
better than anyone. Yet UNESCO (the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), on
October 26, 1979, at the request of the Polish government,
put this camp on its list of World Heritage and Cultural
Property Sites, thus assuming the duty of preserving its
authenticity. For my part, I suggest therefore that the
matter of this fraud be formally referred to UNESCO, as it
constitutes an offence against education, science and
culture. In a more general manner, we could take up
the words of Jean-Gabriel Cohn Bendit in 1979: "Let us
fight for the destruction of those gas chambers they show
tourists in the camps where there were none, as we now
know (Libération, March 5, 1979,
p. 4).
There
exist other practical means to fight the tyranny of the
Holocaust myth, first amongst which is to
announce to the whole world these revisionist
victories which have thus far been kept hidden from
it. I trust the revisionists present at this gathering will
suggest other means and discuss them with us.
Practising
mendacity on a grand scale, the Holocaust
religionists have made themselves, little by little, the
enemies of the human race. For more than sixty years they
have progressively been putting the whole world, or just
about, under indictment. Their main target has, of course,
been Germany and all those who, alongside that country, had
thought it their duty to fight against Stalin in the same
way that others, in the opposing camp, believed they must
fight against Hitler. But, in their accusatory frenzy,
Jewish organisations have gone so far as to rebuke the
wartime Allies for an alleged criminal
indifference to the lot of the European Jews.
They have attacked Roosevelt, Churchill, De Gaulle, Pope
Pius XII, the International Committee of the Red Cross and
numerous other personalities, official bodies or countries
for not having denounced the existence of the
gas chambers. But how could what was so
obviously just a grotesque war rumour have been considered
verified? It is enough to read the book by the Jew Walter
Laqueur, The Terrible Secret (London, Weidenfeld
& Nicholson, 1980, 262 p.), to gather thirty or so
references to the widespread and thoroughly justified
scepticism in the Allied camp before the flood of rumours
originating from Jewish sources. Inquiries were carried out
enabling officials to conclude that the rumours were
unfounded. It was thus clear-sightedness and not
indifference that the Allies and others charged showed.
It was that same clear-sightedness which, after
the war, in their speeches or in their memoirs, Churchill,
De Gaulle and Eisenhower showed as they avoided mentioning,
even so much as once, the said
gas chambers.
War
and war propaganda need lies just as crusades and the
crusader spirit are fuelled by hatred. On the other
side, peace and friendship between peoples can only gain
from care being taken to achieve exactitude in
historical research, research that all must be able to carry
out in complete freedom.
Two appendices concerning the alleged
gas chamber of Auschwitz-I
1) Eric Conans 1995 statement in its entirety
Another delicate subject: what to do about the
falsifications bequeathed by the Communist
administration? In the fifties and sixties, several
buildings which had either disappeared or been put to other
use were reconstructed, with serious errors, and
presented as genuine. Some, too new, were
closed to the public. To say nothing of
the delousing chambers
that were at times presented as execution gas chambers.
These aberrations have been of great service to the
negationists, who have drawn on them for the main substance
of their fabrications. The example of crematorium I, the
lone one at Auschwitz I, is significant. In its morgue was
installed the first gas chamber. It functioned for a short
time, in early 1942: the isolation of the zone, called for
by the gassings, disrupted the camps activity. It was
therefore decided, towards the end of April 1942, to
transfer these lethal gassings to Birkenau, where they were
carried out, on essentially Jewish victims, on an industrial
scale. Crematorium I was subsequently turned into an
air-raid shelter, with an operating room. In 1948, during
the museums creation, crematorium I was
reconstituted in its supposed original state. Everything
in it is false: the gas chambers dimensions, the
location of the doors, the openings for the pouring in of
the Zyklon B, the ovens, rebuilt according to what the
survivors remembered, the height of the chimney. In the
late 1970s, Robert Faurisson exploited these
falsifications all the better as the museum administration
balked at acknowledging them. An
American negationist has recently shot a video inside the
gas chamber (still presented as authentic): in it he
can be seen addressing his revelations to the
visitors. Jean-Claude Pressac, one of the first to establish
exactly the history of this gas chamber and its
modifications during and after the war, proposes that it be
restored to its 1942 state, basing his suggestion on the
German blueprints that he has recently found in the Soviet
archives. Others, like Théo Klein, prefer to
leave it in its present state, whilst explaining the
misrepresentation to the public: History is
what it is; it suffices to tell it, even when it is not
simple, rather than to add artifice to
artifice. Krystyna Oleksy, whose
directors office, which occupies the old SS hospital,
looks straight out on to crematorium I, has not resigned
herself to do so: For the time being, it is to be
left as is, with nothing specified to the
visitor. Its too complicated. Well see to it
later on. (Eric Conan,
Auschwitz: la mémoire du mal,
LExpress, January 19-25, 1995, pages 54-69; p.
68)
In his lengthy study, E. Conan wanted to show the great distance
between “remembrance” and history. He did so without calling into
question the dogma of the “Holocaust”; he even went so far as to
state his belief in the existence of the weapon of mass destruction
called “gas chamber”, and he posited certain assertions devoid of
the least scientific foundation as being exact and demonstrated.
Nonetheless he had the courage to denounce some serious lies,
amongst which that of the
emblematic “gas chamber” presented today to visitors at
Auschwitz. And he dares to admit that, in the late 1970s, I was
right about the matter. In 2005 I asked him whether his study had
given rise to any rectifications or protests, particularly on the
part of the Auschwitz State Museum authorities and Krystyna Oleksy.
His answer was: “None”.
