- On Saturday, June 21, chemical engineer (Dipl. Ing.)
Wolfgang Fröhlich, 51, was arrested in Vienna, Austria, and taken
to prison. His trial could last two days, as the public prosecutor wishes,
or as long as two or three weeks, as his attorney, Dr. Herbert Schaller,
hopes.
-
- For seven years, Fröhlich had sent to jurists, members
of parliament, politicians and journalists, thousands of copies of his
writings, in which he says that the alleged wartime Nazi extermination
gas chambers are, as he put it, a lie. Remarkably, he suffered no real
legal consequences. Then, following the publication in 2001 of his 368-page
file, Die Gaskammer Lüge ("The Gas Chamber Lie"), the authorities
decided to arrest him. But he went into hiding, and the police apparently
made no serious effort to find him.
-
- Fröhlich's arrest on June 21 may, perhaps, be connected
with a statement in Vienna two days earlier by Rudolph Giuliani. On June
19 the former mayor of New York, speaking as a US government representative,
told participants at a two-day Conference on Anti-Semitism, organized in
Vienna by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE),
that Revisionism should be stopped.
-
- In an article published a day earlier in The New York
Times, "How Europe Can Stop the Hate," he said, referring to
officials of the European states: "Making sure their citizens have
an honest understanding of the Holocaust is vital, as revisionist viewpoints
put us at risk of a repetition of race-based genocide." On June 16
and 17, President George W. Bush criticized "revisionist history"
and "revisionist historians" for expressing doubts about the
official version of the US war against Iraq.
-
- In a way, Ernst Zündel and Wolfgang Fröhlich
may be the first revisionist victims of Bush and Giuliani.
-
- In January 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, manipulated
by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., his Treasury Secretary, created the War Refugee
Board (WRB), which fabricated its infamous report on the "German extermination
camps - Auschwitz and Birkenau." In September 2001, President George
W. Bush, manipulated by Paul Wolfowitz, his Deputy Defense Secretary, created
the Office of Special Plans (OSP), which fabricated untrue reports about
Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The OSP is headed by Abram Shulsky.
The OSP individuals who are responsible for the WMD reports call themselves
"the Cabal" (from "cabala"). (This has been acknowledged
by Seymour M. Hersh in The New Yorker, May 12, 2003, and by Jacques Isnard
in Le Monde, June 7, 2003, p. 7.)
-
- Similar lies. Similar liars. Similar beneficiaries. Similar
victims.
-
- Therefore, it seems, a similar Revisionism is needed.
-
- Note: On June 17, the French daily Le Monde published
an ironic front-page article entitled (in French): "Saddam was evil,
therefore he had prohibited weapons." To Le Monde I sent a one-sentence
letter, meant for publication: "Hitler was evil, therefore he had
gas chambers and gas vans." My brief letter was not published. _____
-
- Professor F. Littell has said "You can't discuss
the truth of the holocaust. That is a distortion of the concept of free
speech. The United States should emulate West Germany, which outlaws such
exercises."--Mind-boggling! Don't you think? http://64.143.9.197/jhr/v11/v11p365_Bennett.html
