- Today is a very special day - the day man landed on the
moon, the day the Berlin Wall came down, the day one of my sons were born.
There's more, but we'll reserve that for a later time, if you don't mind.
For now, take note:
-
- In Germany, on this very day, an organizational meeting
takes place, for the formation of "League for the Rehabilitation of
Persons Persecuted for Disputing the Holocaust" (Verein für
Rehabilitierung der wegen Bestreitens des Holocaust Verfolgten)
-
- Under the guidance of famed Attorney Horst Mahler, this
League is going to make tracks.
-
- What's better yet, I have been given the honor of being
its very first member, acting on Ernst's behalf. My signature has been
e-mailed, and the annual membership fee is on its way. I feel very honored
by this development, almost awed. We have entered a new era, and there
will be legal fights ahead that will rock the foundations of the orthodox
Holocaust claims with a magnitude we can only surmise.
-
- It means that, for once, we will be going on the legal
offensive and not constantly being forced to react.
-
- Here is a news story about the price Dr. Faurisson paid
for researching history.
-
- Following this news story is Dr. Robert Faurisson's take
on what the founding of the Revisionist 'Anti-Defamation League' Being
Formed means, prefaced with some bio information about himself and his
role in and contribution to Revisionist history:
-
-
-
- Dr. Robert Faurisson, severely beaten in 1989.
-
- "Someone who has provoked the Jewish community for
years should expect this sort of thing [a vicious, near-fatal beating],"
Serge Klarsfeld - Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld on the savage attack against
Professor Faurisson.

- Questioned Holocaust, Historian Badly Beaten

-
- CLERMONT-FERRAND, France
(Reuters) - A leading French revisionist historian who denies that millions
of Jews were killed in the Holocaust was recovering from surgery yesterday
after a savage beating.
-
- Robert Faurisson, 60, suffered a broken jaw and ribs
and severe head injuries in the attack by three youths while he was walking
his dog in the town of Vichy. A hospital spokesman in Clermont-Ferrand,
the central French city where he was transferred for surgery, said Mr.
Faurisson's condition was stable.
-
- "He was conscious, but he couldn't speak,"
said a fire fighter who gave Mr. Faurisson first aid. "His jaw was
smashed. They destroyed his face."
-
- A previously unknown group, The Sons of the Memory of
the Jews, took responsibility for the attack, saying those who deny the
Holocaust should "beware."
-
- Veteran Nazi-hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld said they
were not surprised by the attack. "Someone who has provoked the Jewish
community for years should expect this sort of thing [a vicious, near-fatal
beating]," Serge Klarsfeld said.

- Robert Faurisson 20 October 2003
- Letter to Horst Mahler
-
- Professor Robert Faurisson, born in 1929, lectured in
modern and contemporary French literature at the Sorbonne and the University
of Lyon, specialising at the latter in the "Analysis of texts and
documents (literature, history, media)".
-
- In the 1970s, he demonstrated the radical impossibility,
on physical and chemical grounds, of the existence and operation of the
alleged Nazi gas chambers. He was the first in the world to publish the
plans of the buildings at Auschwitz abusively presented still today as
having served for putting inmates to death by gassing.
-
- In 1988, thanks to an investigation commissioned by the
German-Canadian Ernst Zündel, the professor's findings were confirmed
by the American Fred Leuchter, designer of the gas chambers used in several
United States prisons and author of a report on the alleged gas chambers
of Auschwitz and Majdanek. In the early 1990s, the conclusions of the famous
"Leuchter Report" were, in turn, confirmed by the German chemist
Germar Rudolf, a graduate of the Max Planck Institute, as well as by the
Austrian chemists Walter Lüftl, president of the board of engineers
of Austria, and Wolfgang Fröhlich, a specialist in disinfection gas
chambers.
-
- As a consequence of their findings, Robert Faurisson,
Ernst Zündel, Fred Leuchter, Germar Rudolf, Walter Lüftl and
Wolfgang Fröhlich have all paid a substantial toll to the prevailing
judicial and extra-judicial repression. Like a number of other "revisionists"
they have, according to circumstances, had the experience of seeing their
careers ruined, of being physically assaulted and injured, convicted in
the law courts, fined, imprisoned, exiled. At present, Wolfgang Fröhlich
is in jail in Vienna and Ernst Zündel is being held in Toronto in
a high-security cell, in judicial and physical conditions worthy of "Guantanamo
Bay".
-
- Dear Herr Mahler,
-
- As soon as I learned of the existence of your "League
for the Rehabilitation of Persons Persecuted for Disputing the Holocaust"
(Verein für Rehabilitierung der wegen Bestreitens des Holocaust Verfolgten)
I applied for membership and sent you a financial contribution.
-
- Your initiative is ingenious, and I wish it every success.
I urge all revisionists to support this undertaking.
-
- You have invited me to your first meeting, which will
take place on November 9. The date is well chosen, for it marks the anniversary
of the fall of a tyranny that one might have thought would last forever.
The place, Vlotho on the Weser river, is equally well chosen, for it is
associated with the name of our friend Udo Walendy, who has fought so hard
and so long for the reestablishment of historical truth and, at the same
time, for the cause of his German fatherland.
-
- I would love to attend this meeting, but I think that
the German police might immediately arrest me there. Anyway, I have too
much work to do, and cannot go on vacation, even if it were to be spent
in a German prison.
-
- With regard to freedom of historical research, I have
no confidence in the French police or the French administration of justice.
I have even less confidence in the German police and administration of
justice. Frankly speaking, nowadays there is no country in the world that
offers a safe haven for revisionists. Even China, Japan and Russia serve
Mammon or else fear him, and so serve him. The United States of America,
in spite of its First Amendment, as well as Canada, have just recently
shown, in the cruel treatment of Ernst Zündel, to what depths of iniquity
they can descend to please Mammon. Ernst Zündel is a heroic figure
of the German nation, an exceptional man whom one cannot fail to admire
when one really knows him.
-
- In 1999, I published in French a four-volume work of
more than two thousand pages, consisting of some of my writings of 1974-1998.
It commences with an "In Memoriam" note in which I mention, among
the dead, Franz Scheidl, Helmut Diwald and Reinhold Elstner. With regard
to the last named, I recall that on April 15, 1995, he committed suicide
in Munich by burning himself to protest the "Niagara of lies"
against his people. The final words in that "In Memoriam" note
are these:
-
- "May [my book] also be read as a homage for the
true suffering of all victims of the 1939-1945 war, regardless of whether
the victims belonged to the camp of the victors, who are praised to the
skies, or to that of the defeated, whom have been humiliated and insulted
ceaselessly for nearly half a century."
-
- Remember that these words are from 1998. During the past
five years the situation has only worsened. The Niagara of lies has broadened
and strengthened. We do not have the right to fold our arms and quietly
contemplate the extent of the damage caused. We must act and react.
-
- That is what you are trying to do.
-
- Along with everyone else, I do not know how successful
this effort might be, but I want to join with you in it, regardless of
whatever differences of opinion or outlook there may be among those of
us who fight for a common cause.
-
- In December 1980, I summarized the result of my historical
research in one sentence of 60 French words. Before pronouncing that sentence
on Europe 1 radio, I gave this warning: "Caution! None of these words
has been inspired by political sympathy or antipathy." Here is the
sentence:
-
- "The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged
genocide of the Jews constitute one and the same historical lie, which
has made possible a gigantic financial-political swindle, the principal
beneficiaries of which are the State of Israel and international Zionism,
and whose principal victims are the German people - but not their leaders
- and the entire Palestinian people."
-
- In my view, that sentence, now 23 years old, requires
no changes.
-
- I have been accused of being anti-Jewish. In reality
I wish the Jews no harm. What I demand is the right to speak of the Jews
just as freely as I speak, for example, of the Germans. And I ask that
the Jews be deprived of the right to harm me, whether physically (between
1978 and 1993, I was attacked ten times by Jews), or by means of a special
law that they finally got enacted on July 13, 1990, and which in France
is known as the "Fabius-Gayssot Law", the "Faurisson Law",
or the "Anti-revisionist Law".
-
- It is outrageous that out of the billions of events that
constitute the history of mankind, one single event, called by Jews the
"Holocaust" or the "Shoah", must not be questioned
- on pain of imprisonment, fines, orders to pay damages and the costs of
publications of judgments, the exclusion from one's profession, and so
forth. This is an enormous special privilege, and we demand the abolition
of that privilege.
-
- This is a goal that is plain, clear and of narrow scope.
-
- Revisionism, in my view, is not, and must not be, a matter
of ideology, but instead one of method by which to attain the greatest
degree of exactitude.
-
- What I seek is historical exactitude and, thus, the abolition
of anything that obstructs the free striving towards that exactitude.
-
- My best wishes are with you.
