Problems with the Holocaust

Is the 'Jewish Holocaust' a Hoax $$$$

Is the Holocaust a Hoax $$$

Within five minutes, any intelligent, open-minded person can be convinced that the Holocaust gassings of World War Il are a profitable hoax.

Fred A. Leuchter is America's leading specialist on the design and fabrication of execution equipment, including homicidal gas chambers. In 1988, Leuchter scraped samples from the alleged gas chamber walls in Auschwitz, Birkenau and Lublin. Cyanide residue would be clearly evident on all these walls if gassings did occur. To his astonishment, Leuchter found no significant cyanide traces in any one of these rooms.

In 1991 , the Polish government repeated these tests to disprove Leuchter's findings, but they as well found no evidence of any gassings ever occurring.

The structural integrity of these "gas chambers" is also extremely faulty. These rooms have ordinary doors and windows which are not hermetically sealed! There are large gaps between the floors and doors. If the Germans had attempted to gas anyone in these rooms, they would have died themselves, as the gas would have leaked and contaminated the entire area. Also, no equipment exists to exhaust the air-gas mixture from these buildings. Nothing was made to introduce or distribute the gas throughout the chambers. There are no provisions to prevent condensation of gas on the walls, floors or ceilings. No exhaust stacks have ever existed.

Though six million Jews supposedly died in the gas chambers, not one body has ever been autopsied and found to have died of gas poisoning. We have been shown piles of bodies from World War Il, but most of these persons died of typhus or starvation or Allied bombings and a great many of those were murdered Germans, not Jews. Roughly the equivalent of ten football fields should be packed full of gassed bodies to present as evidence, yet not one body has ever been discovered.

The Germans documented everything in meticulous detail from shrubbery to arbors, but no pre-war or wartime plans or documents exist that detail or even mention any gas chambers for reasons of genocide. All documents ever presented were drawn up AFTER the war.

Even if we threw away all the evidence and accounted for every so-called gas chamber, it would have taken 68 YEARS to accomplish gassing six million Jews!

Even The Diary of Anne Frank is a hoax. Portions of the diary were written with a bail point pen. These pens were not in use at the time Anne Frank lived.

It is not denied concentration camps existed. Tragically, many died of typhus or starvation, as often happens in such situations. There is, however, no evidence that any gassings occurred for the reasons of genocide.

Israel continues to receive trillions of dollars worldwide as retribution for Holocaust gassings. Our country has donated more money to Israel than to any other country in the history of the world—over $35 billion per year, everything included. If not for our extravagantly generous gifts to Israel, every family in America could afford a brand new Mercedes Benz. Surely the American people would be outraged if they realized their hard-earned money is being squandered in these difficult times.

With all this money at stake for Israel, it is easy to comprehend why this Holocaust hoax is so secretly guarded. The Jewish name for Holocaust is "Shoah." In Zionist circles, it is known as "Shoah Business." If nothing else, this unbelievable coverup demonstrates the irrepressible Zionist influence and control of our country. Their only defense against the facts is to cry out "antisemitic," "Skinhead" or "Nazi," whereas the majority of those who question the Holocaust are ordinary citizens...though you would never know it from the media.

In whatever way you can, please help shatter this profitable myth. It is time we stop sacrificing America's welfare for the sake of Israel and spend our hard-earned dollars on Americans. (For more information contact The Institute for Historical Review P.O. Box 2739

-here are compelling reasons to believe that the so-called holocaust never existed. Page 223, in The Diary of Anne Frank, (Pan

orizons edition, Pan Books Ltd., London, 1989), indicates that the size of Auschwitz, the most notorious of all German work camps, NAS VERY SMALL, with only 11 ,000 people (many of whom may not even have been Jews) being evacuated by the Germans at the ime of the Russian advance in 1945. Certainly, compared to Spielberg's film, Schindler's List (which Emilie Schindler, Oskar's widow, aid was full of lies), and other Jewish propaganda, that millions upon millions of Jews were systematically exterminated, 11 ,000 )eople is a very small number. Simple arithmetic tells us that the Germans would have had to have had hundreds of camps, or else hey would have had to exterminate 137 people PER HOUR, in order for six million Jews to have been exterminated at such small

:amps as Auschwitz, a feat that would have been humanly impossible considering that, according to Douglas Reed's Behind the Scen

The Controversy of Zion, a mere 850,000 soldiers and others were killed by the entire German and Japanese war machines

Dn July 13, 1994, a documentary on the life of Charles A. Lindbergh broadcast on the Public Broadcast System (PBS - KENW-TV) sai hat when Lindbergh visited one of these few camps in Germany following WIN2, he was told that 25,000 died in 1-1/2 years. Again, 5imple arithmetic tells us that 25,000 times a half dozen camps does not equal 6,000,000. In fact, it doesn't even equal 600,000.

t is an interesting fact that the number of so-called persecuted Jews KEEPS INCREASING. Hal Greenwald, program director for the -lillel Foundation at Duke University, a Jewish student group, has been promoting the idea that NINE MILLION JEWS WERE

rhe Holocaust Issue: Three Christian Views

)hristian Responsibility to Truth by Herman Otten

Nhile most Revisionists appear to be opposed to the construction of the [US government] Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, righ 1ext to some of our nations's most cherished monuments, I say: Let it be built! One day it will serve as a monument to the stupidity of nodern man, who can still accept a hoax as a fact. Hopefully it will then serve as a reminder to study all the facts and evidence, and epudiate all hoaxes.

rhe day is surely coming when all the evidence showing that the Germans never exterminated six million Jews can no longer be

;uppressed. Truth is not determined by majority vote. I learned this lesson in high school, and since then have repeatedly discovered

IOW the majority of scholars, even within our churches, can be in error. That our presidents, senators and congressmen are all

;upposed to be convinced that the Germans killed six million Jews, that almost all of our nation's professors and churchmen are said tl naintain that the Holocaust is a fact, doesn't make it a fact.

here is no dispute over the fact that large numbers of Jews were deported to concentration camps and ghettos, or that many Jews lied or were killed during World War ll. Revisionist scholars have presented evidence, which "exterminationists" have not been able to efute, showing that there was no German program to exterminate Europe's Jews, and that the estimate of six million Jewish wartime lead is an irresponsible exaggeration.

-he Holocaust—the alleged extermination of some six million Jews (most of them by gassing)—is a hoax and should be recognized as ,uch by Christians and all informed, honest and truthful men everywhere.

{ere are the reasons that have impressed me as particularly persuasive in coming to my own conclusion that the Revisionist view of he Holocaust story is the correct one:

There is no convincing or substantial evidence for the allegation of mass killings in gas chambers in the wartime German camps. )areful investigation—in particular that carried out by American engineer Fred Leuchter—has thoroughly discredited the "gas chamber xtermination claims.

The most reliable statistics available cannot be reconciled with the legendary "six million" figure. The best evidence indicates that no lore than a million, or perhaps a million and a half, European Jews perished from all causes during the war years.

Neither the major Jewish organizations in the United States, nor the wartime Allied governments, nor the International Red Cross, not le Vatican acted as if they seriously believed the wartime extermination propaganda.

t}pugh the German government kept extensive and detailed records of its wartime Jewish policy, not a single

confiscated by the Allies at the end of the war clearly show that the German "final solution" program was one of emigration and dep&tation, not extermination.

- Even prominent Jewish "exterminationist" historians now acknowledge that the stories of gassings and extermination in camps in

Germany proper are not true, in spite of the fact that such claims were once seriously made, particularly at the great Nuremberg Trial of

1945-1946.

- The Holocaust story now centers on just six former camps in Poland. The so-called "evidence" presented to prove mass exterminations in these camps is qualitatively no better than the now discredited "evidence" once cited for extermination in the camps in Germany proper.

- Much of the so-called "evidence" presented by "exterminationists" over the years has already been thoroughly discredited. For example, the well-known horrific photographs of piles of corpses taken in camps in western Germany at the end of the war are now acknowledged to be photos of victims of disease and malnutrition who perished as indirect victims of the war in the final weeks and months of the conflict. Also, so-called "confessions"—such as those of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss—have been shown to be untruthful and extracted by torture. Many of the official reports and testimonies presented as "evidence" by the prosecution in the

Nuremberg trials have since been shown to be lies.

- The fact that so many Jews "survived" German rule during the war—many of them even in so-called "extermination" centers such as Auschwitz-Birkenau—is enough to show that there was no German program or policy to exterminate the Jews of Europe.

The Holocaust is a hoax. The time has come for Christian scholars and pastors to recognize this, and to stop perpetrating a hoax as the truth. A Christian is not free to believe and promote a lie about any person or nation. True Christian scholars should at least read what the Revisionists write.

Many have said to us: "What difference does it make? The truth of the Holocaust is of no concern to Christians." Nonsense! A Christian is not free to believe and promote a lie about any person or nation. A Christian is guided by truth and facts, not emotions and majority opinion.

If Christians can accept as historical fact the Holocaust, despite all the powerful evidence that it is a hoax, what does that say about their ability to evaluate evidence? What about their scholarship? Is it any wonder that some Revisionists, who have made a careful study of the Holocaust, question the scholarship of Christians, so many of whom swallow as absolute truth what is clearly a hoax?

I have been told numerous times, even by theologians who claim to be orthodox: "l don't care whether it was six million or one Jew, even one is too many." Such an attitude shows contempt for the truth. A Christian is to show true love, and the Apostle Paul tells us that love is "happy with the truth." (1 Cor. 13:6) The writing of Proverbs tells us: "Speak out for those who can't speak, for the rights of those who are doomed. Talk up, render fair decisions, and defend the rights of the poor and needy people." (Proverbs 31 :9)

A Christian bases his faith upon facts and absolute truth, not feelings and emotion. A Christian recognizes that only God is all-knowing. A Christian is willing to listen to evidence and evaluate various viewpoints. He doesn't close his mind to the facts and evidence. He doesn't start out with the assumption that the Jew is right and the German is wrong, or that the Jew is wrong and the German is right. He looks at the evidence. Those who say they don't care if it was six million or one are showing a despicable attitude toward truth. They are saying: "We don't care about the truth." Such an attitude is sinful and worldly. Is it any wonder that so many then go on to act as it they don't care about another man's wife or property? The truthfulness of the Holocaust is a moral issue. Those who maintain that the Germans exterminated some six million Jews, most of them by gassing, are seeing to it that the Christian Church can no longer avoid speaking out. Churches are being pushed, as never before, to have special services commemorating the Holocaust.

A Christian is ready to change his opinion if the evidence shows he is wrong. Numerous times we have invited "exterminationists" to refute the Revisionists.

Some tell us that we have not shown love to the Jews, and that we are being racists and anti-Semitic when we publish articles by Revisionists questioning the Holocaust, and when we insist that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

We have repeatedly emphasized in many editorials that the Bible teaches that there is no special chosen race. All those—regardless of color, race, nationality, sex, wealth, et cetera—who trust in the merits of Jesus Christ alone for their salvation are God's chosen people and will go to heaven. Those who tell Jews, Muslims, and any other non-Christian that they worship the true God, and can get to heaven without Christ, are not showing true love to the Jews and other non-Christians.

Special Investigation is using the Holocaust as an excuse to force from the United States even such a reputable person as the scientist Arthür Rudolph.

Israel is using the "fad' of the Holocaust as an excuse to execute John Demjanjuk, an innocent Ukrainian-American. "The Jewish people have a long score to settle with the Ukrainian people" says Dov Ben-Meir, a deputy speaker of Israel's Knesset [parliament]. According to this top Israeli official, "unaccounted numbers" of Ukrainians "collaborated with the Nazi regime, especially in the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Jews."

The "fact" of the Holocaust is being used by some to deny that Christianity is the only true religion, or that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Israel is using the "fact" of the Holocaust as an excuse to kill Palestinians in Israel. This slaughter, together with the anti-scriptural notions of the Israel-first Millennialists, almost all of whom believe in the Holocaust, could lead to another bloody war

The Holocaust is not some innocent hoax, such as children's fairy tales that entertain and have no evil consequences.

The "chosen people" and "Holocaust" myths make mission work among non-Christians far more difficult. Arabs, who are told that the

Bible teaches that their land belongs to the Jews, find it more difficult to believe what the Bible says about Christ.

"Victims Deserve Better" by Joseph Sobran

I haven't been to the new United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, but even a Washington Post reporter was shocked by what he describes its "outrageous" anti-Christian propaganda. The exhibition apparently dates anti-Semitism from the birth of Christ. And of course the implication of the Museum is that mass murder is worse when its victims are Jews.

Some surprisingly critical notes have been struck in the reviews of the Museum. Kay Larson, art critic for New York magazine, objects that "the Germans depicted here are almost exclusively Nazis. . . Most American children who endure the walk-through will think of Germans as Nazi pigs."

She continues:

The Jews endured the most dementedly calculated and well-documented—but hardly the only—case. To separate the Nazi evil from other evils is understandable but Eurocentric. It trivializes all suffering but its own. . . It awards special, extra-human stature to the victims. Nothing that occurs inside Israel can be wrong, because Jews were gassed at Auschwitz. And so people set themselves apart from, against, and above others.

She has caught the note of most Holocaust rhetoric: intense self-absorption. This is a human reaction, and it can be excused up to a point. That point comes when those whose rights have been violated begin disregarding others' rights, as when Jewish apologists for Israel feel persecuted by criticism of Israel's brutality toward non-Jews.

Even many pro-Israel Jews feel uneasy about the Museum being in America, on government land, paid for with tax money. The implication of its presence is that all Gentiles, especially Christians, need to be instructed, to have their consciousness raised, even to be made to feel guilty about Jewish suffering. As if we didn't know that murder and persecution are wrong! As if Israel were a moral model for us!

In the same way, the implication of the word "anti-Semitism" is that the chief moral test for anyone is whether he has the correct attitude toward Jews. And again, this is understandable—but also very narrow. Murdering Ukrainians is every bit as evil as murdering Jews, after all. But why should we even have to say that?

The wrong lesson is being drawn. You would think that the evil of Hitler was mere anti-Semitism as such, rather than mass murder But if anti-Semitism were confined to country-club snobbery, even Jews wouldn't mind it too much. The real evil is the use of the state as an instrument of death. Government, perverted from it modest uses, can magnify every crime unimaginably.

That is the real "lesson of the Holocaust," the lesson our time still refuses to learn. We think it's only the Hitler or Stalin version of the superstate that is wrong. But think how America's conduct in World War Il would have appeared to our ancestors. It's hard for us to feel the sheer monstrosity of bombing cities.

I recently heard some interesting testimony on this point. During that war the US government commissioned a series of propaganda films from Frank Capra, which were made under the collective title "Why We Fight." One of them, "The Battle for China," describes the of26 30/04/2019, 10:00

for their

Japs was the unprecedented atrocity of bombing cities, killing civilians by the thousands!

Of course Capra and his staff didn't know that the US government was planning to do exactly that to Japanese and German cities. In their innocence, they assumed that only a savage, alien race could have stooped to such barbarism.

But we have supped full with horrors. Evil bores us. Its statistical extremes have long since lost their interest, and there is something ritually formulaic in the demands that we profess belief in, and abhorrence toward, Nazi and Communist abominations. "Holocaust denial" has become the big thought crime, denounced by Christians who are quite tolerant of those who deny the Redemption. No similar opprobrium, by the way, attaches to Gulag denial. After all, nobody who really believes a thing wants to force others to profess belief in it. Sincerity never demands hypocrisy.

Even the word "Holocaust" has come to seem a polemical appropriation of human suffering that verges on the indecent. I remember an old Jewish woman I slightly knew who had a number tattooed on her wrist. That told me all I needed to know about Hitler, and it would be pedantic to wonder whether a regime that was willing to brand Jews like cattle meant to kill them all. But it would have seemed morally crass to call what that woman had been through as a girl "the Holocaust": It's beginning to sound like a brand name, of special utility to glib hawkers. All the victims of World War Il, including Jews, deserve more respect than that. (Joseph Sobran is a nationallysyndicated columnist, lecturer and Critic-at-Large for National Review. This commentary is taken from his "Washington Watch" column in the May 13, 1993, issue of The Wanderer, a conservative Roman Catholic weekly).

"Examine All the Evidence" by Louis Vezelis

On April 22, 1993, an ugly, monstrous edifice was dedicated in Washington, DC. It is a grotesque museum dedicated to the victims of evil. The only problem is that the majority of people throughout the world have been conditioned like Pavlovian dogs to react irrationally to predetermined stimuli. Those who refuse are summarily isolated from the rest of the dehumanized human herd through use of meaningless but emotionally-charged epithets.

It is quite easy to observe which newspapers are subservient to this modern day hoax. The subject is the so-called "Holocaust Museum" built on public land "generously" donated by the US government..

Insulting terminology in an editorial appearing in the left-wing, pro-Zionist, anti-Christian Democrat and Chronicle [newspaper of Rochester, New York] introduces the reader to the most obvious abuse of logic and good taste. But, logic and good taste have systematically been expunged from the American mind during a period of more than thirty years.

Well-informed American citizens demonstrated [in Washington, DC, on April 22] against the historically false accusations constantly made against the German people and other nationalities whose only real crime was resisting the international gangsters who facetiously call their brand of exploitation "Communism."

The Democrat and Chronicle editorial starts out:

The mindless folks who were waving signs at the opening of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, last week claiming that the Holocaust never happened merely demonstrate why the museum is so important: to preserve the facts, before they disappear in the mists of history.

These "mindless folks" include none other than well-educated professors and professional historians, investigative reporters and, in general, are among the most descent people of a civilized society It is their right and duty to examine all the evidence, and draw the truthful conclusions concerning what really happened in history.

There is already a strong indication that those who promote the Holocaust story are afraid of the truth. That can only explain the need for ridiculing those who seek only to present the entire matter before an open world forum of unbiased and unprejudiced investigators. Because the preponderance of objective and factual evidence shows the promoters of the Holocaust story to be libelous frauds, sneak tactics and irrational emotionalism must be used.

We are concerned for the truth. Only those who are not of the truth must resort to lies and bloodshed. Facts by themselves do not constitute truth. Truth is in the judgment .

The Hollywood cosmetics exploiting the unfortunate victims of death do not prove anything. For example, to film or photograph dead bodies, and then label them according to one's political need is a travesty of justice and truth beyond the capability of morally responsible individuals. Facts must be correctly interpreted before they can tell something of truth.

Another example is the famous "Anne Frank Diary" which has been foisted upon the American people at all levels. We all wept at the Hollywood tear-jerker action on the silver screen. Decent people reacted as expected by the unscrupulous falsifiers of fact. It has come to the attention of more and more people that this diary is a fraud. Yes, it has been proven to be fake. Public school facilities are

overwhelm the world with hatred for a nation. . . No one says anything comparable about the children brutally murdered by the Soviets wheh they occupied the Baltic States in 1940, and Germany in 1945.

A French Professor whose love for truth is greater than his love for fame and life, Robert Faurisson, has proven that the alleged "diary" Of Anne Frank could not have been written by her

While the American people are being lulled into very dangerous apathy by being fed psycho-babble, a real holocaust, including child murder, is taking place every day in occupied Palestine.

Could it be that someone is trying to put a guilt complex on the American people so they will not dare raise a loud voice of protest against greater evils? (Louis Vezelis, O.F.M., is editor of The Seraph, a traditionalist Roman Catholic monthly published by the

Franciscan Friars (Order of St. Francis of Assisi) of Rochester, New York. This commentary is from an editorial by Bishop Vezelis in the May 1993 issue of The Seraph).

Children in Belsen

Children in Belsen 'Konzentrationslager' Camp, 1945 from BBC documentary "In the Camps" You Have a Right to Know the Truth!

David Irving: Intrepid Battler for Historical Truth by Mark Weber

Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev might have had David Irving in mind when he once warned that historians are dangerous because they have the power to upset everything. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once said that the main thing is not to write history, but to make it. Irving is a man who has been able to do some of both.

He is also living proof that the life of a historian need not be dull. The leftist British daily The Guardian once commented, "If one can overlook his outrageously odious views, Irving—like Hitler—can be a funny man. The humor comes from a hint of self-mockery and an obvious delight in making liberal flesh creep."

At the Eleventh IHR Conference in October 1992—as he had in his presentations at the IHR Conferences of 1983, 1989 and 1990— this good friend of the Institute for Historical Review not only shed new light on important chapters of twentieth-century history, he delighted attendees with humorous updates on some of the new ways he had found to make liberal flesh creep.

In the three decades since he published his first book, Irving has firmly established himself as not only one of the most successful and widely-read historians of our time, but also as one of the most courageous.

He has an enviable track record of uncovering startling new facts about even supposedly well-known episodes of history. His effectiveness is due in very large measure to his discovery of original source materials, such as diaries, original documents, and so forth, from both official and private sources. He is tenacious in his ceaseless digging in just about every important historical archive in the western world.

A professional historian, Irving has little respect for taxpayer-financed scholars who are guilty of what he calls "inter-historian incest," and who thereby help to keep alive dangerous myths and legends left over from wartime propaganda.

His first work, The Destruction of Dresden, was published in 1963 when he was 25 years old. Since then, he has published more than two dozen books, many of them best-sellers, including biographies of Hermann Goring, Winston Churchill, and Erwin Rommel. He is currently at work on a biography of Joseph Goebbels.

Several of Irving's books have appeared in various languages, and several have been serialized in prominent periodicals, including the Sunday Express, the Sunday Telegraph and Der Spiegel.

Over the years, he has also contributed articles to some 60 British and foreign periodicals, including the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Express in London, the Mainichi Shimbun in Tokyo, and Stern and Der Spiegel in Hamburg.

Irving's reputation first came under vicious attack following the publication in 1977 of Hitler's War, a monumental work that was hysterically criticized for its contention that Hitler did not order the extermination of Europe's Jews. The mass killings must have been carried out by Himmler and his cohorts behind Hitler's back, Irving concluded at that time.

As a journalist for Time magazine once told him, "Until Hitler's War you couldn't put a foot wrong, you were the darling of the media.

After it, they heaped slime on you."

As it turned out, the ADL's troubles with Irving were only just beginning.

The international campaign against him became even more vicious following the publication in 1981 of Uprising, a history of the 1956 anti-Communist revolt in Hungary. This book enraged the ADL crowd because it does not whitewash the significant Jewish role in the Hungarian Communist regime.

Irving has made several highly successful speaking and promotion tours in Germany, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the United States, and other countries. German listeners in particular delight in hearing an Englishman say out loud what many in that country believe in their souls but have been intimidated into keeping to themselves. In Germany, Irving has become a kind of conscience for a people who have been largely robbed of their own.

A startling climax in the second "Holocaust Trial" of Ernst Zundel in 1988 was the testimony of Irving, who was the last of 23 defense witnesses. He stunned the completely packed Toronto courtroom by announcing that he had changed his mind about the Holocaust story. During his three days on the stand, he explained in detail why he now endorses the Revisionist view of the extermination story.

In June 1989, Irving published the British edition of The Leuchter Report. This handsome, illustrated edition, for which he wrote a foreword, was launched by him at a press conference in London. He told the journalists there that the infamous extermination gas chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek did not exist, except, perhaps, as the brainchild' invention of Britain's wartime propaganda bureau, the Political Warfare Executive (PWE).

A magnificent 860-page Focal Point edition of Hitler's War was published last year. Taking account of his most recent research and insights, references to so-called "extermination camps" have been removed from this revised edition. And in his introduction, Irving deftly tears apart one historical legend after another.

This work—the product of decades of patient research and writing—has proven particularly enraging to the enemies of truth in history.

In addition to the usual lies, his adversaries have even turned to criminal burglary and arson in their fitful and frantic efforts to silence him.

Not long ago, an official of the American Jewish Committee, a certain Kenneth S. Stern, declared that Irving "NEVER has been considered a serious historian." (The Oregonian, Portland, Oct. 7, 1992).

That is simply a baldfaced lie.

In fact, Irving's remarkable abilities have been acknowledged by some of the most prominent names in the field. British historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, writing in the Sunday Times of London, once declared, "No praise can be too high for Irving's indefatigable scholarly industry." Trevor-Roper also called Irving one of the "few guides I would entirely trust . indefatigable in pursuit of the evidence, fearless in face of it, sound in judgment

Another prominent British historian, A. J. P. Taylor, once wrote of him: "David Irving is a patient researcher of unrivalled industry and success."

David John Cawdell Irving was born in Hutton, Essex, England, on March 24, 1938, the son of an illustrator and Royal Navy commander His father and mother were both well-known writers. After a liberal arts education at the four-century-old Sir Anthony Browne's school in Brentwood, Essex, young Irving won a scholarship to study physics at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London.

It did not take long, though, for him to realize that his life's calling would not be in the hard sciences.

In 1959 he moved to Germany's industrial Ruhr region to spend a year working in a steel mill to perfect his fluency in German. Then, after a stint working as a clerk-stenographer with the US Strategic Air Command at an airbase near Madrid, he returned to England to study political economy at London's University College.

Irving speaks fluent German, very good Spanish, and quite passable French, and reads several other languages.

On a personal note, he is the father of four daughters. His hobbies are oil painting, travel, and cinematography, and his favorite song is the English naval hymn, "For Those in Peril of the Sea."

He lives in the Mayfair district of London's West End, although in recent years has spent quite a lot of time at a south Florida retreat, where he now prefers to do his serious writing.

You'd need a pickup truck to carry away all the newspaper and magazine clippings that have appeared over the years about Irving.

In January 1992, for example, a flurry of reports appeared in newspapers and television broadcasts around the world suggesting that abandoned his highly skeptical view of the Holocaust extermination story because of what he had found in the

Had Irving defected from the Revisionist camp? In the wake of this uproar, he told the IHR: "My position remains unchanged." There were "certain My-Lai-type atrocities" by German troops in the occupied Soviet territories, but the "gas chambers and factories of death are legend," and there is no wartime evidence of an order by Hitler to exterminate the Jews. In an interview at the time with the London Jewish Chronicle (January 17, 1992), Irving said, "The Jews are very foolish not to abandon the gas chamber theory while they still have time."

Last May, a German court fined Irving 10,000 marks—about $6,000—for public statements he had made challenging the Holocaust story. His crime? At a meeting in Munich in 1990, Irving had said that the building in the Auschwitz main camp that has been portrayed for years as an extermination gas chamber is a phony reconstruction (or, in German, "Attrappen").

The Munich district court refused to permit the defense to present even a single witness or exhibit. For example, it would not permit Irving's attorneys to call as a witness the director of the Auschwitz State Museum, Franciszek Piper, who has privately confirmed on several occasions that what Irving had told the meeting in 1990 is, in fact, the truth. After his attorneys dramatically walked out of the courtroom to protest the judge's outrageous rulings, Irving delivered a stirring plea for truth and justice that has since been widely circulated in Germany on audio cassette and as a leaflet. (For more on this trial, see the July-August 1992 IHR Newsletter).

Also last year, Irving played the key and highly publicized role in bringing to light the long-suppressed diaries of Third Reich propaganda chief Dr Joseph Goebbels. Last July, the London Sunday Times, one of the world's most influential papers, published extensive translated excerpts from the diary, which Irving found and transcribed. (See report in the October 1992 IHR Newsletter).

International and British Jewish organizations lost no time in attacking the paper for employing Irving, and the resulting furor made headlines in newspapers and magazines around the world. A report in the London Jewish Chronicle headlined "Sunday Times comes under pressure" (July 17, 1992), described the extent of the campaign to punish the paper for its collaboration with Irving. Officials of the American Jewish Committee added their voices to the worldwide pressure campaign, expressing particular anger because the historian has addressed several IHR conferences. The Sunday Times capitulated, and in breach of contract, refused to pay Irving the agreed-upon fee of 83,000 pounds. He is suing.

On July 3, more than 300 Jewish demonstrators gathered outside Irving's London residence to denounce him. The next day, July fourth (by the way, the ninth anniversary of the devastating 1984 arson attack against the IHR office-warehouse), a larger crowd of several hundred met at the same place to shout more insults. Among the banners carried by the crowd of Marxists, Jews, homosexuals and Rastafarians were placards reading "Return to the Road of Lenin and Trotsky! " and "Build a Bolshevik Party, Tribune of All the Oppressed!"

That same day, though, about 250 persons defied intimidation and threats to hear and cheer Irving and other speakers at a Revisionist seminar in London. Besides Irving, the audience heard addresses by Kirk Lyons, Leuchter's US attorney, and Georgia attorney Sam Dickson (who addressed the 1986 IHR conference).

In all this, it is gratifying to note that it is a Revisionist historian who was—once again—at the forefront of historical discovery. In spite of the well-organized international campaign to boycott and silence him, David Irving remains at the vanguard of his profession—and, by the way, SOLELY on the basis of his indisputable knowledge, skill and industry.

It is also gratifying to realize that, as a result of each of those recent controversies, hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of newspaper and magazine readers around the world are now aware that a historian of recognized international stature rejects critical aspects of the orthodox Holocaust extermination story.

The Antil-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith: Trapped in a Nazi Fantasyland by Bradley R. Smith

Marvin Stern, director for the Northwest regional branch of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), can't conceal his bewilderment over what he calls "the growing Holocaust revisionist movement."

Mr. Stern expressed his dismay in a column published in The Oregonian, the largest-circulation daily in the Northwest. His alarm was triggered by the appearance in that newspaper of our ad, "A Revisionist's View of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum."

He lays the blame for the growing influence of revisionism on the "ignorance" and "anti-semitism" of Americans. He appears not to understand that he's charging tens of millions of American citizens with being ignorant, anti-Jewish bigots (a recent Roper poll reported 20 to 30 percent of adult Americans doubt they are being told the truth about the Holocaust story).

Spokesmen for the ADL have propagandized themselves into an empty intellectual corner. Having refused to judge revisionist research its merits, refusing still to admit that revisionists have any substantive arguments whatever, refusing debate or even an exchange of the ADL'ers are left with no intellectual tools to work with but invective, misrepresentation, slander, and a sickly dependence on

'laying their "nazi" card.

Dne result of this intellectually and psychologically stunted behavior is that many ADL-ers appear to be obsessed with nazis and lazism, neo-nazis, intimations of nazism, rumors about nazis and crazy nazi conspiracies to rehabilitate Adolf's reputation.

Some ADL'ers, Stern appearing to be one of them, live in an imaginary nazi wonderland where they fantasize armies of nazis marching oward them from distant horizons, singing songs of conquest, whips in hand, about to leap through the ADL office window to lash the lapless drudges inside and mistreat them sexually. Such fantasies must be traumatizing for those who suffer them, but to others they zn appear comic and infantile.

rhe text of my ad, which prompted Stern's response, makes at least two claims which admittedly are controversial. It asserts that the Holocaust Museum exhibits no proof that homicidal gas chambers existed anywhere in Europe, and no proof that even one child, voman or man was "gassed" at any German camp liberated by the Allies. I flew to Washington, toured the Museum, and that's my issessment of its exhibits.

hr. Stern writes that the best response to the "outrageous lies" of revisionism, that is, the text of my ad about the Museum, is to reiterate the truth" and "repeat the facts." It's good advice, but Stern avoids it like the plague. Instead, he reveals the common ADL elf-serving obsession with hate movements growing like cancers in American society. He doesn't even try to assure his readers that he Museum does, in fact, exhibit proof of one gas chamber or one victim of a gas chamber Why?

•he Marvin Sterns and the ADL face a conundrum. They can continue to rail with empty irrationalism against legitimate revisionist esearch and watch the number of Americans who are increasingly unsure what to believe about the Holocaust story increase year fter year.

they can turn to the orthodox scholars in the field for help in responding to revisionist questions. That would be the adult thing to do.

he ADL'ers however, true to form, have chosen to do the childish thing—to substitute schoolyard insults for a grown-up exchange of leas.

tern's article in The Oregonian ran under the head, "Holocaust Revisionists Should Be Challenged, Repudiated With Truth." Marvin nd I are in complete agreement on this one. Do it! Challenge the claims in my ad with truth! That has always been what I've asked for. 's my invitation to the ADL'ers and my challenge to them—and to all others. Respond to my ads with truth. I don't EVER want to run n ad that contains an inadvertent error of fact.

(hy do the Marvin Sterns talk about repudiating revisionism with "truth" and always evade doing so? Here's my guess. While

Nisionists almost certainly are not right about everything, we're not wrong about everything either. No one is wrong about everything!

hat's what terrifies Marvin Stern and his ADL buddies. The day they admit the possibility that revisionists are not wrong about ærything, their psychological world will collapse. They'll have admitted that revisionists are human beings, that we eat our soup with a )oon just like they do.

Were's the rub. The ADL-ers can't afford to admit that revisionists are ordinary men and women—that is, human

brokendown and exhausted the old nag is.

Marvin Stern is probably a nice guy. He's probably a smart guy. When a smart guy goes over the line and becomes a true believer it's almost impossible for him to change his mind. When a true believer changes his mind he becomes an apostate. He feels like a traitor. A dumb guy can just change his mind and go about his business. A smart guy who's become a true believer has to work out a theory explaining how, being so smart, he could have believed something so dumb so long. It's not easy. I know.

Marvin, I used to believe everything about the Holocaust story you believe now. It's not a sin to be wrong. It's human. You have a theom you believe is true, I have a theory I think is true. Let's talk things oven You know how it goes. I listen to you. You listen to me. We have a beer. We settle the world's problems. (Bradley R. Smith is director of Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust.)

Holocaust Revisionists should be Challenged, Repudiated with Truth by Marvin Stern

The changes in the world over the last five years have been breath-taking. If anyone sought to deny the facts of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the crumbling of South African apartheid, the anti-Iraq coalition in the Persian Gulf War, the historic handshake on the White

House lawn, he would be met with ridicule or ignored as a fool.

How then to explain the growing Holocaust revisionism movement, spearheaded by the California-based Institute for Historical Review —founded by longtime anti-Semite Willis Carto of the Liberty Lobby to deny history's most fully documented atrocity?

There are two answers: the danger of ignorance and the power of anti-Semitism.

Consider how Holocaust denial reflects traditional anti-Semitic themes. Typically, anti-Semites charge Jews with too much power, with conspiratorial control of events and institutions. The best-known illustration of this is "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," the notorious turn-of-the-century forgery.

Distributors of Holocaust-denial literature spread this hoax as well. Deniers describe the Holocaust as a myth concocted by Jews to extract sympathy, money, and moral carte blanche; they portray the Holocaust and the Nuremberg Trials as conspiracies to promote Jewish power and influence.

When Holocaust revisionists dispute the facts of the Nazi genocide, they are attacking what they assert is the Jewish stranglehold on academia, the media and international politics.

Another motive behind far-right efforts to deny the Holocaust is the rehabilitation of the reputation of Nazism and its leaders. A third goal is to undermine the legitimacy of the state of Israel. Indeed, revisionists have often referred to the Holocaust as Zionist propaganda.

How to respond to such outrageous lies? First, reiterate the truth. Repeat the facts—they are clear, hideous and plentiful—as often as necessary. Education is crucial. The following noteworthy development at a major campus is instructive:

When the campus newspaper at Duke University published a large advertisement by Holocaust deniers, the university's History Department published a unanimous rebuttal, criticizing the paper for treating such garbage as legitimate analysis.

"As historians," they wrote, "we deplore this effort to use the language of scholarship to distort and obliterate an event which to our everlasting shame did occur. We urge all members of the (campus) community to treat such advertisements with the contempt they deserve.

In addition, we must demand the same sense of moral courage and principle from other intellectual and political leaders in the face of this hate movement masquerading as scholarship. Otherwise it will continue to grow like an untreated cancer.

Clearly, today's extremists are more subtle, deceptive and technologically sophisticated. The Institute for Historical Review publishes a journal and holds conventions to mimic the formalities of legitimate learning. Resourceful racists, anti-Semites and xenophobic haters around the world are using sanitized and computerized campaigns to exploit controversial social issues, to gain access to national debates, and to influence an all-too-often uninformed public.

In response to this propaganda, measures to preserve the memory of Adolf Hitler's victims have taken on a new importance. The AntiDefamation League's work in this regard includes the activities of the Braun Center for Holocaust Studies, the Jewish Foundation for Christian Rescuers and the Hidden Child Foundation, our yearly Holocaust symposium for high school students and teachers held in conjunction with the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center at Portland State University, as well as curriculum materials used in hundreds of school systems.

But a largely uninformed new generation presents Holocaust revisionists with an opportunity to exploit. An increasing distance this generation from the events of World War ll. As the survivors pass from the scene, and as hollow

We Know that an awareness of the past is crucial to understanding its consequences in the present, and avoiding its tragedies in the future. Understanding and communicating the uniqueness of the doctrines and methods through which the Nazis implemented their destructive agenda are crucial steps toward ensuring that such horror never recurs.

The task of the decent majority is to safe-guard historical memory, and to educate our neighbors and future generations against lies, hatred and the blandishments of evil.

A Revisionist's View of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museumin Washington, D.C. by Bradley R. Smith

After ten years in the planning, $165 million in start-up costs and a government guarantee of tens of millions more in tax subsidies, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum demonstrates why, according to a Roper Organization poll, 22 percent (some 25 millions!) of all adult Americans have doubts about the orthodox Holocaust story.

What are the facts?

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum displays no proof anywhere of homicidal "gassing" chambers and no proof that even ONE INDIVIDUAL was "gassed" at any camp liberated by Allied armies.

"Proof' for a gas chamber at Birkenau is a plastic model created by a Polish ARTISTE. A plastic copy of a metal door is displayed as "proof' of a homicidal gas chamber at Maidanek. And, INCREDIBLY, the Museum has simply "dropped" the Auschwitz gas chamber, the basement room visited yearly by hundreds of thousands of tourists in Poland.

There is no mention of the alleged gas chambers at Buchenwald or even at Dachau, where after World War Two American G.l.s and German civilians were assured that more than 200,000 victims were "gassed and burned."

Human soap? Human skin lamp shades? Not a sign of them in this Museum. These monstrous lies are now all gone—straight down the memory hole!

The notion that eyewitness testimony given under highly politicized and emotional circumstances, which this museum relies so heavily on, is, PRIMA FACIE, true, was refuted by the Israeli Supreme Court when it acquitted John Demjanjuk of being "Ivan the Terrible." The Israeli Court found that the eyewitnesses who testified against Demjanjuk could not be believed!

Deborah Lipstadt argues in her much-praised Denying the Holocaust, that revisionists ["deniers"] should not be debated because there "can not be" another side to the Holocaust story. She charges that it is "hateful" to listen to a defense of those accused of mass murder! In essence, she argues that we bury America's old civil virtues of free inquiry and open debate—but to what end?

The Deborah Lipstadts—and there is a clique of them on every campus—work to suppress revisionist research and demand that students and faculty ape their fascist behavior. If you refuse to accept the Lipstadt clique as your intellectual FUHRERS, you risk being slandered as an "anti-semite." These quasi religious Holocaust zealots claim that because of the "purity" of their own feelings about the Jewish experience during World War Two, yours are soiled if you doubt what they preach as "truth."

Winston Churchill, in his massive six-volume history of World War Two, and Dwight D. Eisenhower in his memoirs, both omitted all reference to "gas chambers" and their use in an alleged "genocide" of the Jews. How do the Museum and the Deborah Lipstadts explain that?

To many it will appear impossible that deception on such a grand scale can actually be taking place. Yet such deception is not unusual in the realms of politics, ideology or religion. We are being deceived for one reason, and one reason only—we have refused to listen to the other side of the story.

The Operation and Technique of the Museum

The Museum's exhibit technique is a mixture of sinister suggestion and dishonest omission. The first display confronting visitors beginning the Museum tour is a wall-sized photograph of American soldiers looking at corpses smoldering on a pyre. The "context" in which you see the photo suggests that the dead are "exterminated" Jews.

But were the prisoners killed or did they die of typhus or some other disease during the last terrible weeks of the war? Autopsies made by Allied medical personnel found that inmates died of disease. Not one was found to have been "gassed." ALL SUCH RELEVANT INFORMATION IS PURPOSELY OMITTED FROM THE EXHIBIT. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE DEAD PICTURED IN THE PHOTO ARE JEWS!

Unable to judge the significance of the photograph, and not wanting to believe the Museum would mislead you, you are moved to
