GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
In brief: our research must never be concerned with the possible
‘moral’ spin-off effects of our findings in relation to politicians or
regimes of the past, but solely with the facts. Anyone arguing differently
is unscientific and should not arrogate to pass judgment upon
others.”
My revisionist activities are actually not carried by the intention to
remove a stigma from a political system which I find unsympathetic due
to its disregard for human rights, but rather
a) because I believe that I am right.
b) Because I cannot accept the injustice done or about to be committed
in the name of the Holocaust ideology, just as I cannot accept other
injustices. Among these injustices are also the oppression and persecution
of dissidents in today’s Germany.
c) Because this research and publishing activity is exciting, interesting,
and satisfying.
d) Because it is the moral duty of each citizen to defend the rights to
freedom of speech and freedom of science exactly there where those
in power want to suppress it most intensively. My contribution to
this was so far to offer all those a podium with my publishing outlet
who had no other venue of publication at their disposal.
In brief: The question whether the research published by me changes
the moral assessment of the National Socialist system is utterly irrelevant,
because such an extra-scientific, political-moral motivation MUST
not have any influence on the course and final results of research! This
accusation therefore backfires on those who make it, because they are
the ones who try to foist non-scientific decision criteria upon science.
Yet this is impermissible, and more still, if this force comes from the
government, it is even unconstitutional!
In addition to this I may mention that I cannot have in interest in
rendering National Socialism socially acceptable not the least because
under such a regime I would express my opinion just as openly and I
would resist against the injustices committed by it, which is why I
would probably be one of the first to end up in one of its concentration
camps. Why should I therefore have an interest in exonerating such a
regime?
