GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
1. False Quote
On p. 6 of the indictment the quote beginning with “Since the end of
the war …” needs to read: “Germany has paid […] more than
100,000,000,000 deutschmarks,” which is to say: 100 billion, not one
billion deutschmarks.
2. Omission of Exonerating Passages
This quote is introduced by the following:
“Everyone who has been treated unjustly is entitled to reparations,
and every victim of crime deserves respect commensurate with
human dignity. Revisionism has no desire to deny suffered injustice,
to withhold respect, or to deprive restitution to anyone.”
The prosecution has omitted this decisive, exonerating passage, thus
a skewed impression is inevitable.
In the subsequent quote:
“But why are you as a tax payer and consumer paying billions
after billions of reparations? Why are you demanded to show atonement,
penitence, humility, and to make sacrifices? Are you really
wondering why taxes keep rising in Germany and why unemployment
is rampant? … You, dear reader, get to pay for the (alleged)
guilt of your parents, grandparents, great and great-great grandparents!”
A decisive passage has been replaced by omission ellipses and thus
withheld. It reads:
“Perhaps you remember the following, in its roots Christian
principle which is valid today in all states under the rule of law:
There must be no kin liability, and guilt is not heritable. – This is being
ignored today.”
Since the topics reparations and collective liability are rather explosive
in nature, I prefer to rely on a foreign scholar in this case in order
to give you an understanding of the issue. Prof. Dr. Gerard Radnitzky
grew up in the U.S. originally, yet he immigrated to Germany in order
to pursue his vocation as a university professor. In the magazine eigentümlich
frei (peculiarly free), which is published by radical libertarians,
which is to say by individuals who advocate a liberal interpretation
