GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
words, which I do not want to read out aloud here, but which I want to
leave for your exclusive perusal, as I do not wish to provoke anyone. 165
As these much more radical statements did not lead to any measures
of prosecution in Germany, my statements must not lead to a prosecution
either – provided there is equality before the law in this country.
Later on we will introduce excerpts from various books in which these
and other similar statements can be found. 166
III. Lectures on the Holocaust
In the indictment the prosecution requested to have my book Lectures
on the Holocaust seized and destroyed. In my view it is important
for the court to understand what that means, in case you decide here to
seize my book indeed. A while ago I gave you a photocopy containing a
newspaper article published in the Austrian weekly Zur Zeit. 167 This
article reports on how an academic anthology published in commemoration
of the German historian Prof. Dr. Hellmut Diwald was seized by
means of a court order, because it contains a contribution by Prof. Hepp
sporting a footnote in Latin in which Prof. Hepp declares to doubt the
veracity of the story about gas chambers for the extermination of Jews
in extermination camps of the Third Reich. This footnote in Latin was
allegedly inflammatory. It is a mystery to me, though, how a few sentences
in a footnote in the Latin language can incite anybody nowadays,
as hardly anybody understands that language. Fact is that the book was
seized for that very reason and that the confiscated copies were subsequently
destroyed in a waste incinerator under police supervision. Police
supervision was probably considered necessary to ensure that none
of the garbage men would read or maybe even sell the book instead of
burning it.
The contribution by Prof. Hepp which was considered offensive incidentally
is the same as the one I have quoted earlier regarding
Auschwitz as Germany’s Great Taboo. Hence, even the Federal Repub-

31 Jan. 1999); “scam,” (Norman Finkelstein, Beyond Chutzpah, Verso, New York
2008, p. 61).
