IV. Additional Judicial Observations
In no. 5 of volume 52 (May 2002) of the German journal Osteuropa
an article entitled “The Number of Victims of Auschwitz. New Insights
Based on Archival Discoveries” 177 was published which was authored
by the Managing Editor Fritjof Meyer of the German news magazine
Der Spiegel (pp. 631–641). In it Meyer stated that the total victim number
of the Auschwitz camp claimed at war’s end was “a product of war
propaganda,” but even the number of 1.5 million spread by the Auschwitz
Museum today is too high by a factor of three. Meyer considers
eyewitness testimonies regarding mass gassing partly implausible, and
he claims against the official “truth” which is considered “self-evident”
that, of the six homicidal gas chamber buildings which allegedly existed
in Auschwitz-Birkenau, only two had actually served as sites of mass
executions.
Although criminal complaints were filed and thus police investigations
initiated against Meyer and the editors of this magazine for “Holocaust
denial,” these investigations were eventually shelved. 178 The Public
Prosecution of Bochum determined in its ruling to stop the proceedings
“that, on the background of the social adequacy clause of article
86, Paragraph III, German Penal Code, as invoked by article 130, paragraph
V, German Penal Code, a scientific debate about causes, scope,
and consequences of the National Socialist genocide committed against
the Jewish people must remain permissible,” a fact which also applies
to my book Lectures on the Holocaust, whose scientific depth and
scope is much larger than the superficial and methodically questionable
work by Herr Meyer, which for instance lacks any systematic source
criticism. 179 Meyer’s mere claim that certain statements are implausible,
