GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

“example of lack of seriousness.” However, the reference to secondary<br />

literature of source criticism actually proves the seriousness of<br />

Graf’s critique, because this corrects a flaw of Hilberg’s work. One<br />

cannot blame the revisionists for the fact that only revisionist<br />

sources publish source criticism deserving that name, rendering it<br />

impossible to quote works of established source criticism.<br />

The BPjM, by the way, uses the German term “Leugnung” in its decision,<br />

meaning denying against better knowledge, which implies<br />

that the author is a liar. This is a personal attack on the revisionist<br />

author proving a bias.<br />

The BPjM’s claim that “Graf declares as obsolete the major part of<br />

Hilberg’s investigations” is simply wrong. Graf does not declare the<br />

investigations as obsolete, but their critique, as these investigations<br />

are basically undisputed and moreover miss the topic of physical destruction.<br />

Just as incorrect is the BPjM’s allegation that Graf tries “to disqualify<br />

Hilberg’s insights by simply contesting them and making counterclaims.”<br />

Graf’s contesting is not simple, yet based on reasons and<br />

arguments. In contrast to this, Hilberg’s claims of a systematic destruction<br />

of Jews is based on simple, unproven claims – by alleged<br />

witnesses – which Hilberg completely fails to scrutinize.<br />

c) In summary one has to conclude that the authors of this indexing<br />

decision evidently do not have the faintest clue about the methods of<br />

historiography, about the body of source material, and about source<br />

criticism.<br />

is not even mentioned in the indictment, although two<br />

indexing decisions are included in the investigation files regarding the<br />

issues 1 and 2 of 1997. 188 Because two statements in these decisions<br />

shed a revealing light on the BPjM, I may address them here briefly<br />

anyway. Regarding issue no. 1/1997 of my journal, one of the reasons<br />

given for indexing it is my accusation leveled against the federal German<br />

government agencies that censorship exists in Germany, which<br />
