GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

der weapon and the crime did not exist until proven otherwise.<br />

Insofar my starting point was both absolutely legitimate and<br />

correct.<br />

3. Following the motto de omnibus dubitandum est – everything<br />

has to be doubted – the initial doubt about the existence of<br />

what is claimed precisely proves my scientific, that is critical<br />

attitude. If I want to maintain these doubts, then I have to undergird<br />

them with arguments, and that is exactly what I do in<br />

my expert report.<br />

4. The BPjM is not a government institute for the determination<br />

of what is correct, false, or faulty.<br />

5. Even in case my expert report should prove faulty, this still<br />

does not prove that it is unscientific.<br />

d) Conclusion: The authors of this indexing decision are obviously scientific<br />

illiterates.<br />

6. Auschwitz: Plain Facts<br />

I have edited this book 85 which is a collection of contributions critically<br />

discussing the book The Crematories of Auschwitz: The Technique<br />

of Mass Murder by the French pharmacist Jean Claude Pressac. 84 Since<br />

Pressac’s book had been praised internationally as a refutation of revisionist<br />

arguments, it is not only legitimate to subject the book to revisionist<br />

criticism, but if regarded under the aspect of the nature of science,<br />

this is even a must. The BPjM, however, never seems to have<br />

even heard anything about criticism being the essence of science, because<br />

as a cheap, sweeping argument in order to get rid of the arguments<br />

published in that book the BPjM states laconically: 190 “The main<br />

concern of the authors is actually […] to deny.” The following has to be<br />

said about this:<br />

a) The motivations of an author are irrelevant, as only his arguments<br />

count.<br />

b) The BPjM cannot possibly know an author’s motivations.<br />

c) Attempts at refutation are not only legitimate, but they are actually<br />

desirable and necessary in the scientific process in order to test theses<br />

as to their reliability.<br />

190 Decision no. 4898, 8 April 1999, BAnz 81, 30 April 1999.
