ing our nation. Second, it is both irresponsible and ridiculous to
make the weal and woe of a nation dependent on a ‘detail of history.’
What is such a state to do when it turns out that the revisionists
really are right? Is it supposed to dissolve itself? Or is it supposed to
ban the study of history and to jail all historians? It is easy to see
how far from the straight and narrow such erroneous views lead:
someone who pretends to wish to protect this republic through the
ruthless defense of the standard Holocaust tales will, in the crunch,
find himself forced to undermine the actual pillars of this state,
which are freedom of expression, freedom of research, teaching and
science, and an independent justice system under the rule of law. He
thus becomes not the protector of a free and democratic fundamental
order, but its greatest threat. […]
The misconception about the foundations of the free and democratic
basic order of the Federal Republic of Germany also gives
rise to another danger for this order. This danger lies in the circumstance
that the advocates of this misconception also declare as enemies
of the state such people who wish no evil on this state or its citizens,
or who are even prepared to serve and benefit it. These people
are demonized merely for the reason that they hold different opinions
about certain aspects of contemporary history. Consequently,
imaginary enemies are created. By means of inciting against them,
loyal citizens of the state are practically forced into the role of enemy.
In other words, the process creates the very enemy it pretends to
fight. This self-generated enemy is then used to justify the escalating
restrictions on the fundamental rights guaranteed by the German
constitution, as described. With the increasing scientific success of
revisionism, this forcing of basically well-meaning citizens into an
unwanted enemy role must lead to social polarization which is anything
but beneficial to the internal peace of the Federal Republic of
Germany.
To protect the status and reputation of our state, therefore, it is
high time to strive for objective scientific dialogue, and to assign to
the Holocaust the role it deserves, namely as merely one stone in the
mosaic of history.”
