GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

be. 237 It is the small words which have a big effect, here Eylmann’s<br />

word “necessary,” because what is considered necessary will be decided<br />

by the Constitutional High Court – axiomatically to the detriment of<br />

revisionist defendants. This way the whole issue turns into a farce.<br />

How little leeway even Members of Parliament have to distance<br />

themselves from the prevailing views has been sufficiently demonstrated<br />

by the case of Martin Hohmann. In a private lecture he had rejected<br />

both the charge that the Jews are a people of perpetrators, just because<br />

they have been involved over-proportionately in the massacres of the<br />

Soviet revolutionaries. In the same way Hohmann had rejected the<br />

charge that the Germans are a people of perpetrators, just because Germans<br />

have been involved overproportionately in the persecution of Jews<br />

during World War II. Just to bring the term “people of perpetrators” in<br />

connection with the Jews – although it was a repudiating one – was<br />

enough to finish off Hohmann’s parliamentary career and to throw him<br />

out of his political party, the CDU. 238 Now imagine what would happen<br />

to a Member of Parliament, if he demanded publicly that we revisionists<br />

should be allowed to express our opinions freely. How long would he<br />

sit in the parliament?<br />

The only German parties signaling that they would oppose such laws<br />

contravening civil rights are the right-wing radical parties NPD and<br />

DVU. You can figure out for yourself what the chances are that any of<br />

their law initiatives will ever get the support of the parliament’s majority,<br />

since this censorship law has been created exactly with the aim at<br />

preventing such majorities.<br />

Apart from that I may raise doubts whether the NPD, provided it had<br />

the opportunity, would really reinstate freedom or if they would merely<br />

rescind the laws inexpedient to them and replace it with others permitting<br />

them in turn to prosecute groups inconvenient to them. At any rate,<br />

an article in the NPD’s party periodical in spring 2005 made me skeptical,<br />

which discussed the “Ideology of human rights” in a derogatory<br />

way.<br />

Hence parliament cannot be expected to provide any remedy.<br />
