F. Conclusion
GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
I have repeatedly emphasized here the publishing principles I have
as a publisher: None of my publications denies human rights to others,
advocates or justifies this. This does not preclude that I have published
items with whose contents I did not agree, as long as this overarching
principle was kept. In this way I have acted in the sense of Voltaire,
who wrote – and I quote from memory: 259
“I detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to
say it.”
I may demonstrate with an example that this sometimes applied to
my activities as well. In the mid 1990s a book by Johannes Peter Ney
was published with the title The Cursed Anti-Semitism, written under
the pseudonym Harold Cecil Robinson. 260 In those days I got into a dispute
with Herr Ney about this book, as the essence of its contents, its
language style as well as its entire tendency were repulsive to me. But
when the book was confiscated, 261 I nevertheless and deliberately posted
it as an electronic file on my website, whose objective it is to break
the backbone of German censorship. 262 I did this, because, even though
I disliked the book, it nonetheless was within the limits of my prime
principle. And I therefore decided that, although I detest Ney’s opinion,
I would nevertheless defend with my life or here in concrete terms with
my freedom his right to say it publicly.
Prof. Faurisson once said that he is like a bird whose nature it is to
sing. Even if he were locked up in a cage, he would still not stop singing.
And that is the way I am as well. It is part of my character, of my
personality, yes, it is even in my genes that I cannot keep my mouth
shut, that I have to express my opinion, in particular if I think I perceive
injustice. Nothing will silence me then. Just as a Negro cannot help being
black, I cannot help it that I have to speak my mind. To punish this
is as unfair as to punish a Negro for being black.
259 Although it seems to have been misattributed, see http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Voltaire, according
to which these words “were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym
of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire’s
beliefs on freedom of thought and expression.”
