GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
There is an interesting parallel to this in revisionism, because in his
book Why people believe weird things the U.S. historian and adversary
of revisionism Michael Shermer had written in a contribution on revisionism
that Prof. Faurisson is a gadfly, since he is extremely annoying
with his uncomfortable questions and obtrusive demand for evidence. 276
Yes, for most people we revisionists are a thorn in their flesh. We
are pesky. We are a nuisance. We upset. We do not permit that society
remains undisturbed in its complacency and illusion of infallibility. And
this is a good thing.
As the last topic of my defense statements I may now make an interesting
comparison between the biographic data of a certain personality
of the intellectual history of mankind on the one hand, and my humble
self on the other.
This personality was born in ’64, as was I. He could not finish his
university studies, nor could I. This personality had three children,
namely two daughters and one son – exactly as I. He was a scientist and
an author, as I am. The main work of this scientist – or at least his most
famous work – had more than 500 pages, just as my book for which I
am here on trial. This famous scientific book of this personality is written
in dialogue style as a dispute between different views – exactly as
my book is written in dialogue style.
This is, by the way, the second example of a famous book in dialogue
style which made history and to which I had referred earlier. It
was banned by the authorities, confiscated and burned, which will also
happen to my book, if the prosecution’s will prevails. This famous book
was banned because it refuted one of the main dogmas of its era and
thus undermined the claim to infallibility of powerful groups, exactly as
my book refutes the main dogma of its era and consequently undermined
the claim to infallibility of today’s powerful groups.
This famous personality was put on trial for his book, just like I am
on trial for my book. Due to this book, this famous personality was
found guilty of denying the then prevailing dogma, just as the prosecution
is striving to do in my case. The personality of yore was punished
with loss of freedom, exactly as the prosecution will probably request in
my case.
Who could that personality be?
