GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

The article quoted by the Chamber regarding a decision by the German<br />

Federal Constitutional High Court does not contain any principles<br />

to evaluate the science nature of a work. 288<br />

Further Motions of 12 February 2007<br />

Annex 11<br />

In the matter of <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> I request that the Court may tell the<br />

defense, how it defines science and which criteria it uses to assess the<br />

scientific nature of a writing, as defined by the law, as well as on which<br />

source it relies for this know-how, as it its contested that the Court itself<br />

has the expert competence to answer this question in a legally binding<br />

way.<br />

Annex 12<br />

In the matter of <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> I request to hear the witness Prof.<br />

Dr. Werner Maser, expert for contemporary history with special knowledge<br />

about the history of the Third Reich, to be summoned via his private<br />

address, as evidence for the following allegations:<br />

1. In a longer telephone call with <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> the witness stated that<br />

the restrictions of freedom of opinion and freedom of science in the<br />

Federal Republic of Germany have almost reached the conditions of<br />

the former GDR [German Democratic Republic, former communist<br />

East Germany] and that, as a historian in Germany, one can no longer<br />

tell the unvarnished truth, if one doesn’t want to expose oneself to<br />

societal persecution and legal prosecution. (Summer 2005)<br />

2. The witness will confirm that it is the permanent threat of historians<br />

with societal persecution and legal prosecution which keeps them<br />

from taking revisionist publications seriously in public or to even assume<br />

revisionist positions, but not subject-specific reservations.<br />

3. The witness will confirm that the unanimity of established historians<br />

on many issues of the Third Reich exists only, because dissidents are<br />

being persecuted and prosecuted or are threatened with it.<br />

288 The passage of the verdict dealing with the term “science” has been replaced with omission<br />

ellipses in the quoted article, hence the court’s reference to it is vacuous.<br />
