GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

there can be no talk of an “undisputedness” of Holocaust historiography.<br />

[…]<br />

Sylvia Stolz, defense lawyer<br />

Rejection<br />

Ruling of the 2nd Superior Penal Chamber of the Mannheim District<br />

Court<br />

1. The defendant’s motion for information (annex 11 to the protocol of<br />

the main proceedings of 12 Feb. 2007) is rejected, because the Court<br />

has no obligation to give information beyond the statement already<br />

made under no. 2 of the ruling of 12 Feb. 2007.<br />

2. The motions filed by the defendant on 12 Feb. 2007 to interrogate<br />

Prof. Dr. Maser (annex 12), Dr. Post (annex 13), Prof. Dr. Seidler<br />

(annex 15) and the motions filed by the defense lawyer Stolz to interrogate<br />

an experts for contemporary history (annex 20) and Prof.<br />

Dr. Nolte regarding the motion entries 5 to 14 (annex 21) are rejected,<br />

because the gathering of this evidence is irrelevant for the<br />

[Court’s] decision, because even if the named persons would confirm<br />

the probative allegations, the Chamber would not question the<br />

self-evidence of the Holocaust in the sense of no. 3 of the chamber’s<br />

ruling of 12 Feb. 2007.<br />

3. The defendant’s motion filed on 12 Feb. 2007 to introduce the expert<br />

report by Dr. Hoffmann (annex 16) is rejected, because the gathering<br />

of this evidence is irrelevant for the decision, as the mentioned book<br />

is not part of the indictment.<br />

4. The defendant’s motion filed on 12 Feb. 2007 to interrogate Prof.<br />

Dr. Schlee (annex 17) is rejected, because, as far as the indicted<br />

writings are concerned, the Chamber has its own expertise concerning<br />

the assessment of scientific standards – as was already laid out in<br />

the ruling of 12 Feb. 2007 under no. 2, 1st paragraph. As for the rest,<br />

the claim is irrelevant for the decision, because the mentioned writings<br />

are not part of the indictment.<br />

5. The defendant’s motion filed on 12 Feb. 2007 to interrogate Prof.<br />

Dr. Hilberg (annex 18) is rejected. Regarding no. 1 to 3 of the motion,<br />

the gathering of this evidence is irrelevant, because his assessment<br />

and his position play no role regarding the question of a potentially<br />

illegal activity of the defendant. Regarding no. 4 of the motion,<br />

the Chamber has its own expertise concerning the assessment of sci-<br />
