GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

2007 under no. 2, 1st paragraph.<br />

6. The motion filed on 12 Feb. 2007 by the defense lawyer Stolz to<br />

read the expert statements of the expert witness Prof. Dr. Jagschitz<br />

and his interrogation as an expert witness (annex 19) is rejected, because<br />

the requested gathering of evidence is irrelevant for the decision,<br />

because even if the probative allegations would be confirmed,<br />

the Chamber would not question the self-evidence of the Holocaust<br />

in the sense of no. 3 of the chamber’s ruling of 12 Feb. 2007.<br />

7. The motion filed on 12 Feb. 2007 by the defense lawyer Stolz to<br />

interrogate Prof. Dr. Nolte (annex 21) is rejected regarding no. 1 to<br />

4, because the Chamber has its own expertise concerning the assessment<br />

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

of 12 Feb. 2007 under no. 2, 1st paragraph.<br />

Comments<br />

The motion to summon Prof. Dr. Ernst Topitsch had to be withdrawn,<br />

because the witness had died on 26 January 2003.<br />

Point 2 of this ruling of rejection proves that the “self-evidence of<br />

the Holocaust,” which the federal German judiciary gives as a reason to<br />

reject or even prosecute motions to introduce evidence designed to undermine<br />

the self-evidence of the Holocaust, exists entirely independently<br />

of what established, even worldwide recognized experts on the history<br />

of the Third Reich consider to be accurate. Four established historians,<br />

three of them retired professors, express doubts, but that does not<br />

touch the court. Even if all the historians of the world expressed doubts,<br />

the court would probably still not be moved. This proves that the formula<br />

of self-evidence has developed an unconstitutional independent existence<br />

which can no longer be challenged with legal methods.<br />

When rejecting the motions to hear the witnesses Prof. Schlee and<br />

Prof. Hilberg, the Chamber committed a revealing blunder: requested<br />

had been regarding Prof. Schlee in addition and regarding Prof. Hilberg<br />

exclusively that they ought to determine whether the incriminated<br />

works serve research and science. This is not identical to the question<br />

whether the works itself are scientific in nature. Whether the works in<br />

question serve the historical sciences, however, cannot possibly be decided<br />

by a judge who is not an expert in this field. This requires the expertise<br />

of a specialist historian. This sweeping rejection by the court<br />
