GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
factually seen, not the most suitable symbol for the much more comprehensive
events of the National Socialist attempts of a “final solution of
the Jewish question” in Europe. Instead of “Holocaust” or “Auschwitz”
I therefore use here the term “final solution” as an acronym. All of the
so-called Holocaust deniers are radical revisionists with regard to the
“prevailing opinion” of the established or “orthodox” historians, who
consider the million-fold mass killings with poison gas in Auschwitz,
Treblinka and other extermination camps as a self-evident and hence
indisputable fact. I speak {p. 2} abbreviatingly of “revisionists” on the
one hand and of “established” or “orthodox” on the other.
I have expressed myself frequently about this topic during the past
three decades, although always by way of interpretation, since I have
never been an “expert” on questions about the final solution, but merely
had and have a passable knowledge of the literature. Such statements
are simply inevitable when writing a book with the title Der Faschismus
in seiner Epoche (1963) [Fascism in its epoch; Engl. title: Three faces
of fascism, 1965]. In hindsight I have to say that from today’s point of
view my knowledge was small and was mainly restricted to the volumes
of the documentation about the Nuremberg trial against the main war
criminals and in addition to the notes by Rudolf Höss and Kurt Gerstein
as well as to the books by Reitlinger and Hilberg. I did not encounter
any doubts which had to be taken seriously, but this attitude, which may
be called “uncritical,” was not different to that of the defense lawyers
during the Auschwitz trial. Hence there was no discernible cause that I
as a historian of ideologies, which I am, could not reach to conclusions
like the one that Auschwitz is as certainly intrinsic to the principles of
National Socialist race teachings as is the fruit intrinsic to the seed. 2
About the specific events I did not say much more than the following:
“And since early 1942 the extermination is being planned on a big
scale, but at once compartmentalized and industrialized. The alleged
Jewish commissars in Moscow and the alleged Jewish bankers in New
York, which are waging the war, are unreachable; hence their alleged
biological basis has to be stricken, and in infinite {p. 3} columns of
trains the impoverished Jewish proletariat is rolling, and the remainders
of European Jewry is rolling into the gigantic workshops of fast and
hygienic annihilation.” But my thorough analysis of Hitler’s “world
view” boils down to the fact that this process, kept as such a secret, the
final solution with a meaning no longer merely “territorial,” nevertheless
corresponded to the central intention of National Socialism, 3 and I
