Germar Rudolf, Resistance Is Obligatory (2012; PDF-Datei

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
the blatant contradictions, but nevertheless an approach which should
not be spared in future presentations. Like in Neumaier’s essay one
finds questionable, although not prohibitable references to the tradition
of the Old Testament (Psalm 137/9), which raises the suspicion that for
the author this is not just about Babi Yar. But as a critique of accounts
on a {p. 26} single event, this contribution by all means still belongs
into the range of such “revisions” which can also be found in the established
literature.
The contribution by Werner Rademacher on the “Case of Walter
Lüftl” is closest to being a mixed composition. To the extent that it refers
to the topic itself, it states undeniable facts which in the meantime
have also been confirmed by courts: that a fire expert may claim that
flames shooting out of crematory chimneys as attested to by many witnesses
cannot exist as a result of the laws of the natural sciences, that
they therefore must be fantasies. But vis-à-vis this expert, namely the
former president of the association of Austrian civil engineers Walter
Lüftl himself, not only experts may comment on conclusions which
cannot be deduced from the question of detail about the reality or irreality
of flames.
This leaves us with the two most well-known authors: Germar Rudolf
and Robert Faurisson. Several years ago and in the context of a
trial against a publisher indicted for revisionist propaganda, Germar
Rudolf, a PhD student of chemistry and employee at a Max Planck Institute,
presented an expert report on cyanide traces in the gas chambers
of Auschwitz which followed the trail of the so-called Leuchter Report
but was obviously much more detailed and exact. Excerpts of this expert
report were published, apparently without the author’s consent, in a
periodical justly qualified as propagandistic, resulting in a criminal investigation
against Rudolf. Meanwhile he has extended his expert report,
made it more precise, and has sent it to numerous addressees, so
that his {p. 27} name, together with Leuchter’s, has frequently been
classified among the “Auschwitz deniers” in public. This qualification
was justified insofar as Rudolf, just like Leuchter, has too quickly deduced
a too far-reaching conclusion from verifiable and, taken as such,
exact results. It is of course legitimate to conduct comparative studies of
cyanide residues in walls of disinfestation chambers on the one hand
and on the other hand of rooms which have been identified as homicidal
gas chambers and which have originally been planned as morgue basements.
