GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

The main result was no surprise in that the difference between the<br />

blue stained walls of the disinfestation chambers and the absence of<br />

such traces in the “morgue basements” or “gas chambers” has been<br />

know and perceptible to the senses for a long time. Hence Leuchter and<br />

<strong>Rudolf</strong> cast old news into a scientific form, and the explanation of the<br />

difference is intelligible even to the lay person: Zyklon B as a disinfestation<br />

agent has to be applied for a long time in order to combat vermin,<br />

whereas it is lethal for humans already at much lower doses. The path<br />

chosen by Leuchter and <strong>Rudolf</strong> was scientifically valuable nonetheless,<br />

because the opportunity of an objective verification of subjective witness<br />

account arose from it. The prerequisite for this would be, though,<br />

that the amount of cyanide residues could be calculated which would<br />

have to be present, if statements such as those by Filip Müller are correct.<br />

The difficulties impeding such a calculation are easily perceptible;<br />

one could not claim it to be impossible, though, if considering the before<br />

mentioned astounding proofs {p. 28} of prehistoric research. However,<br />

as far as I know, this step has not been taken yet, and Leuchter as<br />

well as <strong>Rudolf</strong> can only be credited for having paved the way to natural<br />

scientific pursuits of Auschwitz research yet to be undertaken.<br />

But it is exactly [the book] Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte which<br />

proves that <strong>Rudolf</strong> has commented not merely single aspects as an expert,<br />

but that he is led by a general conception which he tries to articulate<br />

not just as an individual but in collaboration with others. For the<br />

editor “Ernst Gauss” is identical with <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong>, and thus a substantial<br />

part of the book has been authored by him alone.<br />

The first individual contribution signed with his name can be considered<br />

to be a mere, and as such entirely legitimate, review of the anthology<br />

Dimension des Völkermords [Dimension of Genocide] edited<br />

by Wolfgang Benz, who in fact proceeds from the premise worthy of<br />

critique that one could be able to determine the number of victims of the<br />

National Socialist measures of extermination by comparing the number<br />

of Jews in statistics before and after the Second World War. But since<br />

<strong>Rudolf</strong> identifies himself almost without reservation with the results of<br />

Walter Sanning, which are methodically at least as questionable, this<br />

discussion basically amounts to a “denial of the Holocaust.”<br />

The result of the essay “The ‘gas chambers’ of Auschwitz and Majdanek”<br />

quite unequivocally points into the same direction. The kernel of<br />

this denial, however, is a factual assertion {p. 29} which can be verified.<br />

It is the hypothesis also supported by John Clive Ball and which<br />
