GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

uniqueness and scope of this particular event, especially when it is used<br />

to persecute Palestinians and promote endless war in the Middle East.<br />

That Jews suffered greatly during the Third Reich is not in question,<br />

but the notion of a premeditated, planned and industrial extermination<br />

of Europe’s Jews with its iconic gas chambers and immutable six million<br />

are all used to make the Holocaust not only special but also sacred.<br />

We are faced with a new, secular religion with astonishing power to<br />

command worship. And, like Christianity with its Immaculate Conception,<br />

Crucifixion, and Resurrection, the Holocaust has key and sacred<br />

elements – the exterminationist imperative, the gas chambers, and the<br />

sacred six million. It is these that comprise the holy Holocaust which<br />

Jews, Zionists, and others worship and which <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> and other<br />

revisionists question.<br />

Nor is this a small matter. If it were, why the fuss? Why the witchhunt?<br />

Why the demonization and imprisonment of David Irving, Ernst<br />

Zündel and <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong>? And it is not just these infidels. What may<br />

well be a massive lie is being used to oppress whole nations. The German<br />

and Austrian people are blamed for conceiving and perpetrating<br />

the slaughter; the Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian,<br />

Rumanian, and Hungarian people are blamed for hosting, assisting,<br />

and cheering on the slaughter; the Americans, the British, the<br />

French, the Dutch, the Belgians, the Italians, and even Diaspora Jews<br />

are blamed for not doing enough to stop the slaughter; the Swiss are<br />

blamed for profiting from it; the entire Christian world is blamed for its<br />

faith-traditions and ideologies that allowed the slaughter to take place;<br />

and more recently the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim people are blamed<br />

for wanting to perpetuate the slaughter by delegitimizing <strong>Is</strong>rael. To<br />

many the current version of the Holocaust oppresses the entire non-<br />

Jewish world and indeed much of the Jewish world as well.<br />

<strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> is a Holocaust revisionist and a dedicated researcher<br />

of historical evidence. For him “Holocaust denier” is simply a term of<br />

abuse to be hurled as “witch” might have been hurled in the Middle<br />

Ages. But for me, “Holocaust denier” is a label with which I have been<br />

smeared for merely trying to define the term. Although I have never<br />

denied any of the three tenets of the orthodox Holocaust narrative, the<br />

mere fact that I am interested in revisionism and have actually met contemporary<br />

revisionists has caused the more cowardly of my colleagues<br />

to smear me and denigrate my reputation at Hobart and William Smith<br />

Colleges.<br />
