GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

was originally proffered by Robert Faurisson that there were no introduction<br />

shafts in the concrete ceilings of the “gas chambers” 24 of crematories<br />

II and III at Birkenau and that the present holes have been added<br />

later on, as could easily be discerned from photographs. If this allegation<br />

were true, grave consequences would doubtlessly result. And thus,<br />

despite its markedly restrained and almost non-polemical tones, <strong>Rudolf</strong>’s<br />

introduction, which strives to underline an internal connection<br />

between the individual contributions, reveals as well that he is convinced<br />

of the non-existence of the “alleged” National Socialist attempts<br />

of a final solution of the Jewish question.<br />

The worldwide best-known protagonist of this persuasion, Robert<br />

Faurisson, also has his say, and he expresses himself with all clarity,<br />

even with obvious polemics against “today’s Jews,” who set themselves<br />

up in their Holocaust museums “as accusers of the whole world” (p. 9)<br />

and who he had already accused in earlier publications of having put<br />

into the world and propagated as a “historical lie” the talk about the final<br />

solution in the interest of <strong>Is</strong>rael.<br />

It seems impossible to also grant Faurisson’s and <strong>Rudolf</strong>’s contributions<br />

a scientific character, which is due to the other studies, provided<br />

they are considered as studies of details and provided one excludes the<br />

questions of the authors’ “views” behind their papers as being irrelevant<br />

for science.<br />

{p. 30} But the following shouldn’t be disregarded. In the number<br />

2272 of the magazine Express (Paris) of 26 Jan. 1995 appeared a long<br />

article by Eric Conan about Auschwitz and in particular about the current<br />

condition of the facilities. Nothing is less on the author’s mind than<br />

challenging the genocide, and one could even call his opinion about the<br />

topic “Jewish revisionism.” Because Conan reproaches the communist<br />

museum administration of the years up to 1990 in an extraordinarily<br />

heavy way, for he says that they were guided by the intention to reduce<br />

the fraction of Jewish victims in favor of the Poles and especially the<br />

communists among them. They moreover are said to have striven to<br />

achieve a false vividness and thus have made so many changes to the<br />

gas chamber of crematorium I in the main camp, which is shown to the<br />

tourists, that one cannot but come to the conclusion, “Tout y est faux.”<br />

[Everything there is false] 25 It is claimed that Faurisson thus had an opportunity<br />

to exploit these “forgeries.”<br />

Yet it is nothing but a matter of fairness to recall how Faurisson’s<br />

own doubts about the “gas chambers” evolved according to his own<br />
