GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

but it suppressed the obvious, namely that the heads of the respective<br />

governments had predicted the extermination of neither the Germans in<br />

England nor the Japanese citizens in the U.S. and that none of them had<br />

to wear humiliating tags. And today he has to accept that already with<br />

this memorial book the factuality of this genocide of a unique kind is<br />

proved beyond doubt and that this misdeed cannot be restricted to the<br />

German Jews, although other aspects have to come into play then as<br />

well. He will not lose the feeling of shame and agony, because he has<br />

not become guilty by any action, and he will also not reject them due to<br />

the knowledge that similar deportations and mass killings have occurred<br />

earlier in other large European countries. Quite to the contrary, the feeling<br />

of dejection will rather increase when he realizes that these more<br />

indigent and more forsaken among the German Jews were accused by<br />

the National Socialists of being “enemies” because they were claimed<br />

to be the “creators of Bolshevism” and on top of it at once representatives<br />

of “capitalism.” Only one thing will he deny himself, as strong as<br />

the temptation must be: to accuse the nation {p. 37} as such, to which<br />

he belongs, because he knows that the same kind of accusation was<br />

once directed against the Jews and that it drew its strength from the<br />

general human urge to identify “the evil” and to find “culprits.”<br />

One should not ask the revisionists: “Are you, as we are, convinced<br />

of the existence of homicidal gas chambers?” One should rather ask<br />

them: “In the light of the Gedenkbuch, in view of that which is selfevident<br />

and undeniable, do you feel a similar consternation, a comparable<br />

despondence as it can be expected from every human being and especially<br />

from every German?” If they answer this question in a credible<br />

way, then one may say: “Continue your research and present them in<br />

the form of arguments. We will contradict your arguments with arguments,<br />

but we will not see enemies in you, but opponents instead.” If<br />

the answer is “No,” then it would be too much of an honor to persecute<br />

them as enemies; one should turn away from them and not talk about<br />

them any longer.<br />
