Arthur R. Butz – The Hoax Of The Twentieth Century

Appendix A: The ‘Statement’
Hotel Mohren in Rottweil. Frau Gerstein’s discovery of such a document in the
dark days of 1946 naturally buttressed her status as the wife of Saint Gerstein
rather than the wife of ordinary SS officer Gerstein, an enviable position for a
German at the time. The German version of the “Gerstein statement” is typewritten
and unsigned and reproduced by Roques. 444
What is presented above is what would normally be considered the “Gerstein
statement,” but the statements allegedly (according to document 1553-PS) deposited
by Gerstein in various languages in the spring of 1945 actually continue:
