Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYJudeocide,” I recommend reading the quote taken from my expert report163 and set in italics on pp. 34f. of the indictment:“To everyone who has ever suspected that revisionists are motivatedby a desire to whitewash National Socialism, or restore theacceptability of rightwing political systems, or assist in a breakthroughof Nationalism, I would like to say the following:While researching, our highest goal must at all times be to discoverhow historical events actually occurred (as the 19th centuryGerman historian Leopold Ranke maintained). Historians should notplace research in the service of making criminal accusationsagainst, for example, Genghis Khan and the Mongol hordes, nor towhitewash any of their wrong-doings. Anybody insisting that researchbe barred from exonerating Genghis Khan of criminal accusationswould be the object of derision and ridicule and would besubject to the suspicion that he was, in fact, acting out of politicalmotives. If this were not so, why would anyone insist that our historicalview of Genghis Khan forever be defined solely by Khan’s victimsand enemies?The same reasoning applies to Hitler and the Third Reich. Bothrevisionists and their adversaries are entitled to their political views.The accusation, however, that revisionists do what they are doingmerely in order to exonerate National Socialism and that such an effortis reprehensible or even criminal, is a boomerang: because thisaccusation implies that it is deemed unacceptable to exonerate NationalSocialism historically (and by so doing, always also partiallymorally). But by declaring this as unacceptable, one admits openlynot to be interested in the quest for the truth, but in incriminatingNational Socialism historically and morally. And the motivation behindthis can only be political. Hence, those accusing revisionists ofmisusing their research for political ends have themselves beenproven guilty of exactly this offense. It is therefore not necessarilythe revisionists who are guided by political motives, but with absolutecertainty all those who accuse the revisionists of attempting tosomehow historically exonerate a long since rotten personage, along since perished political system from an era which has ended along time ago.163 Germar Rudolf, Das Rudolf-Gutachten, 2nd ed.
