GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYAppendix 2: Motions to Introduce Evidence andTheir RejectionThe first motion of the defense to introduce evidence during the trialagainst Germar Rudolf was also the last one granted by the court, althoughonly partially. It concerned the introduction of the book Lectureson the Holocaust into the trial by reading it out publicly. The court determined,though, that the book will be read in privacy. Hence the bookwas not read aloud publicly during the proceedings, but each party involvedwas ordered to read it during their spare time.All motions subsequently filed by the defense were rejected by thecourt for various reasons. The prosecution did not file a single motion –except for the one asking the court to sentence the defendant. Some ofthe motions will be reproduced entirely or partly, followed by thecourt’s – sometimes cumulative – reasons of rejection. Comments areadded where appropriate. 286Motion of 12 February 2007Annex 2In the matter of Germar Rudolf […] I request to introduce into theproceedings the following books listed in the indictment as subjects ofthe accusation, to be read in privacy: 2871.
