Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYThe main result was no surprise in that the difference between theblue stained walls of the disinfestation chambers and the absence ofsuch traces in the “morgue basements” or “gas chambers” has beenknow and perceptible to the senses for a long time. Hence Leuchter andRudolf cast old news into a scientific form, and the explanation of thedifference is intelligible even to the lay person: Zyklon B as a disinfestationagent has to be applied for a long time in order to combat vermin,whereas it is lethal for humans already at much lower doses. The pathchosen by Leuchter and Rudolf was scientifically valuable nonetheless,because the opportunity of an objective verification of subjective witnessaccount arose from it. The prerequisite for this would be, though,that the amount of cyanide residues could be calculated which wouldhave to be present, if statements such as those by Filip Müller are correct.The difficulties impeding such a calculation are easily perceptible;one could not claim it to be impossible, though, if considering the beforementioned astounding proofs {p. 28} of prehistoric research. However,as far as I know, this step has not been taken yet, and Leuchter aswell as Rudolf can only be credited for having paved the way to naturalscientific pursuits of Auschwitz research yet to be undertaken.But it is exactly [the book] Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte whichproves that Rudolf has commented not merely single aspects as an expert,but that he is led by a general conception which he tries to articulatenot just as an individual but in collaboration with others. For theeditor “Ernst Gauss” is identical with Germar Rudolf, and thus a substantialpart of the book has been authored by him alone.The first individual contribution signed with his name can be consideredto be a mere, and as such entirely legitimate, review of the anthologyDimension des Völkermords [Dimension of Genocide] editedby Wolfgang Benz, who in fact proceeds from the premise worthy ofcritique that one could be able to determine the number of victims of theNational Socialist measures of extermination by comparing the numberof Jews in statistics before and after the Second World War. But sinceRudolf identifies himself almost without reservation with the results ofWalter Sanning, which are methodically at least as questionable, thisdiscussion basically amounts to a “denial of the Holocaust.”The result of the essay “The ‘gas chambers’ of Auschwitz and Majdanek”quite unequivocally points into the same direction. The kernel ofthis denial, however, is a factual assertion {p. 29} which can be verified.It is the hypothesis also supported by John Clive Ball and which278
