THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTchambers is the result of gassings with hydrogen cyanide. Hence hedisagrees with the opinion of Markiewicz and others that this Iron Bluehas its origin for different reasons, like residual paint. Consequently,Dr. Green should refuse the approach of the Cracow team to excludeIron Blue from the analysis, because this would most likely exclude themajor parts of the cyanide residues formed by gassings with HCN ingeneral (not just in case of delousing chambers). Subsequently, Dr.Green should furthermore criticize Markiewicz for having chosen amethod of analysis which must lead to faulty and misleading result, asI did. Additionally and more generally, he should say that the Polishscientists neither tried to understand what they claimed not to have understood,nor discussed the attempts to understand as made by others,which were known to them. No matter which results the Polish scientistsproduced and what their scientific opinion might have been: theirbehavior is extremely unscientific, as the most important task of ascientist is to try to understand what has not been understood sofar, and to discuss the attempts of others to make understandable.The Polish scientists did just the opposite: they decided to ignore andexclude what they did not understand. Finally, in their article as well asin a letter to me, the Polish scientists themselves stated that the purposeof their paper was to refute the “Holocaust Deniers” and to preventHitler and National Socialism from being whitewashed, i.e., their purposewas not to find out the truth! Thus, by their own confession, theyused unscientific methods in order to produce desired results for thepurpose of achieving certain political goals.Let me quote Prof. A.R. Butz in this connection, who stated anotherappropriate metaphor to emphasize the degree of intellectual dishonestyrevealed by Markiewicz and his colleagues: 519“The argument [of Markiewicz et al. for excluding Iron Blue fromtheir analyses], to the extent that it was intelligible enough to be summarizedat all, was that they did not understand how the iron-cyanide compoundsgot to be there, so they decided to ignore them in reaching theirconclusions. I don’t understand how the moon got there, so I will ignoreall effects associated with it, such as tides. I hope I don’t drown.”And the amazing thing about Dr. Green is that he—and with himProf. van Pelt, who relies on Green 69 —does not only defend Prof.519 Arthur R.
