THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTwritten by a Jew is not mentioned anywhere, nor is there any referenceto the religious affiliation of this person in this article. There is also noassertion in Remer’s (or his friend’s) comments “that the Holocaustwas an invention of the Jews,” quite contrary to what the court claims.All that Remer’s friend did was to juxtapose the letter from Israel witha letter from the City of Dachau, in which the latter clarifies that therehad never been any homicidal gassings in the concentration camp atDachau.The court had not examined whether or not this letter existed,therefore, on the principle “In dubio pro reo,” it had to assume that itdid exist. In fact, not just Remer but also many other activists had photocopiesof the letter which Remer’s friend had reproduced in the appendixto Remer’s version. It is a fact that there is a large number ofstatements from witnesses attesting to homicidal gassing in Dachau,but it is also well known that both the official Dachau ConcentrationCamp Museum as well as the City of Dachau clearly state that therewere never any homicidal gassings of humans in this concentrationcamp. 575These well-recognized facts were given with the documents publishedor quoted by Remer (or his friend), which cannot be a crime. Inhis commentary on this letter, Remer points out that false witnessstatements like the one quoted here, attesting to his uncle’s death in aDachau gas chamber, serve as a basis for ‘common knowledge’ inGermany. Nowhere did he make the claim that anybody had lied forpurposes of material enrichment. It is the court that is to blame for thecharge that the reader would get the impression from these two reproduceddocuments, Remer wanted to impute, Jews had invented a lie forthe purpose of exploiting Germany.That even Jews sometimes make false statements about the periodbetween 1945 and 1993 cannot be disputed. This was particularly clearin the criminal trial of John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem. The trial endedwith an acquittal for the accused, since even the Israeli court could notshut its eyes to the flood of false documents and false witness testimony.576 Fortunately, in this case also, Jewish personalities turned575 There are, of course, other sources contradicting this, see Reinhold Schwertfeger, “Gab esGaskammern im Altreich?”, VffG, 5(4) (2001), pp. 446-449 (online:www.vho.org/VffG/2001/4/Schwertfeger446-449.html).576 Cf. the summarizing article of Arnulf Neumaier, op. cit.
