THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTIt should be pointed out here that in May 2002, Fritjof Meyer, aneditor of Germany’s largest, left-wing weekly magazine Der Spiegel,stated in a scholarly article addressing the alleged death toll of Auschwitzthat the evidence indicates only some failed test gassings for theBirkenau crematoria, but no mass murder on a genocidal scale. 581 Thissensational statement is close to the claim Rudolf has been makingsince 1992, i.e., that “the mass gassings […] did not take place [as]claimed by witnesses”. Hence, Meyer’s article is nothing short of apartial but timely rehabilitation of Rudolf, and it might take only oneor two more revisions of the official historiography of Auschwitz toreach the point where it agrees totally with what Rudolf is stating in hisexpert report.I pondered a long time over the question whether or not to reprintRemer’s comments, since they caused me an awful lot of distress. But Ithink he had a perfect right to say what he had to say, and it was reallya scandal how the German legal system persecuted this old man.Though I do not agree with everything Remer and his friend wrote, andmuch less with their style, I decided to reprint these comments in full,so that the reader can understand, how easy one can get imprisoned inGermany for making, endorsing, or—as in my case—simply being associatedwith hot-headed, but perfectly legal and harmless statements.—————— Remer’s commentary ——————[Preface]Otto Ernst Remer, General-major, retired, Winkelser Str. 11E,8730 Bad Kissingen, Tel: 0971-63741, Fax: 69634To all friends, countrymen and people who love the truth: Iam in distress!On October 22, 1992, the District Court of Schweinfurt, Judge581 F.
