THE RUDOLF REPORT

5. AUSCHWITZA.: After the war, first, I had other problems. And now it is nolonger permitted.Q.: Have you been interrogated as a witness in this matter?A.: No Allied, German, or Austrian agency has ever taken an interestin my knowledge of the construction of crematoria II and III,I or my other activity in the former general government. I wasnever interrogated in this matter, although my services for theHuta Corporation were known. I mentioned them in all my laterCVs and recruitment applications. Since knowledge of the factsis dangerous, however, I never felt any urge to disseminate it.But now, when the lies are getting increasingly bolder and contemporarywitnesses like myself are slowly but surely dying off,I am glad that someone is willing to listen and set down the wayit really was. I have serious heart trouble and can die at anymoment, it’s time now.Prof. van Pelt has stated as follows on crematorium II: 179“Auschwitz is like the Holy of Holies. I’ve prepared for years to gothere. And to have a fool [Leuchter] come in, coming completely unprepared,it’s sacrilege! Somebody who walks into the Holy of Holies anddoesn’t give a damn.” [00:44:30]“Crematorium II is the most [word indistinct: notorious?] of Auschwitz.In the twenty-five hundred square feet of this one room more peoplelost their lives than in any other place on this planet. Five hundred thousandpeople were killed. If you would draw a map of human suffering, ifyou create a geography of atrocities, this would be the absolute center.”[01:00:00]“If the Holocaust revisionists would be shown to be right we wouldlose our sense about the Second World War, we would lose our senseabout what democracy was. The Second World War was a moral war; itwas a war between good and evil. And so if we take the core of this war,which is in fact Auschwitz, out of the picture, then everything else becomesunintelligible to us. We collectively end up in a madhouse.”[01:23:30]We will not allow ourselves to be distracted by the notion thatProf. van Pelt considers internment in a madhouse the only alternative179 Van Pelt’s testimony in Errol Morris’ documentary movie Mr Death, op. cit.
