4.4.2.2. Faurisson and the Consequences<br />

As a result of Prof. Faurisson’s activities as described in chapter 3,<br />

forensic research on Auschwitz boomed since 1988. Each time a researcher<br />

came to a conclusion contradicting the widely held views, he<br />

was socially ostracized and persecuted, like Prof. Faurisson, Fred<br />

Leuchter and Germar Rudolf, but when the results confirmed the reigning<br />

paradigms, the researchers were darlings of the media and politicians,<br />

like Jean-Claude Pressac, the researchers from the Jan Sehn Institute<br />

in Krakow, and more recently Prof. Robert van Pelt. 74<br />

It must therefore be stated that forensic research on Auschwitz is not<br />

at all reprehensible, as stated by the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart.<br />

Such research was always done, more or less intensively. What is often<br />

considered to be reprehensible, however, is a research result that is unwanted<br />

by the public. This is an unfortunate bias, because science can<br />

prosper only where any result is openly and freely published and discussed<br />

without researchers fearing punitive measures.<br />

The present book is an attempt to give the reader an update about the<br />

results of the ongoing forensic research on the two major camps of<br />

Auschwitz, the Stammlager or main camp close to the town of Auschwitz<br />

itself, and the Birkenau camp some 3 km to the northwest of the<br />

town. May it not lead to more persecution and ostracism of its author<br />

than he already has experienced. 93<br />
