6. Footnotes

[1] I would like to thank the many Revisionists around the world who have supported my personal work at Adelaide Institute. There are too many to list, but I mention from Australia Mrs Olga Scully, Lila McIntosh, Mohammed Hegazi, Peter Rackemann, John Brown, James McGregor, Peter Hartung of Australia Free Press, David Brockschmidt, and all the many Adelaide Institute supporters who have enabled me to continue this work full-time since 1994. A thank you to John Bennett of the Australian Civil Liberties Union who in 1979 lit the Revisionist torch in Australia by sending free copies of Arthur Butz's classic, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, literally to hundreds of public figures. Later, during my 1999 imprisonment at Mannheim, John organized the defence fund for me. Another thank you to courageous Christopher Steele for launching the first expose of the Auschwitz gas-chamber myth at Adelaide's Constitutional Museum in 1983, after having received a copy of the Butz book from Werner Fischer. However, had it not been for American Willis Carto's pioneering work in publishing in 1969 The Myth of the Six Million, and founding in 1979 the Institute for Historical Review in California on to whose editorial advisory board Carto invited John Bennett, among others, we would not have been able to view Revisionist work from almost a continuous half-century perspective. Needless to say that Frenchman Paul Rassinier was one of a number of earlier Revisionists who in isolation did pioneering work, and I think of Dr Wilhelm Stäglich who symbolizes the solitary nature of Revisionist work. Revisionists, in essence, are individuals who mostly work alone, in some collaboration, but rarely in a mass movement. For that their thinking is way ahead of the prevailing orthodoxy, which has little tolerance when it comes to enduring personal discomfort while pursuing an ideal, in this instance the search for truth in history. 
My special thanks go to Jupp, a retired construction engineer, and a former member of the Australian Institute of Engineers, who built the scaled models of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau and at Treblinka concentration camps. Jupp's models clearly illustrate the factually absurd nature of the homicidal gassing claims.

[2] On 20 July 1994 Australia's ABC TV Lateline 1994 program screened 'The Big Lie', wherein 'Holocaust'  matters were canvassed in some detail by presenter Paul Barry and guests Dr Bill Leadbetter, Genocide Studies, Macquarie University, Sydney, and Professor Deborah Lipstadt, Emory University. Atlanta. Among other things Paul Barry canvassed the following with Lipstadt:

Paul Barry: "Just tell me briefly, how overwhelming, in your view, well not just in your view, how overwhelming is the evidence of the Holocaust?

1.  Deborah Lipstadt: It's so overwhelming that the facts are just beyond belief and beyond question. We have in the United States alone  ... in the National Archives, 28,000 linear feet of files on the activities of the deniers, I'm sorry, of the SS. So for the deniers to say that this didn't happen - but that documentation what the survivors provide is exceptionally important documentation, and the bystanders provide important documentation. The Poles who watched trains go into the camps, day after day, and come out empty, full of people, and come out empty, who knew exactly what was going on. Our best witnesses, our best source, are the perpetrators. The documentation that they left us, lists of people who were killed. They left us plans for the gas chambers, and of course the perpetrators. The perpetrators say "I did it' in interviews, just saying 'I did it' in trials. They say "I did it' in interviews and on other occasions and context.

2. On 'Holocaust' deniers: "[They] are a lunatic fringe. these people are consumed and motivated by hate. Truth doesn't enter into their equation at all, it's hate ...For me it's not an issue of free speech {but} an issue of providing them a platform. When you have a denier - what they say is absolute rubbish - do you give them a forum, invite them into your universities when  what they're saying is the equivalent of 'the earth is flat' or 'Elvis Presley is alive and well', or 'there was no slavery'. ... [Will not debate them] I won't dignify them by making them sound like an other side, that someone would sit and say, well, here's one side, Deborah Lipstadt is a better debater but maybe there's some truth to what the other side said ... I can ridicule them easily. I can demolish what they said on the clip [Geoff Muirden] that there were no plans, that there are millions of survivors, the fact that there were survivors means the Holocaust didn't happen implies everything the Nazis did they accomplished. Well, the Nazis set out to win World War Two. They lost the war, so ipso facto, they didn't accomplish everything they wanted. I wouldn't be afraid of taking them on, face to face. The reason I don't is I don't want to dignify them as another side. You wouldn't ask someone who is an astronomy expert to come in and debate whether the world is flat or whether the world is round ... the other reason is that they lie, they pull things out of context."     

3. On gas chamber evidence: "The evidence is overwhelming. First of all we have the plans, the architectural plans for converting the buildings to gas chambers ... We have work orders from the firm building the gas chambers in Auschwitz, to the suppliers "Please send us gas-tight doors, send us a door, we need to manufacture a door with a peep-hole'. The deniers claim these were delousing chambers solely to get rid of the lice in the clothing. Why would you need a peep-hole, to see when the clothes stopped moving? 'Send us a handle for a gas-tight door' - all sorts of references which could only be used for gas chambers. And coming out of Moscow now, the archives in Moscow are even more detailed. One of the reasons the Moscow archives has all this information is that Auschwitz was liberated by the Russians and they picked up the archives, and those archives have sat in Moscow for the past years. I want to make another point that is equally important. The deniers like to say that all these things are forged. They'll look at these plans and say these are forged. The list of peoples, names, thousands of names killed, is all forgery. And then they'll go ahead and say, David Irving likes to do this, 'show me the one piece of paper that says "I, Adolf Hitler hereby order the extermination of the Jews", signed Adolf Hitler, then I'll believe the Holocaust happened'. I'd like to ask them if the hoaxers, so-called hoaxers, and they're the Jews, were able to forge all this information with the help of the allies and planted it in the archives, why don't they just forge that one piece of paper that says, "I, Adolf Hitler, hereby order the extermination of the Jews", and that'll settle the argument. Clearly that piece of paper won't be found because that's not how the Nazis operated. But again the fallacy of their argument is really quite evident if you just think about it a little bit."

4. On deniers a danger: "What I'd like to say it that ... the deniers are not a clear and present danger. They're a clear and future danger. It's when there people won't be around as I said earlier who said, "I saw this. This is what happened to me", that it'll be much easier to ply their wares, and that's what they're looking for a day down the road, which is one reason they target the college campus to get the younger people, and there are people who are tenacious. They are haters, and haters, whether they're hating Jews or hating racial minorities, or hating whatever, haters are tenacious in their hatred and truth is very fragile."

Bill Leadbetter: The Holocaust deniers are ideologically motivated: i. They are antisemites; ii. They don't want to give Jews the  moral legitimacy they get from being victims of the Holocaust; iii. Deniers have a political agenda - Nazism is a good thing but is negated by the Holocaust.

Also featured in the introduction was a clip of Professor Robert Jan van Pelt showing the existence of air ventilation ducts for 'the gas chamber', something Fritjof Meyer expressly, and wisely, now discounts, i.e. eight years later - see Footnote 21. The fact is that German law prescribed strict regulations governing mortuaries and their ventilation systems.

[3] Any Internet search engine will reveal the existence of extensive propaganda material on Auschwitz, with German media outlets at the forefront linking any current political issue with the alleged Auschwitz 'extermination' camp. For example, on 25 October 2006, the email service of the tagesschau.de ran an article about a Holocaust exhibition at German railway stations, and how the Transport Minister, Wolfgang Tiefensee is conflicting with the Director of the DB - German Railways, Hartmut Mehdorn, who opposes such an exhibition. The Internet website contains various links, including ‚Auschwitz: Das präzedenzlose Verbrechen’ – ‘Auschwitz, the crime without precedent’, where is presented the usual unsubstantiated rubbish about Germany’s cruelty and ‘break with civilisation’. The Iranian president is also mentioned by name and as is usual in German and Zionist-controlled media outlets, his statements are distorted and falsified. For example, the President does not 'deny' the Holocaust as such, i.e. that the murder of Europe’s Jews is a myth. He has asked this issue to be investigated because things have been mythologised.  http://www.tagesschau.de/aktuell/meldungen/0,1185,OID6033194_REF1,00.html; the Revisionist Forum http://forum.codoh.com/ invites  individuals to participate in a lively exchange of views, something that Holocaust dogmatists such as Professor Deborah Lipstadt vehemently oppose because for her 'there is no debate on the Holocaust'. See DVD of her appearance on ABC TV Lateline, 20 July 1994.

[4] The other camps are Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno, Majdanek, and there is also the alleged 'auxiliary extermination camp' Stutthoff, near Danzig in western Prussia.

It is customary to refer to the Auschwitz Stammlager - base camp - as Auschwitz I, and to Auschwitz-Birkenau as Auschwitz II, while the reference to cremation facilities at Auschwitz I is referred to as Krema I and for Auschwitz II, as Krema II, III, IV and V. Auschwitz-Monowitz is referred to as Auschwitz III, where the Buna synthetic rubber plant was situated.

 [5] Norman Finkelstein: The Holocaust Industry. Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering; also The New Statement, London, November 20, 2000. Finkestein is critical of the economic exploitation of so-called 'Holocaust' survivors who generally never received much from the massive reparation claims paid to world Jewish organisations, but he does not extend his criticism to the factuality of the actual '6 million murdered' claim. Such a claim is simplistic and it does not amaze that it has succeeded until the present. For example, the gassing claim begins with a basic factual truth: Zyklon-B gas was used in concentration camps for disinfection purposes. From this fact the story begins to be exaggerated by recounting personal suffering of individuals - which is also a fact, ending in distortions and wild imaginings and fabrications to outright lying For example, deaths occurred in the camps, especially during the final stages of the war when allied saturation bombing destroyed Germany's supply lines. We know from the recent Iraq invasion how devastating such bombing can be to destroying the fabric of social and economic order. The motto at the Auschwitz entrance - Arbeit Macht Frei-work liberates - has also been twisted and perverted to support claims of cruelty, slave labour, sadistic murders and the German's inhumanity towards its war-time prison populations. The equivalent of this motto in English is 'idle hands invite the devil'. During and post World War Two the USA, Australia and other countries had an extensive concentration camp program, the Rhein Wiesen in Germany comes to mind here where the allies starved hundreds of thousands of German soldiers to death. Naturally it is in the allies' interest to deflect from their crimes perpetrated upon the German people, and the 'Holocaust' lies to this day serve to deflect from an analysis of such crimes. All means are used to hold on to these lies, for example the current Revisionists before German courts cannot defend themselves because of the legal principle of 'Offenkundigkeit - judicial notice', whereby the actual physical issues are not canvassed and tested for truth-content in any trial. The 'Holocaust' happened, and so matters do not have to be re-tested in court. In fact, doing such testing will merely prove that an accused is an 'Überzeugungstäter - a convinced perpetrator, and any verdict in favour of the accused would then set a precedent, which would have ramifications on those thousands of earlier successful prosecutions. The German legal system is indeed in a bind - and so now we witness it moving inexorably into decline as decisions become more abstract and absurd, all for the sake of upholding the 'Holocaust' lies.

Alan M Dershowitz: The Vanishing American Jew. In Search of Jewish Identity for the Next Century. 1997 ISBN 0-316-18133-1. Dershowitz states quite specifically that an actual investigation of eyewitness claims must not be aired in court because the 1988 Zündel trial showed the Revisionists would win the factual argument. Imagine, had we not had the 1988 Zündel trial, then the four million Auschwitz deaths toll would still be on those 20 plaques at Auschwitz-Birkenau, which were removed and re-appeared some years later with the figure 1-1.5 million deaths.

[7] Robert Jan van Pelt, Deborah Dwork: Auschwitz. From 1270 To The Present, 1996, state at p.363-64, that Krema I was merely a symbolic representation of what actually happened at the Birkenau 'homicidal gas chambers', in effect de-commissioning Krema I as a homicidal gas chamber. During my 1997 and 1999 visit to Auschwitz, tourists were still being told Auschwitz-Stammlager, Krema I, was a 'homicidal gas chamber'. For statements that Krema I is still a gas chamber, see: 2.01 'Disparities in Hydrocyanic Compound Levels' at http://www.shamash.org/holocaust/denial/answers.txt.

 

[8] Prof Arthur Butz, in his 1976 published classic - now 3rd edition by TDP, 2003 - The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, reasoned without visiting the camp that Auschwitz was a labour and transit camp; The Leuchter Report, 1988 and The Rudolf Report, 1993, confirm that no Zyklon-B residual was to be found in the alleged homicidal gas chambers. But as in the Treblinka case below, the Jupp model shows, without a chemical analysis, that it was physically impossible to gas and cremate the number of bodies claimed by the orthodox Auschwitz story. Hence the reduction of alleged killed at Auschwitz after the 1988 Ernst Zündel Toronto trial from four million to 1-1.5 million - but still the claim persists that the total number Jews killed remains at six million! In her 1995 published book, The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism: Keystone of the New World Order, Margaret Stucki, writing under the pseudonym Ben Weintraub, explains how the 6 million is a magic Kabbalistic number, which has incorporated the 'Holocaust' into Judaism, thereby giving it absolute religious significance. Unrelated, but perhaps of interest to those who are looking for overarching principles in internationalist human endeavour, is the world quest to enshrine climate change in law. A first analysis of such mindset is found in Smith, J and Shearman, D: Climate Change Litigation. Analysing the law, scientific evidence & impacts on the environment, health & property.

[11] Former Adelaide resident now living in Melbourne, Australia, 'Holocaust' survivor, Fred Steiner, in 1994 stated at a public meeting at the University of Adelaide: “I did not see the gas chambers, but I could smell them”. The huge industrial complex that was Auschwitz generated smells, beginning with tannery smells, and those generated by the large Buna synthetic rubber production facilities. Such eyewitness evidence as the above is worthless, and when such witnesses are advised they need more to prove their allegations that gassings occurred at Auschwitz, they usually play on hurt feelings – and then the discussion is terminated, sometimes followed by a threat that ‘legal action will follow this confrontation’ because the memory of the dead has been defiled.

Dear Sir or Madam,
As a Professor of Political Science at the University of Ferdowsi in Mashhad, Iran, I wish to hereby lodge an official complaint regarding the broadcast of the Lateline program on Australian Broadcasting Corporation Television on the 21st February 2006. During this program it was stated in a story by the reporter Mr Tom Iggelton that He [Dr Toben] will be taking the model with him on what he describes as an academic tour of Iran where he will be speaking at Universities recently accused of being recruiting grounds for suicide bombers.
We were only recently made aware of this statement from the transcript at this website address:
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2006/s1575325.htm

Both staff and students feel very much insulted and offended to be slurred in this manner and request a written explanation from the management of the ABC to explain this officially published statement. On behalf of the University of Ferdowsi, and indeed all Iranian Universities, I would also request of you to disclose the source(s) on which this statement is based on to allow us to mount a defence against such an accusation. We would appreciate your addressing this matter as soon as possible in order to have it resolved.
Sincerely,
Dr Reza Khaji

---------------

Dear Dr Kahji
Thank you for your email of 1 August 2006, regarding the Lateline story about the visit of Dr Toben to Iran.
It is important to understand that the reference to "suicide bombers" being recruited from Iranian universities was made by Dr Toben himself. It is not the view of the ABC. The ABC has a responsibility to report events in an accurate manner, and it has accurately reported the claims of Dr Toben in this report.
Dr Toben, as you may be aware, is a controversial academic who was imprisoned in Germany in 1999 for denying the Holocaust.
The reporting of his remarks are no different to the reporting of the views of other notable and controversial figures whose ideas the ABC does not share. For example - remarks about Israel by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also included in this report.
The reporter, Tom Iggulden, has advised he would be very interested in any information you have regarding Mr Toben's visits to Iran and his activities while there. He said he would be particularly interested in any video footage of his visit that you may be aware of so that we might follow Dr Tobin's activities. Mr Iggulden has expressed a strong desire to challenge Dr Tobin's claims in a follow-up story and, to that end, we are pleased that you are now in contact with the ABC to provide a rebuttal of Dr Toben's allegations.
Yours sincerely

Kieran Doyle

His new trial for publishing Revisionist material on the Internet began at Mannheim on 14 November 2006.

“In 1945 the Soviet investigative committee counted four million victims of the National Socialist labour and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau - a product of war propaganda. How many people indeed fell victim to this unique mass murder could only be estimated up until now. The first Holocaust historian, Gerald Reitlinger reckoned one million, the latest research estimates several hundred thousand less. Two new documents on the capacity of the crematoria now confirm the extant documents on the internments into the camp. With this, the dimensions of this break with civilization at last move into the realm of the imaginable and thus only now become a convincing portent for future generations.
"A key document, which gives information about the capacity of the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau, has now been found. Simultaneously to the length of time for which these were in use, a statement by Rudolf Höß has come to light. In connection with the extant documents, which have to a large extent been ignored, concerning themselves with those who were interned into this camp, it is now possible to calculate more accurately how many people were murdered in Auschwitz. To indicate it in advance: Half a million fell victim to the genocide, 350,000 of those were gassed.
“Of course the crematoria were not in service permanently, but often broke down. The crematorium II, which had been taken into service on 15 March 1943, was already damaged after nine days, and the repair work only "neared completion" on 18 July. The repair of 20 oven doors of the two big crematoria was ordered on 3 April 1944 and completed only on 17 October. The chimney of crematorium III, which had been in working order since 22 March, already showed cracks on 3 April and was unusable by mid May. After the war, the commandant of the camp, Rudolf Höß, reported: "After a short while, Crematorium III totally broke down and was later not at all used. IV [taken into service on 4 April 1943, F. M.] had to be shut down repeatedly as the chimneys or ovens were burnt out after a short time in service of four to six weeks"; this gives a working time of 509 days for II, 462 days for II, only 50 days for III and 309 days for IV, thus 971 days in 15 muffles and 359 days in 8 muffles.
“Professor Van Pelt now delivers the second surprising piece of information when he quotes a Höß statement made during cross-examination before the Cracow court in 1947: "After eight or ten hours of operation the crematoria were unfit for further use. It was impossible to operate them continuously."
With the average value of this detail, i.e. nine hours daily operating time, we get with three bodies per muffle 18 cremations daily, in Kremas I & II thus 270, together 540; in Kremas III & IV, 144 each, together 288, therefore a total of 828 per day. The conclusion is simple: during the 971 days of operation, 262 170 bodies in total could be cremated in Kremas I & II; in Kremas III & IV in 359 days a total of 51 696. This makes it a grand total of 313 866 corpses cremated at Birkenau.
“I cannot enter into the details here that the extant written evidence, namely documents about a refit of Crematoria buildings which were originally not for such a purpose into "gas cellars". Chutes (introduction holes) for throwing the gas in and gas as well as the relevant eye witness statements, rather points towards attempts in March/April 1943 to use the mortuaries for the mass murders, after the crematoria were completed in the early summer of 1943. This obviously failed, because the ventilation was counter-productive, and because the expected mass of victims did not arrive in the following eleven months. The actually perpetrated genocide probably took place mainly in the two converted farmhouses outside the camp;
“As far as the capacity is concerned, 350 000 people could have been gassed alone in the "Red House", or "Bunker II", within two years. But not necessarily meant actually killed. Even the establishment of the large crematories in 1943, the rate of murder sank dramatically with their being brought into service, for the period of one year due to an order by Himmler, who terminated the supposed gas murders in the extermination camps along the German-Soviet demarcation line of 1939: Belzec, Sobibôr and Treblinka.”

[23] When Jupp donated these models to Adelaide Institute, we passed the first to the Iranian research institute, ASRA, Mashhad, http://www.asraco.com and after today I shall hand over the second model to PSR, Tehran, so that this may assist its research students to grapple with ‘Holocaust’ matters. Jupp is a hobby model builder, and he used information obtained from current conventional ‘Holocaust’ literature about the camps’ dimensions. I drew heavily upon his engineering expertise and personal research when preparing today’s material, but I must stress that Jupp’s role in all this has been strictly limited to his professional competence, as reflected in his research findings on Auschwitz and Treblinka camps. There is no inference to be made that his work in any way denies the ‘Holocaust’ or Jewish persecution during World War Two – that matter I take upon myself!
