My Views

I figure you did not come here to read about my opinions on Global Warming, Hinduism, Jenghiz Khan, or any other real or imagined topic. No, if somebody looks up Germar Rudolf, he probably wants to learn about his views on the “Holocaust” and anything connected with it. Of course I have opinions on many other topics as well, but those will not be the focus of this section of my website. You might find some stray topics covered here as well, though, as I’ve sometimes also written about other issues.

The various papers in this section are organized hierarchically and numbered in a style as is typical for U.S. universities: It starts with a first series a “light” reading bearing 100-numbers, then gets tougher to the 200-numbers, and so on.

101: False Claims About Revisionism

This is an extremely brief list of false claims about Holocaust revisionism – and an even shorter list of correct statements.

102: The Holocaust Controversy – The Case For Open Debate

This paper presents the essence of what Holocaust revisionism is all about, condensed to fit onto a legal size flyer. It gives a quick overview for those who want to spend only a few minutes in order to get an idea about this controversial topic.

103: The First Holocaust

Since when do we know that Six Million Jews died during the Holocaust? Most people think that this was established after the War when the Allies investigated the alleged Nazi crimes during a series of court proceedings. But in his book The First Holocaust, Don Heddesheimer shows that the number can be traced back to newspaper sources going as far back as from before the First World War. This paper is a preface which I wrote for this book back in 2003.

104: An Introduction to Historical Revisionism

This text expands the issue of 102 to fill 10 pages in a letter-size brochure. It is a list of frequently asked questions about revisionism with appropriate answers to them. Some of the questions answered are, for instance: What is Revisionism? Why is historical Revisionism important? What does Holocaust Revisionism claim? What about those pictures of mountains of dead bodies in the concentration camps? Does it really matter whether prisoners died from disease or poison gas? Does it matter how many Jews were killed during the Third Reich since even one thousand would have been too many? Whatever the circumstances, don’t Jewish victims deserve respect and compensation? What do Holocaust Revisionists want? Learn the answers to these and other questions right here…

201: The Controversy about the Extermination of the Jews – An Introduction

This is a 47 letter-size pages essay about the state of the art of revisionist Holocaust research, its impact, trials and tribulations as perceived in 2003. It introduces and at once summarizes all the articles included in the revisionist anthology Dissecting the Holocaust. This paper gives a pretty comprehensive overview of the revisionist outlook on the “Holocaust” and needless to say in particular about my own views, which haven’t changed much since then. So by reading this you can both learn about the Holocaust, about revisionism, and about Yours Truly.

202: Some Technical and Chemical Considerations about the ‘Gas Chambers’ of Auschwitz and Birkenau

Zyklon B, gypsum granules soaked with highly toxic liquid hydrogen cyanide (HCN), is said to have been used in homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz to kill about one million inmates, mainly Jews. If HCN encounters rust (iron oxide), they both react and form a very stable blue pigment, which can be analytically detected for decades, if not centuries. This formation of a blue pigment occurred in the walls of a number of Zyklon B delousing chambers, were the Nazis are said to have killed only lice. Analyses of sample taken from alleged homicidal gas chambers, however, show no such residues. So what does that mean? Read on…

203: The Value of Testimony and Confessions Concerning the Holocaust

Both numerous former concentration camp inmates as well as many camp guards have testified about the atrocities the evil Nazis perpetrated against millions of victims in their camp system. So how could anyone doubt that what they say is true? Before criticizing what these witnesses say (which, btw, is discordant in many ways), one should first look into the value of these statements. This paper investigates the circumstances under which the various testimonies were made, and based on this tries to evaluate the trustworthiness of those statements, irrespective of their contents.

204: Holocaust Victims: A Statistical Analysis

Six Million Jews fell victim to the Holocaust. So we are told. The only mainstream book dealing with this issue, published in 1991, does indeed confirm this number. But a revisionist book from 1983 contests that figure, claiming a victim count of “merely” 300,000. Both are based on solid statistical material. So how come the results are so different? This paper of mine points out how their numbers differ, why that is so, and what conclusions are to be drawn from this.

301: Lectures on the Holocaust

I consider the Lectures my main work, the current 4th, 2023 edition of which has been greatly improved compared to what the book was back in its first, German edition of 1993. The Lectures strive to give an up-to-date comprehensive overview of revisionist research results on a broad variety of topics within the historical events …

302: The Rudolf Report / The Chemistry of Auschwitz

In 1988, Fred Leuchter, American expert for execution technologies, investigated the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek and concluded that they could not have functioned as claimed. In 1993, Yours Truly, back then a PhD researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, published a thorough forensic study about the “gas chambers” of Auschwitz. In it I tried to iron out the deficiencies Leuchter’s work. This new 2017 edition analyzes a plethora of evidence on the Auschwitz gas chambers and discusses objection made against earlier editions…

303: Auschwitz Lies

Once I had been labeled a “Holocaust Denier,” I was fair game for the liars and obfuscators. Whereas they get all the mainstream support and media attention needed to spread their lies and distortions about me and my research, my corrections and rebuttals remain unheard. They are simply censored by silence. So what is a right to speak out worth, if there is no right to be heard? This book is a collection of papers refuting false claims about my work, and it exposes the flawed arguments of those who tried to refute my research.

304: The Leuchter Reports – Critical Edition

In 1988, Fred A. Leuchter, the American expert for execution technologies, investigated the facilities in the Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek camps claimed to have served as chemical slaughterhouses for hundreds of thousands of victims — also called “gas chambers.” Leuchter changed the course of history when he concluded in his report that the locations investigated “could not have then been, or now, be utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers.” This edition publishes all of Leuchter’s four report and subjects the first of them, which has caused a huge controversy and triggered a landslide of new research, to a thorough critique, backing up Leuchter’s claims with more information and references, where he is right, and correcting him, where he erred.

401: Holocaust Handbooks

This is the ultimate collection of revisionist knowledge on the Holocaust in the English language, comprising 24 volumes so far and counting.

402: List of Publications by Germar Rudolf

This is an (almost) complete list of all the published writings of mine published since I got involved into revisionism, except for those posted on the blog posts and pages of this website. Also included are books I edited or published during my years as an editor and publisher, plus the websites I used to master. As you will see, these writings run the entire gamut of revisionist publications.
