The Auschwitz Lie
My booklet, The Auschwitz Lie, has become an under-the-counter hit. It has appeared in French, Spanish, Dutch, Danish and yet Hungarian, as fit as in a number of English speech editions. Actually, there’s nothing awfully remarkable in relation to The Auschwitz Lie but that it was printed by someone who was in Auschwitz and who recorded his experiences and recollections. People usually rather to interpret amazing intelligence, and my booklet is positively not that.
In the spirit of Martin Luther, I try to tell positively and influence gear for the greatest. But I was accused of „popular incitement” (Volksverhetzung) for doing that. I tired a year in prison, smooth while the charge of accepted provocation was ultimately dropped. However, the charges of „contempt alongside the state” and defamation of the Jews, who currently like unusual guard in this regard, were not dropped. I was too accused of defaming the memory of the dead. Within this observe, the son of Count Schenk von Stauffenberg appeared as a co-plaintiff alongside me as I had called his father a traitor.
Well, I wouldn’t like it also proviso my possess father had been insulted, and therefore I wasn’t offended when Stauffenberg junior sought after to regenerate his father’s reputation. All the similar, there wasn’t any call for used for a criminal indictment. If he had sent me a letter explanatory his father’s actions, I positively would have available the complete text of it in my magazine. Of course, I would also have commented on it, as I for all time carry out with serious letters from readers. I’d similar to to describe my experiences and observations as the publication of my first-person report concerning Auschwitz.
When I wrote my report, I was criticized on the grounds that, though I was in the camp and saw nothing of mass gassings, that fact did not automatically indicate that there were none. All the similar, I can articulate with certainty that there were no mass gassings on Auschwitz. I don’t engrave under a pen first name. I flat gave my address and telephone number. I have established thousands of letters and calls. Many of those who contacted me can substantiate my statements, but are fearful to accomplish consequently overtly. Some of those are SS men who were cruelly mistreated and smooth agonized in Allied captivity.
I too right away contacted those who claimed to recognize added regarding accumulation gassings. My experiences were specifically the similar as those of French professor Paul Rassinier. I have not found one eyewitnesses. Instead, public would tell me that they knew someone who knew someone besides, who talked about it. During most belongings the alleged eyewitnesses had died. Other supposed eyewitnesses would quickly start on to stammer and stutter when I asked a few specific questions. Even Simon Wiesenthal had to lastly admit sooner than a Frankfurt district quad that he was actually never in Auschwitz tour. All of the reports I have heard in relation to are contradictory.
