Background In one of Ingrid Rimland's recent "Revisionist Week In Review" Z-grams she noted: There is interesting revisionist news from Russia. Revisionist historian Jurgen Graf was recently in Moscow and gave an interview with the Russian weekly Russky Vestnik. This interview was just published, and an English translation can be …

Jürgen Grafs Artikel »Was geschah mit den nach Auschwitz deportierten, jedoch dort nicht registrierten Juden?«[1] sowie die von Arthur Butz unter dem Titel »Was widerfuhr den ungarischen Juden? Eine Antwort an Jürgen Graf«[2] darauf verfaßte Entgegnung hat im revisionistischen Lager die Diskussion über die heikle Frage der Judendeportationen aus Ungarn von Mai bis Juli 1944 neu entfacht. Mit diesem Thema haben sich dann auch Richard A. Widmann[3] und Samuel Crowell[4] auseinandergesetzt.

Die von mir im Verlauf der letzten Jahre erworbenen, den Spezialisten noch unbekannten Dokumente sowie die Neuinterpretation bereits bekannter Urkunden im Lichte der neuen Dokumentenfunde ermöglichen es mir nun, eine provisorische Bilanz der Frage zu erstellen, die fraglos den Ausgangspunkt für künftige, weitergehende Studien bilden dürfte.

It is well known that several witnesses from Auschwitz describe cremation pits equipped with a system for the recovery of human fat flowing down off the human bodies into appropriate fat recovery pits or ditches from which it was drawn off by means of buckets and thrown back on the …

An exhaustive technical study of cremation technology in general and of the cremation furnaces used at Auschwitz and Birkenau in particular. Next to the alleged "gas chambers," these furnaces are claimed to have been the main "weapon of crime" said to have destroyed the traces of up to a million murdered individuals. On a sound and thoroughly documented base of technical literature, extant wartime documents and material traces, Mattogno reveals the true hygienic function, i.e. the benign nature of the cremation furnaces of Auschwitz… 

Neither increased media propaganda or political pressure nor judicial persecution can stifle revisionism. Hence, in early 2011, the Holocaust Orthodoxy has published a 400 pp. book (in German) claiming to refute "revisionist propaganda." Mattogno shows with his detailed analysis of this work of propaganda that mainstream Holocaust hagiography is beating around the bush rather than addressing revisionist research results. He exposes their myths, distortions and lies. This book debunks basically every single gas chamber claim made for any of the German war time camps… 

The Auschwitz Camp had sickbays and hospitals where thousands of inmates were cured. Since late 1942, the camp authorities, foremost the garrison physician Dr. Wirths, tried with all conceivable means to keep the Auschwitz inmates alive and healthy. This book is full of irrefutable documentary evidence for that... 

The Auschwitz Museum is a mendacious organization, lying about the true nature of the Auschwitz camp both to millions of tourists – most egregious with manipulations to its main exhibit, the 'Old Krematorium' in the Auschwitz Main Camp – and to serious scholars – by way of obfuscating the true nature and meaning of documents in its archives. Here is the proof… 

1) The empty arguments of Father Patrick Desbois Father Patrick Desbois, an ardent champion of Judeo-Christian "friendship" and Chairman of the Yahad-In Unum Association, has acquired a certain notoriety in recent years due to his search for the mass graves of Jews murdered by the Einsatzgruppen in the Ukraine and …

Franco Deana. Over the last 15 years, my historical as well …

Regarding "Le macchine dello sterminio Auschwitz 1941-1945"; the Italian book purporting to be a translation of the original French book by Jean-Claude Pressac, "Les Crematoires d'Auschwitz: La machinerie du meuertre de masse." 1. The New Thesis of Jean-Claude Pressac In the section headed The Extermination of Hungarian Jews in our …

Introduction In 1989, Prof. Faurisson's challenge[1] to offer him one single tangible proof for the existence of National Socialist homicidal gas chambers – beyond untrustworthy 'eyewitness' testimonies – resulted in an emphatic response by French scholar Jean-Claude Pressac. In a massive work he presented "39 criminal traces" for the …

On the Holocaust Controversies[1] blog website, an article by a certain Roberto Muehlenkamp has appeared that attempts to refute, in part, the American edition of my study on the Bełżec camp[2], in particular Chapter IV entitled “Bełżec in Polish Archeological Research (1997 to 1999)”. This chapter contains …

1) L'interpretazione di Jean-Claude Pressac. Lo studio di un documento può portare a conclusioni storicamente certe soltanto a condizione che esso venga ricollocato nel suo contesto, non solo storico, ma anche documentario, burocratico ed eventualmente tecnico. Una insufficiente conoscenza del contesto o un'errata contestualizzazione portano inevitabilmente al travisamento del significato …

Al professor Robert Faurisson spetta il merito incontestabile di essere stato il primo ricercatore che abbia impostato sul piano tecnico lo studio del problema delle presunte camere a gas omicide con particolare riferimento al campo di Auschwitz-Birkenau. Rilevando che nessun tribunale,durante gli innumerevoli processi contro i cosiddetti " criminali di …

Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, by Deborah E. Lipstadt, A Plume Book, New York 1994. 1. Cum studio et ira In the whole panorama of antirevisionist propaganda, it would be hard to find a book more vile than Denying the Holocaust by Deborah Lipstadt.[1] …

My first revisionist writings appeared in 1985. A few years later, I made an initial contact with the Institute of Historical Review. Russell was a most very ardent supporter of the IHR at that time. He was of Italian descent, but considering the anti-Italian atmosphere prevailing in the U.S. at …

When American expert for execution techniques Fredrick A. Leuchter presented his famous expert report on the gas chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek to a Canadian court in 1988, he initially caused confusion: in his technical drawings of the morgues no. 1 of the crematoria II and III of Auschwitz-Birkenau, which …

1. Transformations of Crematorium I (1944 – 1947) During a visit to Auschwitz on July 16, 1944, SS-Obergruppenführer Pohl approved the “Installation of a gas-tight surgery and fragment-proof shelter in the former crematorium for the garrison surgeon”,[1] which became work-site BW 98M. On August 26, 1944, SS Obersturmführer Heinrich …

1. Analysis of a Forensic Investigation 1.1. Introduction In the spring of 2004, Daniel Keren, Jamie McCarthy, and Harry W.

Auschwitz is synonymous for "The Holocaust," the murder of six million Jews. At Auschwitz, most of the Jews murdered are said to have been poisoned with Zyklon B. This product, consisting of liquid hydrogen cyanide absorbed in gypsum granules, is said to have been poured in by SS men through …

In 1994, Prof. Dr. Michael Shermer made his first attempt to refute the arguments of Holocaust revisionism with an article “Proving the Holocaust” published in his Skeptic magazine (vol. 2, no. 4, pp. 32-57). Two years later, Shermer accepted an invitation by the Institute for Historical Review to have a …

Holocaust survivors report that at least 700,000, and perhaps as many as three million, people primarily of Jewish faith were murdered in the Treblinka camp, located in eastern Poland, between the summers of 1942 and 1943. Various murder weapons are claimed to have been used: mobile or stationary gas chambers; …

Im Mai 2009 wurde der 89-jährige John Demjanjuk aus den USA nach Deutschland abgeschoben, wo er verhaftet und angeklagt wurde, in mindestens 27.900 Fällen Beihilfe zum Mord geleistet zu haben. Diese Morde sollen angeblich im Lager Sobibór im Osten Polens begangen worden sein. Laut orthodoxer Geschichtsschreibung sollen dort vom Mai …

“Show me or draw me a Nazi gas chamber!” This has been Dr. Robert Faurisson’s famous challenge to orthodox historians for several decades now. Jean-Claude Pressac and Prof. Robert J. van Pelt were among those who tried to meet Faurisson’s demand – and who failed miserably. That doesn’t stop other …

1. Installation of Familienlager BIIb and the Alleged Homicidal Gassings. On September 6, 1943, two transports of 2,479 and 2,528 Jews, altogether 5,007 persons, left the Theresienstadt ghetto for Auschwitz.[1] At Birkenau, on September 8, 5,006 persons arrived:[2] 2,293 men and boys, registered under ID numbers 146,694 – …

Although scientifically untenable, it passed for a long time, in public thought, as an irrevocable truth that four million prisoners perished in the concentration camp Auschwitz.[1] When Fritjof Meyer, a leading editor of Germany's biggest news magazine Der Spiegel reduced the death toll of Auschwitz to a new record …

In spring and summer of 1944, 400,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz and allegedly murdered there in gas chambers. The Auschwitz crematoria are said to have been unable to cope with so many corpses. Therefore, every single day thousands of corpses are claimed to have been incinerated on huge …

Untruths and propaganda abound when it comes to the WWII German labor camp near the Polish town Auschwitz. Here are just a few: French biochemist G.Wellers claimed he exposed The Leuchter Report as fallacious, but in truth he exposed only his own grotesque incompetence; Polish researcher Prof. J. Markiewicz said …

In May 2009, the 89-year-old John Demjanjuk was deported from the United States to Germany, where he was arrested and charged with aiding and abetting murder in at least 27,900 cases.

Mainstream historians claim that the very first gassing of 850 human beings at Auschwitz occurred on Sept. 3, 1941, in the basement of building no. 11 of the Auschwitz main camp. It is supposed to have lasted 15 hours, followed by another two days of ventilation and removal of the …
