Forensic Research

History has three legs to stand on: witness accounts, documents, and, least corruptible, material traces of objects and events. The latter are the focus of forensic research. When it comes to the mass murder of six million civilians in central Europe within the years 1941-1944, one would expect not only a vast amount of material traces of such a butchery, but also, and most certainly, a large amount of field work carried out in order to investigate any such evidence. Yet orthodox scholars never troubled themselves with this kind of fundamental inquiry, at least until revisionists started rocking the boat. Here are listed papers dealing with forensic investigation of the (alleged) traces of the Holocaust.

On May 5, 2018, we downloaded this file from the website dedicated to then-ongoing research in the area of the former Sobibór Camp. It summarizes the results of forensic excavations conducted up to the fall of 2013. The file has since been removed, and the Wayback Machine has no copy of it either. Hence we re-post it on CODOH.

Despite the May 11 conviction of Revisionist activist and publisher Ernst Zündel in Toronto for "knowingly and injuriously spreading a false report," the second trial of Ernst Zündel was a Pyrrhic victory for Holocaust Exterrninationists. As in Zündel’s 1985 trial, Revisionist scholars and researchers presented a mass of new evidence …

Let us now examine the various claims made about the “lids and openings” in the ceilings of the “gas chambers” and compare the allegations with the forensic reality, and with each other. We notice first of all that here, as with other such matters, an evolutionary process is in progress. …

1. Einleitung Bis zur Vorlage des Leuchter-Reports[1] gab es keine naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen größeren Ausmaßes über die 'Gaskammern' von Auschwitz und Majdanek, was in Anbetracht der Bedeutung des Themas erstaunlich ist. Selbst im großen Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozeß Mitte der 60er Jahre wurden ausschließlich historische Sachverständigengutachten eingeholt, und noch nicht einmal die …

As I illustrated with my slide presentation at the 1980 Revisionist Convention at Pomona College, Claremont, California, one of the most blatant examples of Holocaust forgery is in the access to the "gas chambers."

Zyklon B ist der Schreckensbegriff, in dem sich alle über die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus berichteten Greuel symbolisch zusammenfassen lassen. Zyklon B ist für den Großteil der heutigen Menschheit der Inbegriff des industriellen Massenmordes. Über diesen soll hier allerdings nicht diskutiert werden. Es sollen vielmehr nach einer kurzen Darstellung der Entstehungs- …

Dear AnswerMan, Whilst being a firm proponent of the revisionist cause, I am somewhat dubious about the existence of the aerial photographs as proclaimed on revisionist sites, for the same reasons I doubt the gas chambers, namely, that I have not seen any good series of aerial photographs of the …

Editor's introduction Nowhere has the impact of the 1988 Leuchter Report been greater than in Germany, and understandably so. As one young German recently noted, if Holocaust Revisionism wins widespread acceptance there, the impact will be felt not merely in the intellectual world; many people who currently hold positions of …

Introduction 1988 was a very informative and likewise disturbing year. I was appalled to learn that much of what I was taught in school about twentieth-century history and World War II was a myth, if not a lie. I was first amazed; then annoyed; then aware: the myth of the …

Three main chemical investigations have been performed concerning residual cyanide in the walls of alleged ‘gas chambers’ at Auschwitz: by Leuchter, Rudolf and by Markiewicz. Over the two decades since Leuchter first sampled, debates have raged concerning where the samples were taken from, whether it was really ‘historic’ brickwork, how …

In early 1988, American execution hardware expert Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., carried out the first-ever forensic investigation of the alleged extermination gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek.

Introduction In the following brief article, I will discuss the ground water level at the alleged extermination camp Sobibór during its period of operation, that is between early summer 1942 and autumn 1943, and to what insights gleaned from witness statements, as well as geographical and topographical data implies …
