Did prisoners of Muslim faith also fall victim to extermination in Auschwitz? By no means! “The so-called ‘Muselmann’, as the camp language called the inmate who gave himself up and was abandoned by his comrades, no longer had a space of consciousness in which good or evil, noble or common, spiritual or unspiritual could confront…

“How often, when a fire breaks out, do you hear the words: ‘Thank God, now people have something to do again.’ I know a good remedy. You set fire to a city, you set fire to the empire, and everything swims in money and prosperity. Make furniture that you can burn down after three years…

Stéphane Courtois’s Black Book of Communism used to cause quite some headaches among leftists and liberals. To this day, we still don’t really know how to categorize the 100 million deaths of Communism, and whether any clear attribution of blame is appropriate or permissible.

Helmut Schelsky wrote in the 1970s:[1] “The new devil is especially the incomprehensible language destroyer, which dominates by making the people ‘speechless.’ To this phenomenon of group forming and group separating by words belong other linguistic branches of the modern political discourse, like the ‘fecal language,’ as [Kurt] Scheuch called the use of vulgar sexual,…

In discussions of the famous/infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, we often hear reference to the age-old hatred of Jews, which date back at least as far as Haman in the Old Testament Book of Esther.

Between 1996 and 2000, “span-the-gap” articles by various authors have appeared in small German periodicals.[1] These articles attempt to build a bridge between the camp of Holocaust researchers who are objective and reality-oriented in their approach, and the more orthodox researchers who are subjective and perception-oriented.

In The Revisionist, No. 1/2003, we published the first of Ernst Manon's observations on problems relating to Jewish 'memories' of the 'Holocaust' along with observations on the German compulsion to self-accusation. In the present article, Ernst Manon extends and deepens his observations, analyzing tendencies to mistake delusion for reality, which are common among Mosaic fundamentalists….
