Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist, which is comparable to a U.S. PhD degree. From 1990-1993 he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz, The Rudolf Report (now titled The Chemistry of Auschwitz). He conclude in it that "the alleged facilities for mass extermination at Auschwitz and Birkenau were not suited for the purpose as claimed." As a result he had to endure severe measures of persecution in subsequent years. Hence he went into British exile, where he started the small revisionist outlet Castle Hill Publishers. When Germany asked Britain to extradite Rudolf in 1999, he fled to the U.S.. There he applied for political asylum, expanded his publishing activities, and in 2004 married a U.S. citizen. In 2005, the U.S. recognized Rudolf's marriage as valid and seconds later arrested and subsequently deported him back to Germany, where he was put in prison for 44 months for his scholarly writings. Some of the writings he got punished for had been published while Rudolf resided in the U.S., where his activities were and are perfectly legal. Since not a criminal under U.S. law, he managed to immigrate permanently to the U.S. in 2011, where he rejoined his U.S. citizen wife and daughter. He currently resides in Texas.

In early 2016, the Kindle version of a book by two New Zealand authors – James and Lance Morcan – was launched which claimed to refute revisionist theories on the Holocaust. Italian revisionist scholar Carlo Mattogno promptly debunked this primitive “refutation” with a scathing book-length critique, which Castle Hill was happy to publish.[1] By pure…

Back in 2001, German mainstream organizations were raising funds for a huge Holocaust Memorial to be erected in Berlin. They kicked off their fund-raiser campaign with huge billboards plastered all over Germany stating in large letters: “The Holocaust never happened” – and then in small print underneath, unreadably small for people driving by: “There are…

For the past several years, CODOH and Castle Hill Publishers have been intertwined both financially and with their web presence. Back in the summer of 2013, Castle Hill, back then still hosted with an online store at www.vho.org, lost its ability to accept credit-card payments in the UK, mainly due to the interference of New…

For the fourth issue of last year’s Inconvenient History, a Greek revisionist submitted four papers, all of them reviews of various books, although one was a mere brief scrutiny of false claimed made by one author (Lawrence Rees). It was the very first time that we heard or rather read anything from Panagiotis Heliotis, a…

A picture tells more than a thousand words, and moving pictures tell more than a million words, one might add. The power of movies – both of the fiction and non-fiction genre – to convince the gullible as well as many skeptical minds can hardly be underestimated. This is particularly true in our times of reduced…

As reported in last issue’s editorial, the situation at CODOH and Castle Hill had become critical, after one of CODOH’s board members, Michael Santomauro, until mid-December 2023 manager of Castle Hill, had seized all of Castle Hill’s company assets, and had taken exclusive control of domain-name and hosting accounts, using this as “leverage” (his word)…

Canada’s parliament is currently discussing a law introduced by the “progressive” Trudeau administration to curtail speech harmful to minors and so-called hate speech.

But hold your horses! We’ve only just begun the recovery process from the most-destructive event Holocaust revisionism has ever suffered. Here are the things we still have to work on for quite some time to come: So far, we have recovered only the English-language material. This encompasses a little more than 50% of the original…

The worst attacks Holocaust revisionism has ever suffered always came from within: The in-fighting between the Institute for Historical Review and Willis Carto (the founder and main financier of the IHR) starting in the mid-1993. This had been triggered by a 7+million-dollar bequest of the Farrel Estate to the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc. (the IHR’s umbrella organization). The resulting legal battle squandered these millions mostly with legal fees, and destroyed the IHR as a viable organization. Next came the extortion attempts by Michael Santomauro in late 2023/early 2024, who, as a board member of CODOH, gained control of almost all of CODOH’s essential assets, and then abused that “leverage” to blackmail CODOH for huge sums of money.

Dramatic events are unfolding with Castle Hill and CODOH as I write this. Without going into too many details, I may pick up where I left off with my last editorial about Castle Hill’s payment processor bailing out. In the meantime, trying to implement Plan B also failed. When our Plan B, CODOH’s current payment…
