Germany has been, since World War II, an occupied nation. No peace treaty has ever been signed, occupying armies still remain there—and Germany continues to function under a foreign constitution, prepared by the victors of WW2.[1] It owns a massive amount of gold, three and a half thousand tons of it, more than any country…

New Zealand is not exactly the counrty that causes headlines in the world's media, nor is it a place where one would expect infringements on civil rights of academics. But this is exactly what happened during the past couple of years. In the early 1990s, two young historians had written their master's theses on controversial…

Jahrhunderts, edited by Ernst Gauss and published in 1994 by Grabert-Verlag in Tübingen, Germany. The foremost issue was to be the question of the work’s scientific, i.e., academic…

The original German edition of this handbook is illegal in the Federal Republic of Germany and police not only raided the publisher, printer, editor, distributors, wholesalers, and multi-copy-purchasers, but burned the confiscated copies of an initial run of some 17,500 and attempted to arrest the editor Ernst Gauss, i.e., Germar Rudolf: “It is ordered […]…

An updated version of this paper is available at Germar Rudolf's Blog. Prologue In German history, censorship unfortunately has been more of a rule than an exception. It was introduced by the Catholic Church in the form of the Inquisition. However, it was left to the well-known Austrian statesman Metternich to perfect the system of…
