Employee Mutiny at Publishers’ Graphics

Threatened by Staff with Strike, Printing Company Forced to Ditch Castle Hill

By Germar Rudolf ∙ June 16, 2023

In April of this year, the owner of Publishers’ Graphics (PG), a book-printing company headquartered near Chicago, informed us that they will no longer print our books.

We had used the services of this company, on and off, ever since we started producing our books using print-on-demand technology, meaning since 2002. We never had any issues with them. When we first got boarded with them, their management was very forthcoming with us, saying that they understand what type of material we produce- However, after reviewing it carefully, they decided that there is, objectively speaking, nothing wrong about our material, and that they would uphold the ideal of free speech by agreeing to print our books.

The first crack in the veneer showed in the summer for 2022, just after we had completely switched over to PG from Ingram, since the latter had banned us completely. In earlier years, PG’s partner in the UK, Print-on-Demand Worldwide (PoDWW, now also doing business as Bookvault), would print our books in that country, with no additional setup fees, so we could have order fulfillment centers both in the US and the UK. This time, however, after some beating around the bush, PG’s manager confessed that PoDWW had flat-out refused to produce any of our books.

Now PG itself bailed out as well. When we asked why the sudden change of mind, the owner confessed that they had a mutiny of their staff. One of their employes had gotten curious about one of my books – Moral Turpitude, probably because of the sexy lady depicted on the cover – and had started reading it. The book itself or its cover were not an issue. But then, this employee looked me up on the internet, and the typical disinformation he found about me online made him rile up the entire staff, which subsequently threatened to go on a strike, if PG’s management did not take all of Castle Hill Publishers’ books offline.

The owner apologized to us for this, saying that, if he could, he would keep us boarded, but since the very existence of the company was on the line now, he had no other choice but to cut ties. He praised us for the quality and attractiveness of our cover artwork, allowed us to restock on a few items that had gotten low, but then said that this would be it.

In the meantime, Castle Hill’s new manager decided to cut costs by taking offline all hardcover books, and he even strongly suggested we stop offering the books of the series Holocaust Handbooks as free eBook downloads on the website www.HolocaustHandbooks.com.

For now, since I have control over domain name and site, I have refused to comply, and here is why: Holocaust revisionism faces censorship on every level of society. It has gotten so bad that many individuals interested to find out what our arguments are, are afraid to identify themselves in any way by putting down their contact and financial information when purchasing our products. If they cannot download our books free of charge and without being tracked, they simply won’t touch it. I have had many persons say so much over the past two decades: had it not been for this free resource, they never would have touched it.

Therefore, in order to avoid under any circumstances to erect yet another obstacle keeping people away from our books – in addition to all those already put in place by society at large – I will NOT demand people to identify and pay for the core of our products, the Holocaust Handbooks. Not as long as I can help it. I’d rather starve to death than ask for money. Those who can and want to give are invited to donate, even with crypto currency (Monero), if privacy is pivotal. But I will not make it a requirement.

However, I am not in charge of CODOH and/or Castle Hill at this moment, so I don’t have the ultimate say.

Hence, take advantage of this generous offer as long as it’s free of charge!

And now, sit back, fasten the seat belts, and wait for the next censorship attack to get us into even deeper trouble…

  • 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 Upstate New York.
