Germar Rudolf’s Presentation at Return to the Land, Arkansas

By Germar Rudolf ∙ November 12, 2025

On October 25, 2025, Germar Rudolf gave a presentation to the gathered folks of the Arkansas chapter of the European settlement movement “Return to the Land.” This group had organized an entire weekend of activities both for settlers and non-settled members, as well as for outsiders who past their vetting process. Germar received a late invitation to speak at their meeting, and he gladly accepted. The setting was rugged, with most folks spending the nights in a tent. Or at least that was the plan, until the rainy weather made some reconsider that approach. Germar’s presentation, given during pouring rain beneath an open pavilion with little technical means, also shows signs of improvisation. A 15-minute Q&A session following Germar’s presentation was cut out from the following recording made available to us:

  • 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.
