Goodbye Castle Hill, Welcome Castlehill

By Germar Rudolf ∙ May 12, 2022

The total censorship war that I wrote about in the editorial to the previous issue has forced us to completely rethink how, or rather from where Castle Hill Publishers operates. Since business has become pretty much impossible for Caste Hill in the UK, with Brexit making exports to EU countries borderline impossible and banking being canceled, we decided it is time to pack up and leave the country where Castle Hill Publishers was established in 1998.

Caste Hill Publishers was officially sold by its UK owner (identity undisclosed) to CODOH on April 8, 2022, and CODOH reorganized it as a single-member, non-neglected limited liability company as “Castlehill Publishing LLC.” By some fluke, the person on CODOH’s board who created this LLC did not pay very close attention to the company’s original name, so now we’re stuck with a name that’s only similar to what we used to have. However, we have decided to keep using the old name Castle Hill Publishers as our book imprint anyway. There’s no need to confuse people.

Castle Hill’s office cum warehouse is now in Dallastown, PA, just a few miles from where I live. Since Ingram won’t print and ship our books anymore, we’ve contracted with another printer. Although our new printing partner does order fulfillment as well, we’ve decided against putting all our eggs into one basket. Hence, we let them print the books, but ship them in bulk to us, and we then pick, pack and ship each order ourselves. This way, if that printer bails out, we simply switch to another one, hopefully without any major disruption. To fill our bookshelves with sufficient inventory for half a year, we had to spend some $15K, but the money was there, so we’re good.

This new setup will make us more flexible as to what we can offer. We can now stock audio books on CD, we can add promotional material to our orders, and we can resell the books published by third parties. So, if we do it right, we can come out of this winning – at least for the U.S. market.

As Brian once said: “Always look on the bright side of life!”

  • 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.

    Most of us understand that it is unwise to draw a connection between the Israeli/Palestinian tragedy, 9/11, Afghanistan, and the U.S. administration's war against Iraq. The common understanding is that to suggest such a connection publicly, and in many contexts privately, is to risk being condemned as an anti-Semite. This fear is perfectly well founded….
