History at Gunpoint

How Oppressive "Political Correctness" Has Corrupted Holocaust Studies

By Germar Rudolf ∙ June 7, 2026

In early spring of 2026, a CODOH staff member stumbled over the announcement of an upcoming event of the “National Organization for Vital Action” (NOVA, www.novanow.org). It was suggested to me to inquire with this organization whether they would have me as a speaker during their event. After a rather sophisticated vetting procedure, it was agreed that I would actually give two presentation: The first in the afternoon of May 23, 2026, was to introduce Holocaust skepticism to the audience. The second presentation would take place during a social gathering in the evening of that same day, and would address the reasons, prospects and remedies to the ongoing demographic collapse of the human race.

While the second presentation was not recorded, the first one was, and a copy of it was made accessible to me a few days ago. Since the poster boards I had used to illustrate my presentation was not captured by the camera, I edited the footage by adding the original artwork. The first part of my speech focuses on persecution by Western societies of historians in general and historical dissidents on the Holocaust in particular. The second part gives a concise overview of radical mainstream revisions to the Holocaust narrative, and how the gas-chamber story was rigged after the war.

After my presentation, and off camera, I was asked whether my presentation is available as a document, such as a book, a brochure and/or a video. Neither was the case on May 23. Heeding the suggestion to offer this in all of these forms as educational material, I sat down and produced this video, plus a 24-page brochure with the same title. You can download the video for free sharing right here, while the brochure, as a PDF file, is posted at the end of this post, both for reading it right here and for downloading. I will eventually expand this brochure to a full-size book, but this will take a few months.

  • 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 (see 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 a revisionist publishing outlet. 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. granted him an immigrant visa based on his marriage, but seconds later arrested and subsequently deported him back to Germany in crass violation of U.S. law. In Germany, where he was put in prison for 44 months for his scholarly writings, some of which he had published in the U.S., where they are perfectly legal. Since not a criminal under U.S. law, he managed to immigrate permanently to the U.S. in 2011. Rudolf has published more than 90 books (currently available through Armreg US and Armreg UK), among them the 54 volumes of the Holocaust Handbooks. He has compiled 9 documentaries and authored 20 non-fiction books, among them the bestselling Holocaust Encyclopedia. With a brief interruption, he has managed the free-speech organization Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust since 2014, where we defend free speech at the forefront of corporate censorship and governmental persecution. In 2017, he became chief editor of CODOH’s quarterly periodical Inconvenient History. In early 2025, he launched the Holocaust Academy, dedicated to bringing critical thinking to Holocaust education. In that context, he organized the 2026 Holocaust Summit, dedicated to “Tackling the Most-Harmful Ideology Undermining Peace, Truth and Freedom Worldwide”.
