Holocaust Survivor Finds “Exterminated” Brother through Appearance with Revisionists on the Montel Williams Show

For fifty years, Holocaust survivors Ernest Hollander and his brother Alex thought that their older brother, Zoltan, had been executed by the Germans in 1944. And for half a century, Zoltan thought that both his two brothers had been killed by the Germans during the war. But thanks to Ernest Hollander's appearance with Revisionists Mark Weber and David Cole last April on the Montel Williams Show, the long-lost brothers were reunited in San Francisco in late October.
David Cole and Mark Weber on the Montel Williams "60 Minutes" Show in April 1992.
Along with Weber and Cole, Ernest Hollander, 67, appeared with his wife, Anna (a survivor of Auschwitz), and another Jewish Holocaust survivor, Dr. Michael Thaler, on the nationally syndicated Montel Williams Show, which was broadcast April 30 on about 60 television stations around the country. (For more on this broadcast, see the IHR Newsletter, May 1992, p. 3, and October 1992, p. 4.)
A few years after the war, Ernest had been told by a fri that he had personally witnessed Zoltan's execution in 1944 by German soldiers, who supposedly hanged him from a tree. But a migrant from Serbia who lives in Brooklyn, and who happened to be watching the broadcast, instantly recognized Ernest on the screen as the "spitting image" of a fri he had known in Serbia, Zoltan "Hershe" Hollander.
According to Ernest, his brother fought against the Germans until the of the war, but the Soviets thought he was a pro-German spy and sent him to Siberia for ten years, where he worked on roads and in factories. "You can use the worst word in the dictionary to describe what the Russians did to him," says Ernest.
After he was finally released by the Soviets and returned home, Yugoslav authorities – Ernest says – accused Zoltan of having been a Soviet spy, and mistreated him.
While Ernest Hollander and his relatives living here in the United States believed for fifty years that Zoltan had perished as yet another "victim of the Holocaust," Zoltan, for his part, believed for half a century that his entire family had perished in the war. He did not know that his two brothers – Ernest and Alex – were living in northern California, or that he had scores of relatives in the United States, Canada and Britain, including ten living in the United States whom he believed had perished in the Holocaust.

"This man has come back from the dead. We thought he had been dead for fifty years," Ernest says of his brother. "I found a brother, but he found two brothers, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews – a city of people," adds Ernest, who calls their reunion "the greatest miracle since Moses cros-sed the sea."
Williams appropriately called the session with Weber and Cole "a celebration of truth."
In a front-page report on this happy reunion, the Northern California Jewish Bulletin (Oct. 16) commented that the Hollander family "will in a sense get to rewrite their history – a painful irony given that the topic of the show on which Ernest appeared was Holocaust revisionism."
A special session of the Montel Williams Show featuring the reunited Hollander brothers was broadcast on November 17. On that occasion, host Williams reported that he had been deluged with complaints about the April broadcast with Weber and Cole, including threats of law suits by Jewish organizations for daring to permit the two Revisionists to appear.
Although Ernest ungratefully refers to Weber and Cole as "bums," it is ironic that if it had not been for the willingness of these Revisionists to re-examine supposedly undebatable "truth," this "miraculous" reunion would not have taken place. As we go to press, Weber and Cole have received no expression of appreciation from any Hollander family member for their role in bringing together the long-lost brothers.
Mark Weber was born in 1951 in Portland, Oregon, where he was also raised. He studied history at the University of Illinois (Chicago), the University of Munich (Germany), and Portland State University, from where he received a bachelor's degree in history (with high honors). He then did graduate work in history at Indiana University (Bloomington), where he served as a history instructor and received a Master's degree in European history. Since 1995 Weber has been director of the Institute for Historical Review, which until the early 2000s was a leading revisionist history educational center and publisher based in southern California. For nine years he was editor of the IHR's former Journal of Historical Review. He is the author of many articles, reviews and essays dealing with historical, political and social issues, which have appeared in a variety of periodicals, and in a range of languages. In 1988 he testified during the second Zündel trial in Toronto as a recognized expert witness on Germany's wartime Jewish policy and the Holocaust issue. When the IHR ceased publishing new revisionist material in 2002, Weber redirected his focused on being a guest on numerous radio talk shows.
Mark Weber, currently director of the Institute for Historical Review, explains his getting involved into Holocaust revisionism, and what he thinks of it now.
This young Jewish Revisionist filmmaker came to the defense of Ernst Zündel when Zündel needed defending. Subsequently, Zündel and Cole made a film in Auschwitz, with David Cole pointing out all the things wrong with that theme park of hate against Germans. Later yet, Cole came to Canada to lecture to large audiences on his Revisionist findings in Auschwitz, together with David Irving. He also appeared with Zündel in Munich, Germany, spreading Revisionism right under the watchful eyes of the German political police. In a vicious letter posted on the Internet, the Jewish Defense League threatened Cole's life. Emotionally fragile and torn between his conscience and family loyalties as well as filial devotion, he could not withstand the pressure and recanted with an abject apology to his tribesmen and tormentors. Every serious Revisionist understands that this act of recantation was coerced and may have bought David his very survival.

This video from the 1990's is only memorabilia of what used to be able to be discussed on mainstream media. David Cole and Mark Weber appear on the Montel Williams Show to debate certain issues and various interesting unaddressed questions relating to the claims made about the Holocaust.
In 1994, two gas chamber deniers, Bradley Smith and David Cole, went on a talk show. Dean Irebodd, the maker of One Third Of The Holocaust, points out witnesses lies, like where everyone (including a famous sceptic) believes an obviously fraudulent phone caller.
An interview with a Jew who questioned the Holocaust and was beat up by Jews for doing so! Why is Holocaust revision the only form of historical study that can get you imprisoned if you don't admit you're insane?
Ernst Zundel explores Auschwitz with David Cole. They start out their tour from the front of the Auschwitz brothel, visit the swimming pool next to the prisoner barracks, examine the "wall of death" and alleged "gas chamber" and conclude at the memorial monument.

In this 54 minute clip, the revisionist, David Cole answers questions from viewers of his previous clips. Those who rebut the “gas chambers” lie, come from all races and ethnic groups, although they are regularly portrayed as “Neo-Nazis”. David Cole, being Jewish (one among many) gives the lie to the Zionist claim that revisionists are simply right wing individuals in “denial”.
David Cole, a Jew who questions the "Holocau$t" propaganda lie answers another unusual question. Here he talks about bones. David says that if bones couldn't burn then India would be full of bones. Bodies are cremated and then the remains are crushed or pulverised.
