Ernst Zündel - The Man, His Deeds & His Writings

By Robert Faurisson

THESE lines are not addressed to those who already know Ernst Zündel -
the man, his deeds and his writings - but to the Canadians who know
only what the mass media, taken together, have chosen to report about
him. It may be feared that those Canadians have been led to misjudge
Zündel and, perhaps, hate him.

To those people, who, in my view, are mistaken, I should say: examine
with care the image of this man that most of the media in your country
try to give you, whilst practically never letting you hear his voice.
Use your discernment.

To start, be on your guard against the repetitive, hollow and vague
nature of the accusations brought against him. Do not let yourselves
be taken in by the obsessive use of words like "Nazi" or
"anti-Semite". These terms are used against him as easily and
mechanically as stock insults. They are not born of any attempt at
analysis.

Actually, the use of these terms is based on the writings of Zundel
himself. For example, " The Hitler We Loved and Why", a love letter to
Hitler, which contains the lines:

"We loved him because he brought us Europeans together. With him, we knew
our strength and felt the awesome importance of our Racial Mission as
never before. He brought all of us together, even Americans, Russians and
Britons. White men from all the countries of Europe joined his ranks to
defend the Holy Swastika Banner of our Race. Because we fought to the end,
the destruction of White Civilization was avoided. Our sacrifice was not
in vain!
[...]
He was adored like no other mortal, before or since. "

Ernst Zündel - The Man, His Deeds & His Writings

To those people, who, in my view, are mistaken, I should say: examine
with care the image of this man that most of the media in your country

Use your discernment.

To start, be on your guard against the repetitive, hollow and vague
nature of the accusations brought against him. Do not let yourselves
be taken in by the obsessive use of words like "Nazi" or
"anti-Semite". These terms are used against him as easily and
mechanically as stock insults. They are not born of any attempt at
analysis.

Zündel in LondonQuite the contrary: it is people who want to spare
themselves just such an effort who resort to them. These words are
employed to kill those to whom they are applied or, at the very least,
to gag or send them to prison. Most often they are vituperations let
fly to vent spleen. Uttering them is somewhat like spitting, and
spitting has never been an argument.


Ask yourselves whether Zündel, rather than the monster described for
you, may not quite simply be a man attached to his country of origin,
Germany, whose desire is to defend his homeland against horrific
slanders.

If you hear it said that he "denies the Holocaust of the Jews",
reflect once again.

* Has he really asserted that, during the Second World War, the
Jews did not suffer? The answer is "No".
* Has he actually maintained that Germany had no anti-Jewish
policy then? The answer again is "No".
* Has he seriously claimed that Jews were not deported to
concentration camps or labour camps? The answer is yet again "No".
* Has he advocated racial discrimination, or can there be found in
his past any sign of racist behaviour towards those with whom he has
had contact as, for instance, their employer? Still once more the
answer is "No".

But then, if I am right and if I take it upon myself to tell you that
Zündel has never held the ideas falsely ascribed to him, how is it
that the mass media, in unison, have hidden this fact from you? Ask
yourselves. And try to find the answer.

I SHALL briefly tell you what Zündel has thought and written in the
past and what he continues to think today in the prisons where, for
over a two years, he has been held like the most dangerous of
criminals.

Like me and a fair number of other revisionists, he challenges, on the
strength of solid arguments, documents and forensic reports, the core
of what the Jews call their "Holocaust" or "Shoah".

* Upon the conclusion of his research, he found that Adolf Hitler
had indeed sought a final solution to the eternal Jewish question but,
as is spelled out in plain writing in the relevant documents, a
"territorial final solution".
* He also found that an extermination of the Jews had never been
contemplated, much less undertaken, but rather, as had often happened
in the history of certain countries, a transfer of the Jews out of
Europe: the "territorial final solution was to have been the Jews'
resettlement in an autonomous territory of their own outside of
Europe, anywhere except Palestine.

As for the rest of Zündel's findings I shall, the better to make
myself understood, draw your attention to current events and the war
in Iraq. You have heard that Saddam Hussein possessed "weapons of mass
destruction". You know that such talk is a cold lie and that this lie
made possible a military butchery, a crusade of "Good against Evil."

War has always been hand in glove with propaganda, in all times and
places. Still, to take but this one example amongst thousands of
others, in the recent century, during the 1930s and 1940s, a frenzied
propaganda was built up, especially in the great democracies of the
West and the Soviet Union, against the Axis powers ("the axis of
Evil", in a sense) and, especially, against Germany.

The Allies thereby stirred their own soldiers to warlike ardour and,
after the vast butchery, justified their own war and their own war
crimes by heaping gruesome accusations on Germany. It was claimed, in
particular, that Hitler had ordered the building of weapons of mass
destruction and used those weapons to kill the Jews in a methodical
manner and in industrial proportions.

In fact, no trace of any such order has ever been found, Zündel in
courtnor any trace of the satanic weapons called "[execution] gas
chambers" or "[execution] gas vans", and all the alleged "testimonies"
of the existence and operation of such chemical slaughterhouses have
shown themselves to be fraudulent.

This is what so soundly struck Zündel. This is what he, ever since,
has wanted to bring to the eyes of the world. It is this staggering
discovery of colossal deceit that has led him to fight as he has done
and as he will do till his dying breath. It is for this, and solely
for this, that he is now being killed by inches.



WE HAVE all been told that the rarest of virtues is the courage to
fight for what one believes is true: the maxim is taught in the
schools and universities, in the works of great literature and in
picture books. It is a virtue much admired in certain men and women of
the past. But when, suddenly, the living example of such courage
appears in present reality, too often people fail to recognise it.
They neglect it, or are mistaken about it.

Zündel in court, 1003Trusting in appearances, they lend a willing ear
to the rumours circulating with regard to the extraordinary person
and, one fine day, unawares, find themselves in the camp of the
slanderers. Having believed they had a great love of justice, they
show themselves ready to uphold Lynch law in the face of this nuisance
to society and to the fashionable way of thinking.

I may add that if you knew Zündel you would respect him for his
open-mindedness, intelligence, understanding of the most various kinds
of people, and sincerity. Then, upon discovering the true personality
of Zündel, the peasant, the artist, the thinker, you would very likely
get the idea: "I was wrong about him. I've been fooled. In my thoughts
and words, by my acts or omissions, I've condemned a man who, in
reality, is a credit to his nation, to my own and to the whole human
race". You would ask yourselves how to right the wrongs that have been
done.

I have the solution. Take your example from Zündel. If his ideas do
not appeal to you, leave them to him but borrow a bit of his courage.
Protest against the fate reserved for him up to today in a "high
security" cell in Germany and denounce the sham proceedings that an
alleged justice system is conducting against him.

In Canada, Paul Fromm organises, with the greatest selflessness, the
defence of our prisoner of conscience. To join in the support of
Zündel, start by helping Paul Fromm.

I thank you
