CHAPTER III

THE REVISIONISTS
The claims of the revisionists
Everyone today knows that there is a group of people who radically question the
prevalent image of the fate of the Jews under the Third Reich. These people call
themselves "Revisionists", or, more precisely, "Holocaust Revisionists". The media
bespatters them with idiotic smear words like "Auschwitz Deniers", and lumps them
together with "Right-wing Radicals".
If you were to ask the average German what the revisionists actually say, and what
they their statements are based on, he would be unable to answer. This is quite
inevitable because of strict media control; the media have strict instructions not to
permit any expression or discussion of revisionist arguments. Thus, many people are
given pletely erroneous impression that the revisionists deny Jewish suffering
during the Second World War. In reality, no one denies that a considerable number of
Jews under German rule were interned in concentration camps, or that large numbers
of deportees died of epidemics and exhaustion. Nor does anyone deny the reality of
shootings of Jews, particularly, on the Eastern Front.
Revisionists dispute the following three points in particular:
1) That there was a plan for the physical liquidation of the Jews;
2) The existence of "extermination camps" with gas chambers for mass killing of
human beings;
3) That five to six million Jews died in German occupied Europe.
It is also not true that revisionism is a "Right-wing radical" movement, since it is not
an ideology. It is, as Prof. Robert Faurisson likes to say, a method. Revisionists
examine the official picture of the "Holocaust" using the same methods which are
generally recognized as valid for other historical periods.
Of course, it is also true that most revisionists are politically to the Right, and that
some of them are acknowledged National Socialists, but this has no influence on the
correctness or incorrectn
