His trial is to start November 8, 1999, and he may face up to five years in prison if found guilty!
Paul Rassinier
Barred from entering Germany for trying to give testimony for the defense in political trials.
Background and contribution:
Born in 1906, Rassinier, a school teacher, is seen as the Father of modern European Revisionism. A French resistance fighter and friend of the Jews, he was imprisoned by the Germans for his illegal activities in Buchenwald and Camp Dora where he worked in the underground rocket factories. He was elected after the war as a member of the French National Assembly for the Socialist Party. Rassinier nonetheless wrote groundbreaking Revisionist books.
Dr. Robert Faurisson
At least 10 times physically assaulted by Holocaust Enforcers; on several occasions nearly killed. Jaws
broken. Teeth knocked out. Hospitalized for weeks. Persecuted mercilessly in endless legal battles.
Background and contribution:
Known as the "Dean of the world-wide Revisionist movement" and principal teacher of Ernst Zьndel, Dr.
Faurisson first discovered the technical and architectural drawings of the Auschwitz morgues, the
crematories and other installations. He was also the first to insist that only a U.S. gas chamber expert
could unravel the technical impossibility of the Auschwitz homicidal gassing story - as falsely told to the
public for over half a century. Zьndel mentor, advisor and trial witness in the 1984 preliminary hearings
and in the 1985 and 1988 Great Holocaust Trials. Slated as expert witness for the 1991 Munich trial of Ernst Zьndel. (The prosecution dropped the Anne Frank Diary part of the charge in mid-trial after they learned that Dr. Faurisson was going to testify to that point.)
Thies Christophersen
Forced to flee from country to country. Hounded to death after numerous acid attacks, arson, and attempts on his life and property.
Background and contribution:
As a German agrarian expert, Christophersen was stationed at Auschwitz in the critical period 1943-44. As a German expert, he had access to the entire camp. He took valuable
photographs at the time. He was the first Revisionist eyewitness to come forward stating categorically that there were no gas chambers for killing humans in Auschwitz. He wrote the famous booklet, "Die Auschwitz-Lьge", (The Auschwitz Lie) translated into many languages. Zьndel witness in the 1985 and 1988 Great Holocaust Trials.
Judge Wilhelm Stдglich
Was tried and convicted in post-war German courts. Had his doctorate stripped from him and his pension cut for speaking out.
Background and contribution:
Judge Stдglich, stationed during WWII in the Auschwitz area with an anti-aircraft unit, published a
groundbreaking book "Der Auschwitz Mythos" (The Auschwitz Myth) seized, forbidden and destroyed by
West German court order.
Joseph Burg (Ginzburg)
Persecuted and beaten by Holocaust Enforcers of Jewish Defense League type thugs. Denied burial in the Munich Jewish cemetery. (Ernst Zьndel and Otto Ernst Remer gave the eulogies.)

Professor Arthur Butz
Vilified and persecuted for almost three decades.
Background and contribution:
An American electrical engineer and university professor, Butz wrote the "Bible" of modern
Revisionism titled "The Hoax of the 20th Century". This book, which deals with most details
of Holocaust lore from "shrunken heads" to "Jewish soap" and "gassing" claims, more
than any other influenced Ernst Zundel in his Revisionist research.
Haviv Schieber
Driven to attempted suicide
Background and contribution:
A Polish Jew and former mayor of Ber Sheeba in Israel, Schieber taught Ernst
Zьndel much about Israeli reality. He was an Israeli Revisionist, wanting to revise
Israel's attitudes, institutions and borders. He fled Israel to find safety in the USA,
was denied political asylum at first, and tried to take his life by slashing his wrists at Washington, D.C. airport on the day of his
deportation. He was finally allowed refuge from Israeli persecution in the US in the early 1970s.
Francois Duprat
Killed for distributing the French language version of "Did Six Million Really Die?"
Background and contribution:
A French writer, historian and educator, Duprat had introduced the booklet "Did Six Million Really
Die?" in France by publishing the first French translation. He also published "The Mystery of the Gas Chamber." He was only
38 years old when his car was blown up by a bomb and he was assassinated on March 18, 1978. His wife, who was with him in
the car, lost the use of her legs in this terrorist act. Two Jewish groups took credit for the assassination - the "Jewish
Remembrance Commando" and another group who identified itself as ". . . Jewish Revolutionary Group." The assassins were
never found.
Ditlieb Felderer
Charged, tried, convicted and jailed in Sweden. Vilified in the press. Forced to live in exile.
Background and contribution:
Felderer, at one time a prominent Jehovah's Witness, is known as an early researcher into the physical
evidence in every major concentration camp in then Communist Eastern Europe. Felderer took over 30,000
photographs of every conceivable detail in the camps. He discovered that there was a swimming pool for the
inmates in Auschwitz, modern hospital facilities, including a gynecological section, as well as an orchestra, live theatre,
well-stocked library, and sculpting classes. He discovered the musical score of the "Auschwitz Waltz" in the secret archives
accessible only with special permission. He found that an intimate role was played by Jehovah Witnesses in the camps, who
cooperated with the SS-Administration, and he exposed the lie of the 60,000 Jehovah's Witnesses killed. (On his initiative and
insistence, the inflated number was reduced to 203) [Trial Transcript Vol. 18, 4226 to 4229; 4645]. For his Revisionist work,
Felderer was excommunicated - that is, drummed out of the Jehovah Witnesses' sect. He has been persecuted by the
Holocaust Enforcers ever since. Felderer is known for his weird sense of humor and outlandish, offensive cartoons. He
believes that deliberate Holocaust liars and history falsifiers should not have their sensibilities spared. This idiosyncrasy of
Felderers is being exploited by Holocaust propagandists in counter-attacks against him. Zьndel advisor and witness in the
1985 and 1988 Great Holocaust Trials.
Professor Austin App
Persecuted for his courageous and tireless truth campaign for two generations on behalf of
German-Americans.

Million Swindle," "Action on a War Crime," "The Bombing Atrocity of Dresden," "Ravaging the women of
Conquered Europe," and many others - Professor App was an early guide of Ernst Zьndel.
Ernst Zьndel
Three documented assassination attempts by fire and pipe bombs. Endless legal
harassment leading to repeated jailings and bankrupting of his graphic arts
business.
Background and contribution:
Nicknamed the "Revisionist Dynamo" or the "Revisionist Renaissance Man" for his
untiring Revisionist Truth Campaign and his comprehensive grasp of complex political issues, Zьndel - more than any other
Revisionist on earth - caused the Holocaust Hoax to become a mainstream topic of discussion. Extensive chronological
biography on the Zundelsite.
Jim Keegstra
Lost his job and his reputation was destroyed. Prevented an arson attempt against him. Was convicted to a
$3,000 fine after 10 years of costly litigation. Was financially ruined by his ordeal.
Background and contribution:
A Canadian school teacher of Dutch background, Keegstra taught both sides of the Holocaust and other
questions of history. He was charged under Canada's infamous "Hate Laws", and was tried and convicted. He
appealed - and was re-tried and re-convicted. Three times, his case went to the Supreme Court. He ultimately lost. Zьndel
witness in the 1985 Great Holocaust Trial.
Frank Walus
Attacked seven times by Jewish assailants; nearly killed in an acid attack. Lost his US
citizenship and his home to pay for his defense.
Background and contribution:
A Polish German-American auto worker, Walus was targeted and accused falsely by
Simon Wiesenthal to be a "Nazi War Criminal." Vilified by the US media in a vicious
campaign as the "Butcher of Kielce", Walus fought bravely against his tormentors of the Office of Special Investigations, also
known as the US "Nazi Hunters". He ultimately won his case against them in a costly appeals process but died after several
massive heart attacks - a bitter, financially ruined man. He refused to be buried on US soil because he felt the country had
betrayed and failed him. Zьndel witness in the 1985 Great Holocaust Trial.
Emil Lachout
Mercilessly hounded by Austrian authorities and the Austrian lapdog media for over a decade. Forced to
undergo a humiliating psychiatric assessment.
Background and contribution:
An Austrian school teacher, former military police man and Boy Scout leader, Lachout's name is associated
with the famous Mьller-Lachout document. He ultimately won his case in the European Court of Human
Rights. Austria must pay him compensation but hasn't done yet - so far. Never a man to do things by halves, Lachout is
demanding an apology from the Austrian State. Zьndel witness in the 1988 Great Holocaust Trial.
Henri Roques
Had his doctorate revoked.
Background and contribution:
