Att: David Irving,

Please allow me to correct your impression that:

"Judging by the photos, he has emerged from prison a stooped, gray-haired and half-broken man, though with his humor intact."

First-hand, I am happy to report that Ernst Zündel emerged from prison on March 1st not in the least a "stooped" man!  Quite the contrary.  He emerged smiling and upright in stance (and statements) though burdened by bouquets (see pic attached).  

Ernst stepped straight up, warmly confident, to greet each and every friend who had turned up at Mannheim Prison's gate to express their gratitude for his role-model "unbowed" fibre.  As we drove this eagle-eyed owl to his Black Forest ancestral lair, he keenly declared (on film) that:

 "they used to have a critic; now they have an enemy".

Ernst Zündel a free man at last - released from Germany's Mannhein Jail this morning after many long years - but for how long?

Monday, March 1, 2010

From Ingrid Rimland - Mrs Ernst Zündel

THIS morning at 2:45 EST I received a phone call from our British friend, Lady Michele Renouf, who told me: "We have him in the car! All is well! Here he is..." and I could exchange a few happy words with my husband.

Ernst assured me that his release went smoothly and that he would call me a bit later with additional details.

Half an hour later I received a fax from his lady attorney, Alexandra Rittershaus, who told me:

"Ernst is in freedom. A few people were [at the prison gates], but everything went peacefully. I did not have an opportunity to talk to him, but he looked happy."

Above is a photo taken just a few minutes ago, showing Ernst with his splendid Austrian defense attorney, Dr. Herbert Schaller who, at the young age of 87, fought like a lion for Ernst's release!.

 

 

 

Seven Years Behind Bars - longer than Pastor Niemöller. On March 1, 2010 Europe's best-known political prisoner, Ernst Zündel, was released from prison in Germany -- "the freest Germany that has ever been", as it likes to call itself, despite 50,000 arrests for "thought-crimes" every year.

FAURISSON: The Auschwitz mortuary registries: let’s demand their publication!

 


[Attachment(s) from ReporterNotebook included below]


Robert FAURISSON                                                                         January 27, 2010 

The Auschwitz mortuary registries: let's demand their publication!

      Today the French newspaper France-Soir carries a piece headed "Raphaël Feigelson, the Frenchman who led the Russians to Auschwitz"            (http://www.francesoir.fr/societe/2010/01/27/auschwitz-francais.html). The said Raphaël Feigelson has always lied just as he breathes. In 1945 he stated that, at Auschwitz, 7 (seven) million persons had died (R. Faurisson, Ecrits révisionnistes (1974-1998), 1999, p. 1731, where source and explanations are provided: http://robertfaurisson.blogspot.com/1995/12/combien-de-morts-auschwitz.html).   

      In the commentaries to be heard or read these days (late January 2010), our propagandists and journalists have a tendency to say that 1,100,000 persons, 1 million of them Jews, died at Auschwitz. The figure shown since 1995 on the 21 commemorative slabs there is 1,500,000. The previous ones, of which there were 19 in 1990, gave the figure of 4 million, as decreed out of hand at the Nuremberg trial. Up to now the lowest exterminationist estimate has been that of Fritjof Meyer in May 2002: 510,000 ("Die Zahl der Opfer von Auschwitz. Neue Erkenntnisse durch neue Archivfunde", Ost Europa, May 2002, p. 631-641).   

      The true number for the time span from May 1940 to January 1945 might be 125,000 dead both for Auschwitz and the thirty or so minor camps connected to it. The typhus epidemics worked their ravages, especially in 1942, even in the ranks of the Germans, and even amongst the head physicians.   

      The numbers of corpses kept awaiting cremation, then actually cremated, were recorded by the Germans in their "mortuary registries" (Leichenhallenbücher) but, until now, despite my insistence on this point, I have never been able to get our revisionists (or supposed revisionists) who go on site to demand to see those registries in the Auschwitz Archives. I do not understand this attitude. Engaging in theoretical speculations on cremation or crematoria to reckon the possible or probable number of cremations in a camp like that of Auschwitz is hardly of interest, particularly when there exist, within arm's reach as it were, registries showing the precise number of bodies awaiting cremation at a given moment. Personally, I can no longer go to Auschwitz but, if I could, I would proceed as I did in 1975 and, especially, 1976, in the middle of the Communist period, when I succeeded in obtaining from the man in charge of the camp Archives, Tadeusz Iwaszko,  copies of Polish documents in which I discovered the architectural drawings for the crematoria; those drawings had been kept hidden since the war: they enabled me to prove that the alleged (homicidal) "gas chambers" were but innocuous "Leichenhalle" or "Leichenkeller", that is, simple mortuaries, either on ground level or partly below ground. I was then unaware of the existence of the Leichenhallenbücher, mentioned, for example, in 1989 (Danuta Czech, Kalendarium der Ereignisse im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau 1939-1945, Reinberg bei Hamburg, 1989, p. 10, 127).  More than ever, let's demand that these precious records be published!

Update on the Zundel release

 


To all -

It's now been 28 hours since that first phone call from Lady Renouf that Ernst was safely in her car and being whisked away - and I have yet to receive even one negative comment via e-mail from our heckling enemies!   Overwhelmingly, people all over the world are congratulating Ernst for having stood the course and having stuck to his own principles for Truth in History. 

Markus Haverkamp, well-known to many, who reported from inside the Zundel Heresy Trial in Mannheim in 2007, did a brief write-up for alternative media:

This Monday morning, March 1st 2010, Ernst Zundel was released from Mannheim prison after a total of seven years in gaol. Prior to his release the state prosecutor Grossmann had informed the tabloid Bild Zeitung of his release details, whether to proliferate himself, or whether to tempt left-wingers [to cause] trouble - who knows.  [Ernst Zundel's] release details had also been made public by the nationalist news magazine Zuerst.

We thus had no idea what was going to be in store for us when we arrived outside the prison shortly before 08.00. In all ca. 30 people arrived to greet Ernst back to public life, amongst them his heroic lawyer Dr. Herbert Schaller who, though in his mid-eighties, made the arduous trip from Vienna, one of [Ernst's] sisters, Richard Edmonds, Michèle Renouf, a few friends from France, Günter Deckert and others. Had he been released on a Friday afternoon, there would have been a far greater turn-out, that's certain. There was only one journalist present, a chap from AP press.

[After we] waited in the chilly weather for over twenty minutes, Ernst was released at 08.15.  He looked well, physically stout and strong, and very well fed indeed, wearing a lumberjack shirt and jeans. Ernst proceeded to greet each of us in person. To my shame I must admit that I greeted Ernst with the words: "Herr Zündel, it's great to have you back in freedom" to which he replied, visibly shocked: "You must be joking!" i.e. what freedom?

Next Ernst gave the AP chap a brief interview, the contents of which I was unable to make out.

After half an hour we proceeded to a restaurant that had opened this day specifically for us. Here people sat down, enjoyed a coffee and had a chat, the only person unable to get a rest being Ernst who everybody wanted to speak with. Many of us (Germans) had hoped that Ernst would be willing to give lectures on ecological farming some time in the future, and we were thrilled to find that Ernst is excited about this idea (after all there is more to be rectified in the western world than merely the Holocaust story).

After the lunch that followed, the party began to disperse. We all wish Ernst and Ingrid the best of luck and good fortune, and look forward to meeting up with Ernst soon.

Perhaps I should explain that there was a reason why so few people appeared at the prison gate.  The word had been put out that the Antifa - the German counterpart to the violent leftist ARA hoodlums who are so often unleashed on dissident gatherings - was threatening to cause trouble;  in fact, Ernst had alerted the Mannheim police of this possibility. Therefore,  it seemed prudent  stay away so as not to give the Mannheim judiciary cause to arrest Ernst all over again.  Luckily,  Antifa scum were nowhere to be seen, and a few plain-clothes policemen were courteous and inconspicuous.

Meanwhile, I was half a world away, monitoring my e-mail, wishing I could be in Germany at this historic moment.  Globally, it's been a veritable media storm - that much was gratifying.  I did a quick Google search on two words, "Zundel released" - Canada listed 121 mainstream media sources;  a world-wide count gave a total of 189,000 hits!  The favored title for most Poodle Media articles was a snide "Convicted Holocaust DenierŠ" etc. - which told the world that people get imprisoned in Europe and, especially, in Germany, for Thought Crimes!  Donnerwetter! comes to mind.  It always leaves me speechless how our enemies do our work for us - to spread the word that censorship in Western countries is tied to the world's Numero Uno taboo!  Remember not all that long ago when the opposition website, Nizkor, claimed that "Ernst Zundel's supporters couldn't fill a phone boothŠ"?  One of my webmasters wrote that Zundelsite counts "Š have gone through the roof!"

I have since talked to Ernst again - a call from his relatives' home where a private welcome party had meanwhile been arranged.  He is well and in good spirits, but, in his own words, "suffering from culture shock."  Ernst's immediate plans are to restore the  homestead that has been in the Zundel family for 400+ years.  Ernst himself was born there in 1939 and lived in that old house in abject poverty for the first 19 years of his life.  It stood vacant for the past 20 years, and I shudder at the task of restoring it.  But his heart has never left the place, and now it looks like he might have his chance to at least make a dent with the help of younger comrades who have already volunteered. 

Here he is, hours after he was released, hammer already in hand:
 

The words on the banner, translated:  "Finally!  Ernst Zundel - heartily welcome at home!"

The interlaced questions on many people's mind is: "What's next?" and "How can we reach him - and help?"  The number one priority for Ernst is to get a German passport so he can travel, and we can meet somewhere.  Secondly, he needs to get his driver's license and buy himself a car.  As you know, I cannot go to Germany without risking arrest for my Zundelsite work, and he can't leave the EU countries without a passport and a visa.  I will keep you updated as we proceed.  But my guess is that definite plans cannot be made unless we meet somewhere and strategize. 

As to how he can be reached and assisted, it would make sense, for Europeans especially,  to assist him with contributions directly so he can take care of whatever financial obligations will come his way.  In the Soviet Union in olden days, a family was sent a bill for the bullet used for a loved one's execution.  In the so-called "democratic" Bundesrepublik, Ernst has been assessed for the costs of his own trial and incarceration - a hefty 59,000+ Euros (close to US$ 100,000) which he is already paying off in small rates!  And there are going to be other challenges.  For now, he does not even have a table and a chair to send his thank you notes, and he does not yet have a computer - or, more importantly, a person to run it for him.  I run a seamless operation here and have for seven years. I sent him already a credit card in my name, and we hold joint bank accounts that he can access as easily as I.  Both Ernst and I are frugal people, and we have never argued about money.  It could well be that, as he settles down, we'll split our financial supporters, but for now, let's leave things as they are.  Please keep on sending your support to me.  My mailing address is: 

Ingrid Zundel
3152 Parkway, 13-109
Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
USA

Finally, two small but telling developments that have nothing to do with Ernst directly but may be indicative of political changes in Europe: 

First, the Italian Revisionist, Carlo Mattagno, an impeccable researcher, has compiled an interesting paper that, summarized in his own words, comes to a sensational, documented conclusion that "Š Elie Wiesel was never imprisoned either at Birkenau or Auschwitz or Monowitz or Buchenwald". (I will send out that research paper and post it on the Zundelsite as soon as I can get my bearingsŠ)  Imagine the political earthquake if that man would be officially outed as a mega-fraudster we always assumed he might be! 

Secondly, a very small notice was sent to me that a German judge has committed suicide by hanging himself on the steps of the Nuremberg Courthouse where the infamous Auschwitz trials soon after Germany's defeat took place!  For a giddy moment, I actually thought it might be a judge whom we know who had a hand in railroading Ernst for seven years - but no!  This man who decided to suicide himself was only 47 years old, his name and background yet unknown - and this symbolic deed, so far, is still a mystery.  I'd appreciate details such as the man's name - and if there exists a suicide note.  Who knows what he wanted to say?!
That's it for now.  I am glued to my computer.  If you write to me, please use my direct email address:  irimland@bellsouth.net

Thank you so much for caring!

Ingrid Zundel
