30th Anniversary of The Great Holocaust TrialBy Michael Hoffmanwww.revisionisthistory.orgOn January 7, 1985 the seven week show trial of German-Canadian dissident Ernst Zundel commenced in Toronto, Canada. The "Crown" prosecutor sought to have Zundel imprisoned for two years on a charge of disseminating "false news," a surrealistic "crime" in the eyes of the Queen of England (thank God for the American Revolution).Ernst had published a book by an English author, Did Six Million Really Die? At the behest of a Judaic "Auschwitz Remembrance" society the full resources of the state were brought to bear against him, including allegedly unimpeachable "Holocaust survivors" touted as "gas chamber eyewitnesses," along with the world's foremost "Holocaust historian." In case none of that worked, a gaggle of Zionist JDL terrorists were stationed outside the courthouse with the intention of beating or perhaps even killing the defendant, his legal defense team (Doug Christie, Keltie Zubko and Prof. Robert Faurisson) and an American reporter who had arrived at Zundelhaus the night before and took up residence there for the duration of the trial (yours truly).The media initially mocked Zundel as a nut case, predicting the Crown prosecution team with its millions of Canadian taxpayer dollars and the backing of the international "Holocaust" lobby, would easily rout and demolish Zundel.As I sat in the press gallery next to Kirk Makin of the Toronto Globe and Mail, television reporter Claude Adams, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Canadian inquisitor, Zundel's defense team scored a historic coup by being the first to truly aggressively cross-examine the prosecution's "Holocaust survivors," and cause them to recant their exaggerations and fantasies. Zundel's team also made mincemeat out of Prof. Raul Hilberg, author of The Destruction of the European Jews, a tome regarded at the time as the reigning magisterial — and of course “unquestionable" — history of the supposed homicidal gas chambers of Auschwitz.Mr. Zundel’s trial produced numerous newspaper headlines and opened several national evening television newscasts which turned Canada upside down (other media, such as the New York Times chose only to cover the first and last days of the trial, with no references to the embarrassing revelations elicited by Christie and Faurisson).Unfortunately the presiding judge, Hugh Locke, was among the most biased of magistrates (the German revisionists in the courtroom drew unflattering comparisons between Locke and Roland Freisler, Hitler's hanging judge). Zundel was found guilty of the false news charge, a verdict which was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada.The saga of Ernst Zundel is told in my book The Great Holocaust Trial, which for a time was banned and seized by Canadian Customs. It was updated in 1995 to cover the arson of Zundel's house in Toronto, and again in 2010 to report the seven years he served in Canadian and German prisons (much of it in solitary confinement), on charges related to his “Holocaust denial" Internet publishing, over which the “democratic” government of Germany claims universal jurisdiction.The Massacre in ParisCharlie Hebdo editor Stéphane Charbonnier in 2012 with the front page of his newspaper mocking an Islamic fundamentalist and an Orthodox rabbi. He was murdered today in France.Today, on the thirtieth anniversary of the trial, I am signing a contract with a publisher in France, for the translation of my book into French. This signing is all the more poignant in that in Paris today it is reported that two police officers and ten staff members of the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo — which has printed not just criticism of Islamic fundamentalism, as the corporate media is reporting, but also revisionist material, including satire of rabbinic extremists — were massacred.All World War II revisionists are subject to death threats and violence. Prof. Faurisson was nearly beaten to death by Zionists in 1989, and Francois Duprat, a French revisionist teacher was killed in a bombing in 1978, which severely wounded his wife. In 1984 the Institute for Historical Review's book warehouse was torched and completely destroyed. In 1985 my wife, the mother of three young children at the time, was chased down State Street in Ithaca, New York by a Zionist mob. She saved herself from a beating only by jumping into a car and locking the doors. As noted, Zundel's house was burned with impunity in 1995. Prof. Arthur Butz, author of The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, has been regularly menaced by thugs at Northwestern University.For naive and dull-witted persons "Islam" is a monolithic enemy of freedom that must be countered in alliance with the "noble" Israelis. People with a bit more sense — and knowledge of the operations of the secret services — understand that enemies of Zionism can be liquidated and sympathy for the Israeli state generated, via spectacular terror attacks perpetrated by savage Sunni-Salafists who are clandestinely directed by Mossad, the CIA, MI6 and similar shadow agencies.An offending issue of Charlie Hebdo, satirizing sacred cows — “ intouchables” (untouchables) — a Muslim fundamentalist and an exponent of the Talmud. The caption has them both saying, “Must not laugh at us!”The French publisher of The Great Holocaust Trial will be as much in peril as the Charlie Hebdo people. This is the perpetual price that is paid by those who speak truth to power, beginning with the God-man who first spoke it to the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago. Like the massacre in Paris of the Charlie Hebdo staff, which is being ascribed to Muslims alone, the crucifixion of Christ is nowadays blamed on the Romans alone. The French have a saying, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.For further research:The fate of distributors of anti-gas chamber cartoons compared with distributors of anti-Islam cartoonsSatirical gas chamber comic book by Michael Hoffman_____________________________
