Ecrits révisionnistes (1974-1998) BY ROBERT FAURISSON Chapter 9: A GLANCE AT SOME OTHER MYSTIFICATIONS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Just as perplexed as todays generation, those of the future will ask themselves identical questions about a number of second world war myths besides that of the Nazi gas chambers: apart from the Jewish soap, the tanned human skins, the shrunken heads, and the gas vans mentioned above, let us cite those of the insane medical experiments attributed to DrMengele, Adolf Hitlers orders to undertake the extermination of the Jews, the order given by Heinrich Himmler to halt said extermination, the extermination of the Jews by means of electricity, steam, quicklime, crematoria, burning pits, vacuum pumps; let us cite as well the purported extermination of Gypsies and homosexuals, and the alleged gassing of the mentally infirm.

Those future generations will wonder about many other subjects: the massacres on the Eastern front as related in certain writings, and in writing only, at the Nuremberg trial by the professional false witness Hermann Gräbe; the now avowed impostures such as the book signed by Hermann Rauschning entitled Hitler Speaks(36), which in fact was written chiefly by the Hungarian Jew Imre Révész, alias Emery Reves, but was used extensively at the Nuremberg trial as though it were authentic; the alleged plan to test an atomic bomb near Auschwitz in order to eliminate Jews, also brought up at the Nuremberg trial; the absurd confessions extorted from German prisoners; the reputed diary of Anne Frank; the young boy in the Warsaw ghetto shown as going to his death whereas he most likely emigrated to New York after the war; and various false memoirs, false stories, false testimonies, false attributions whose true nature would, with a minimum of care, have been easy to ascertain.

But those future generations will probably be astonished most of all by the myth which was instituted and hallowed by the Nuremberg trial (and, to a lesser degree, by the Tokyo trial): that of the intrinsic barbarity of the vanquished and the intrinsic virtue of the victors who, as becomes apparent upon a close look at the facts, themselves committed acts of horror which were far more striking, both in quantity and in quality, than those perpetrated by the vanquished.
