The Holocaust - Proven at Nuremberg?: Reviewing the Evidence Presented at the International Military Tribunal - Paperback

by Germar Rudolf (Author)

Orthodox scholars and mainstream media claim that the trials conducted by the victorious powers of World War Two provide all sorts of useful evidence demonstrating that "the Holocaust" happened. By this, they assert that the Third Reich had a plan to exterminate all Jews within its reach, that it implemented that plan as a conveyor-belt-style, high-tech operation, and that it succeeded in killing six million Jews.

The present book investigates this claim by critically reviewing the prosecution's evidence during the largest of the postwar trials, the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, or IMT. First, the author describes the political and legal setting for the trial: the victors' intentions, the trial's legality and legitimacy, the laws and rules created for it, as well as its actual implementation. Next, the prosecution's methods are scrutinized: the use of prior trials conducted under questionable circumstances, dubious expert reports, and testimonies as well as affidavits, many of them acquired under duress. Finally, an analysis of the principal evidence is provided: two film documentaries shown during the IMT's early days, various witness statements and affidavits, as well as several sets of documents cherry-picked by the prosecution.

In conclusion, the author finds that the truth was the first casualty not only of World War Two, but also of the Nuremberg trials, whose primary objective was apparently to bury the truth "under a pile of historical rubbish." The actual truth seems to be that the Holocaust was something considerably different than what is portrayed today.
