Witness Statement: Professor Konrad Kwiet, Macquarie
University, Sydney NSW

I asked Professor Konrad Kwiet, Centre for Genocide Studies,
Macquarie University, to be a witness for this case because
he `believes' in the traditional view of the Holocaust.

Two years ago, I attended a history conference at the
University of New South Wales at which he was one of the key
figures defending the traditional view. He advised me to
leave the topic alone because "it is bigger than both of
us."

My reply to that was, "That is why I won't let go of it.
It's an intellectual challenge!"

Professor Kwiet has, to date, not responded with a witness
statement.
