The movie version is surrounded by a steep hillside that prevented outsiders from seeing inmates. Commander Goeth, on his front balcony, is seen shooting working and relaxing inmates beside the barracks in the inmates' camp. [See file 1.GIF] 1994 AIR PHOTOS SHOW the camp was visible through wire fences from 3 villages. Goeth could not have shot inmates from his house balcony, as the house was at the bottom of a hill and he COULD NOT SEE OVER OR AROUND THE HILL INTO THE INMATES' CAMP. The camp was located next to Cracow city, beside a major roadway, and was visible from hundreds of houses in 3 surrounding villages.

In Michael Hoffman's book, "The Great Holocaust Trial", Institute for Historical Review, 1985, about Zundel's trial in Toronto in that year on the charge of knowingly spreading false news, Hoffman writes about the matter of the book, "The Hitler We Loved and Why". On page 72 Hoffman explained how at a certain stage of that trial the prosecuting attorney, Griffiths, turned to the book we are discussing. Griffiths wanted to establish that Zundel's politics as revealed in the book in question show him to be a neo-Nazi. Griffiths also wanted to show Zundel used Holocaust Revisionism as a vehicle to make Nazism respectable again. The larger point, that Zundel wants to make Nazism respectable again, may be true, but Zundel does not take credit for the book. According to Hoffman, Zundel provided photographs for the book, and the moniker "Christof Friedrich" assigned as the author was used by American publisher George Dietz instead of his own. Dietz was the author according to Zundel and Hoffman, and Dietz to my knowledge has never denied his authorship of the book. A question anti-Nazis may respond to is whether one's opinions alone should be enough to land one in jail. During the Spanish Inquisition it was accepted by Spanish society as fit and proper for heretics to be burnt at the stake for attempting to pervert and lead astray the immortal souls of the people. Today it is the idealogical unity, and other forms of unity, that leaders of the anti-Nazi/anti-racist/anti-Revisionist crowd want to preserve at the cost of the truth about the gas chambers, the true purpose of the concentration camps, and to the liberty of the telling of the plain truth about these matters. The anti-Revisionists are either too indoctrinated in the false historical myths invented by the anti-Nazi propagandists to see the truth about these things, or they are too blinded by their hatred of the Nazis to be open minded about these things, or they are politically motivated like the anti-Nazi propagandists to deny the truth and fight against any telling of the truth. The argument that Zundel is either a Nazi or too friendly to Nazis is about on the level with "he's a Jew or a Jew-lover and nothing he says can possibly be true." If that's the kind of argument you are making, it seems to be a very convenient method of cutting all discussion about the details and accusations. It also seems to be an appeal to prejudice and party spirit--not to a careful analysis of the evidence without fear or favor to any side. Do you say you want the truth about the gas chambers, the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem, and the concentration camps? You can prove your claim of wanting the truth by examining the details involved, and by allowing every argument and explanation to be made and given full opportunity to be explored and told. The hostile attitude toward Holocaust Revisionism that is so common is the result of a reluctance to examine even- handedly without prejudice the facts involved. To resolutely refuse to consider arguments against the Extermination Thesis does not appear to me to be the sign of an open minded person untouched by party feeling.

I don't agree with Zuendel's racial philosophy. Multi-ethnic/multi-ethnic societies have their pluses as well as their minuses. I think it would be kind of dull living in a racially homogeneous society. As for blaming the non-whites for how the U.S. has been slipping, I think the real cause of our national decline is the absolutely insane economic policies of the federal government, which has been letting basic industries get destroyed over the last thirty years without lifting a finger to save them. No other major industrial power on the face of the earth has a trade policy as benighted as ours. But all this belongs in alt.new-world-order. Getting back to Zuendel, he's done more to get the revisionist message out than all the rest of the people in the movement put together. All through his prolonged persecution he's been playing by the rules with regards to the various legal restrictions placed on him by Germany and Canada: suspension of mailing privileges, injunction on talking about the Holocaust while his convictions were being appealed, restrictions on travel, and God knows what else. The beautiful thing about it is that he finally won! A triumph for freedom, especially free speech. Almost makes you want to believe in the system. As for the secret Nazi bases in the Arctic, I figure that was just a posture he adopted for a while to get his foot in the door of radio and TV talk shows. He received considerable criticism at the time from others in the revisionist movement for going off on this tangent, I understand. (That was before my time (Before Leuchter)).

"But my intention is to sell a bundle and travel the world for my retirement." "Quite honestly, most of collectors happen to be Jewish," says Newman, who is Jewish himself."

"I say, 'If you find it offensive, I'd advise you to purchase it. I'll supply you the matches and you can take it into the bathroom and burn it. '"
