CAT AB — The eries that Makes a ifference!

This ambitious series of scholarly books addresses various topics of the socalled ewish “olocaust” of

the era. They all have a highly critical, if not skeptical attitude toward the commonly held views

on this topic and are usually referred to as “revisionist” in nature. These books are designed to have the

power to both convince the common reader as well as academics in this ¿eld. The following books have

appeared so far

ermar udolf: ectures on the olocaust. Controversial ssues Cross xamined Between 992 and 200 erman scholar ermar udolf has lectured to various audi-

ences about the olocaust in the light of new ¿ndings. udolf’s sometimes astounding

facts and arguments fell on fertile soil among his listeners as they were presented in a

very sensitive and scholarly way. This book is the literary version of udolf’s lectures

enriched with the most recent ¿ndings of historiography. t is a dialogue between the lec-

turer and the reactions of the audience. udolf introduces the most important arguments

for his ¿ndings and his audience reacts with supportive skeptical and also hostile ques-

tions. The ectures read like an exciting real-life exchange between persons of various

points of view. The usual arguments against revisionism are addressed and refuted. This

book resembles an entertaining collection of answers to frequently asked questions on the

olocaust. t is the best introduction into this taboo topic for both readers unfamiliar with

the topic and for those wanting to know more.

Arthur . Butz: he oax of the wentieth Centuryith this book r. Butz Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer cience

has been the ¿rst writer to treat the entire olocaust complex from the revisionist perspec-

tive in a precise scienti¿c manner. The oax exhibits the overwhelming force of historical

and logical arguments which revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 970s. t

was the ¿rst book published in the which won for revisionism the academic dignity to

which it is entitled. t continues to be a major revisionist reference work frequently cited

by prominent personalities. This new edition comes with several supplements adding new

information gathered by the author over the last 2 years. t is a “must read” for every revi-

sionist and every newcomer to the issue who wants to learn about revisionist arguments.

. udolf ed.): issecting the olocaust. he rowing Critique of ‘ruth’ and ‘emory’

issecting the olocaust applies state-of-the-art scienti¿c technique and classic meth-

ods of detection to investigate the alleged murder of millions of Jews by ermans during

orld ar . n 22 contributions of each ca. 0 pages the 7 authors dissect generally

accepted paradigms of the “olocaust.” t reads as exciting as a crime novel: so many

lies forgeries and deceptions by politicians historians and scientists. This is the intel-lectual adventure of the 2st century. Be part of it!

“There is at present no other single volume that so provides a serious reader with

a broad understanding of the contemporary state of historical issues that inÀuential

people would rather not have examined.” —Prof. r. A. . Butz Evanston

“Read this book and you will know where revisionism is today.... revisionism has

done away with the exterminationist case.” —Andrew ray The Barnes Review

ngrid eckert: ewish migration from the hird eichCurrent historical writings about the Third eich paint a bleak picture regarding its

treatment of Jews. Jewish emigration is often depicted as if the Jews had to sneak over theerman borders leaving all their possessions behind. The truth is that the emigration was

welcomed and supported by the erman authorities and occurred under constantly in-

creasing pressure. eckert’s booklet elucidates the emigration process in law and policy

thereby augmenting the received picture of Jewish emigration from ermany.

on eddesheimer: he irst olocaust. ewish und aising Campaigns ith

olocaust Claims uring And After orld ar neix million Jews in Europe threatened with a holocaust: this allegation was spread by

sources like The New ork Times – but the year was 99! on eddesheimer’s compact

but substantive irst olocaust documents post- propaganda that claimed East Eu-

ropean Jewry was on the brink of annihilation regularly invoking the talismanic six mil-

lion ¿gure); it details how that propaganda was used to agitate for minority rights for Jews

in Poland and for Bolshevism in ussia. t demonstrates how Jewish fund-raising opera-tions in America raised vast sums in the name of feeding Polish and ussian Jews then

funneled much of the money to ionist and Communist “constructive undertakings.”

The irst olocaust is a valuable study of American Jewish institutional operations at

a fateful juncture in Jewish and European history an incisive examination of a cunningly

contrived campaign of atrocity and extermination propaganda two decades before the al-

leged olocaust – and an indispensable addition to every revisionist’s library.

C. Mattogno J. raf: reblinka. xtermination Camp or ransit Camp?t is alleged that at Treblinka in East Poland between 700000 and 000000 persons

were murdered in 942 and 94. The weapons used were said to have been stationaryand/or mobile gas chambers fast-acting or slow-acting poison gas unslaked lime super-

heated steam electricity diesel exhaust fumes etc. olocaust historians alleged that bod-

ies were piled as high as multi-storied buildings and burned without a trace using little

or no fuel at all. raf and Mattogno have now analyzed the origins logic and technical

feasibility of the of¿cial version of Treblinka. n the basis of numerous documents they

reveal Treblinka’s true identity: it was a transit camp. Even longtime revisionism buffs

will ¿nd a lot that is new in this book while raf’s animated style guarantees a pleasant

reading experience. The original testimony of witnesses enlivens the reader as does the

skill with which the authors expose the absurdities of olocaust historiography.

J. raf T. ues C. Mattogno: obibor. olocaust ropaganda and eality

Between 2000 and 2000000 Jews are said to have been killed in gas chambers in

the obibór camp in eastern Poland in 942 and 94. The corpses were allegedly buried

in mass graves and later incinerated on pyres. This book investigates these claims and

shows that they are not based on solid evidence but on the selective use of absurd and

contradictory eye-witness testimonies. Archeological surveys of the camp in 2000-200

are analyzed with fatal results for the extermination camp hypothesis. The book also

thoroughly documents the general N policy toward Jews which never included an ex-

termination plan.

C. Mattogno: Belzec in ropaganda estimonies Archeological esearch

and istory itnesses report that at least 00000 if not as many as three million Jews were mur-

dered in the Belzec camp located in eastern Poland between 94 and 942. arious

murder weapons are claimed to have been used: diesel gas chambers; unslaked lime in

trains; high voltage; vacuum chambers. According to witnesses the corpses were inciner-

ated on huge pyres without leaving any traces. or those who know the stories about Tre-

blinka this all sounds too familiar. The author therefore restricted this study to the aspects

which are different and new compared to Treblinka but otherwise refers the reader to his

Treblinka book. The development of the of¿cial image portrait about Belzec is explainedand subjected to a thorough critique. n contrast to Treblinka forensic drillings and exca-

vations were performed in the late 990s in Belzec the results of which are explained and

critically reviewed. These ¿ndings together with the absurd claims by “witnesses” refute

the thesis of an extermination camp.





J. raf C. Mattogno: Concentration Camp ajdanek ittle research had been directed toward the concentration camp Majdanek in central

Poland even though it is claimed that up to a million Jews were murdered there. The

only information available is discredited Polish Communists propaganda. This glaring re-

search gap has ¿nally been ¿lled. After exhaustive research of primary sources Mattogno

and raf created a monumental study which expertly dissects and repudiates the myth

of homicidal gas chambers at Majdanek. They also critically investigated the legendary

mass executions of Jews in tank trenches “peration arvest estival”) and prove themgroundless. The authors’ investigations lead to unambiguous conclusions about the camp

which are radically different from the of¿cial theses. Again they have produced a standard

and methodical investigative work which authentic historiography cannot ignore.

. udolf C. Mattogno: Auschwitz ies. egends ies and rejudices on the olocaust

“rench biochemist . ellers exposed the euchter eport as fallacious” – he ex-

posed only his own grotesque incompetence. “Polish researcher Prof. J. Markiewicz

proved with analysis that yklon B was used in the gas chambers of Auschwitz” – Mar-

kiewicz fabricated his results. “Chemist r. ichard reen showed that the revisionists’

chemical arguments are Àawed” – reen actually had to admit that the revisionists areright. “Prof. immerman proved that the crematories in Auschwitz could cremate all vic-

tims of the claimed mass murder.” – as an accountant immerman proved only his lack

of knowledge. “Profs. M. hermer and A. robman refuted the entire array of revisionist

arguments” – they merely covered a tiny fraction of revisionist arguments and botched

their attempt at refutation. “eren McCarthy and Mazal found the ‘oles of eath’

proving the existence of the Auschwitz gas chambers” – they twisted evidence to support

their case and suppressed facts refuting it. These and other untruths are treated in this book and exposed for

what they really are: political lies created to ostracize dissident historians and to keep the entire western world

in merciless olocaust servitude.

. euchter . aurisson: . udolf he euchter eports. Critical dition

Between 9 and 99 American expert on execution technologies red euchter

wrote four expert reports addressing the question whether or not the Third eich oper-

ated homicidal gas chambers. The ¿rst report on Auschwitz and Majdanek became world

famous. Based on chemical analysis of wall samples and on various technical arguments

euchter concluded that the locations investigated “could not have then been or now be

utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers.” n subsequent

years this ¿rst euchter eport was the target of much criticism some of it justi¿ed. This

edition republishes the unaltered text of all four reports and accompanies the ¿rst one with

critical notes and research updates backing up and supporting those of euchter’s claims

that are correct and correcting those that are inaccurate or false.

. udolf ed.): Auschwitz: lain acts. A esponse to eanClaude ressac

rench pharmacist Jean-Claude Pressac tried to refute revisionists with their own

technical methods. or this he was praised by the mainstream and they proclaimed vic-

tory over the revisionists. n Auschwitz: Plain acts Pressac’s works are subjected to

a detailed critique. Although Pressac deserves credit for having made accessible many

hitherto unknown documents he neither adhered to scienti¿c nor to formal standards

when interpreting documents: e made claims that he either could not prove or whichcontradict the facts; documents do not state what he claims they do; he exhibits massive

technical incompetence and he ignores important arguments. Auschwitz: Plain acts is

a must read for all those who want to argue against the lies and half truth of established

historiography.1 pp. pb., ”×”, bw ill., bibl., index, 0.




Jürgen raf: he iant with eet of Clay. aul ilberg and his tandard ork on the

“olocaust”

aul ilberg’s major work The estruction of European Jewry is generally considered

the standard work on the olocaust. The critical reader might ask: what evidence does

ilberg provide to back his thesis that there was a erman plan to exterminate Jews to

be carried out in the legendary gas chambers? And what evidence supports his estimate

of . million Jewish victims? Jürgen raf applies the methods of critical analysis to

ilberg’s evidence and examines the results in the light of revisionist historiography. The

results of raf’s critical analysis are devastating for ilberg. raf’s Giant With Feet of

Clay is the ¿rst comprehensive and systematic examination of the leading spokesperson

for the orthodox version of the Jewish fate during the Third eich.


ermar udolf: he udolf eport. xpert eport on Chemical and echnical Aspects of

the ‘as Chambers’ of Auschwitz n 9 red euchter American expert for execution technologies investigated the

alleged gas chambers of Auchwitz and Majdanek and concluded that they could not have

functioned as claimed. Ever since euchter’s claims have been massively criticized. n

99 udolf a researcher from a prestigious erman Max-Planck-nstitute published a

thorough forensic study about the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz which irons out the

de¿ciencies and discrepancies of the euchter eport.

The Rudolf Report is the ¿rst English edition of this sensational scienti¿c work. t

analyzes all existing evidence on the Auschwitz gas chambers. The conclusions are quite

clear: The alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz could not have existed. n the appendix

udolf describes his unique persecution.

Carlo Mattogno: pecial reatment in Auschwitz. rigin and eaning of a ermhen appearing in erman wartime documents terms like “special treatment” “spe-

cial action” and others have been interpreted as code words signifying the murder of

inmates. hile the term “special treatment” in many such documents did indeed mean

execution the term need not always have had that meaning in erman records. This book

is the most thorough study of this textual problem to date. Publishing and interpreting nu-

merous such documents about Auschwitz – many of them hitherto unknown – Mattogno

shows that while “special” had many different meanings not a single one meant “execu-

tion.” This important study demonstrates that the practice of deciphering an alleged “code

language” by assigning homicidal meaning to harmless documents is no longer tenable


C. Mattogno: he Bunkers of Auschwitz. Black ropaganda vs. istoryThe so-called “Bunkers” at Auschwitz are claimed to have been the ¿rst homicidal gas cham-

bers at Auschwitz speci¿cally equipped for this purpose in early 942. ith the help of original

erman wartime ¿les this study shows that these “Bunkers” never existed; how the rumors

about them evolved as black propaganda created by resistance groups within the camp; how

this propaganda was transformed into ‘reality’ by historians; and how material evidence aerial

photography and archeological research) con¿rms the publicity character of these rumors.


Carlo attogno Auschwitz: he Central Construction f¿ceBased upon mostly unpublished erman wartime documents from Moscow archives this

study describes the history organization tasks and procedures of the Central Constructionf¿ce of the affen- and Police Auschwitz. espite a huge public interest in the camp next

to nothing was really known about this of¿ce which was responsible for the planning and con-

struction of the Auschwitz camp complex including those buildings in which horrendous mass

Carlo Mattogno: Auschwitz: he irst assing. umor and ealityThe ¿rst gassing of human beings in Auschwitz is claimed to have occurred on ept. 94

in a basement room. The accounts reporting it are the archetypes for all later gassing accounts.

This study analyzes all available sources about this alleged event. t shows that these sources

contradict each other in location date preparations victims etc. rendering it impossible to

extract a consistent story. riginal wartime documents inÀict a ¿nal blow to the tale of the ¿rst

homicidal gassing.

The morgue of Crematorium in Auschwitz is claimed to have been the ¿rst homicidal gas

chamber in that camp. This study thoroughly investigates all accessible statements by witnesses

and analyzes hundreds of wartime documents in order to accurately write a history of that build-

ing. Mattogno proves that its morgue was never used as a homicidal gas chamber nor could it

have served as such.


Carlo Mattogno: Auschwitz: pen Air ncinerationsundreds of thousands of corpses of murder victims are claimed to have been incinerated in

deep ditches in Auschwitz. This book examines the testimonies and establishes whether these

claims were technically possible. sing air photo evidence physical evidence as well as war-

time documents the author shows that these claims are untrue.


Jürgen raf Carlo Mattogno: Concentration Camp tutthof and its

unction in ational ocialist ewish olicy

The concentration camp at tutthof near anzig in western Prussia has never before been

scienti¿cally investigated by estern historians. Polish authors of¿cially sanctioned by their

Communist government long maintained that tutthof was converted to an “auxiliary extermi-

nation camp” in 944 with the mission to murder Jews. This book subjects this concept to rigor-ous critical investigation based on literature and documents from various archives. t shows that

extermination claims contradict reliable sources.
