September
25, 1999
Dear
Mr. B.
This
letter is in reply to your communication of September 10, 1999. I hope it
fulfills the requirement of a brief.
The
right to free speech is not an absolute. Anybody shouting fire in a crowded
theater when there is none, can not use as his defense that he exercised his
right to free speech, but will be convicted of manslaughter if a panic ensues
resulting in death and injury. The creation and spreading of atrocity
propaganda is analogous to shouting fire in a crowed theater in as far as the
end result is the same, the loss of innocent lives. I enclose page 267 from
General Patton’s book: “War As I Knew It.” Somebody on the American side had
created and spread the following atrocity propaganda; namely that the German
soldiers had murdered all the members of the hospital and raped all the nurses.
None of it was true. Let me quote: “In all some eight hundred (German)
prisoners were taken and probably five hundred killed, as the (American)
soldiers were still under the impression that atrocities had been committed.”
The creator of that atrocity tale not only caused the death of about 500
hundred German prisoners of war, but deprived wives of husbands, children of
fathers, and left many a maiden a lifelong spinster. Now to my own experience.
May 4, 1995 I attended a talk given by “Holocaust” survivor, W.P. at the
University Center of M. When I challenged Mr. P. by pointing out that one could
not incinerate corpses in ditches with discarded Christmas trees he got very
angry, and told the mostly young audience that I should be hanged, or commit
suicide with the rest of the Germans. About a fourth of the students clapped in
approval. (The episode is on video tape). I have received death threats in the
past, and while I was still teaching my job was threatened. Nothing however bothered me as much as the
hate of these students for whom the challenge of an absurd story was a hanging
offense. This question never leaves me: The students clapped when W.P. said I
should bc hangcd; how far away are thcy from clapping at a real hanging?
Now to
Professor K., the Holocaust summer course of 1999, and my ouster from it. The
moment Professor K. came to the M. University Campus he started to proselytize
the Holocaust “religion “ even after its major doctrine, the gas chambers, had
been discredited. At the end of the second World War, I was just a child of
ten. But I remember too well how almost daily we were hammered with the lie
that we, bad Germans, had gassed hundreds of thousands 0f Jews in the gas
chambers of Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald, camps within Germany proper.
In the sixties this lie was allowed to fade away and a new version blended in,
namely that the extermination camps (camps with gas chambers) had only been in
the East, which after 1945 was separated from the West by the “Iron Curtain”.
Especially Auschwitz gained a pivotal role. In the late eighties, early
nineties the following reports were published: The Leuchter Report, The Ball
Report, The Rudolph Report, The Lueftl Report, all concluding that the rooms at
Auschwitz listed as gas chambers could not have been used to gas people, but
were what they are named in the architectural plans, morgues, subsequently also
used as air raid shelters.
Now to
the Holocaust course taught by Professor K.
During the first class Professor K. showed the French made video “Night
and Fog”. It is pure atrocity propaganda, put together with the intent to
deceive and arouse hate. It begins with a fraudulent title, contains at least
three frames taken from faked pictures ( I enclose one) and ends with the
absurd Jews into soap story. The abbreviation n.n. <nomen nescio) is like
most abbreviations taken from Latin and is not the abbreviation of “Nacht und
Nebel” in English “Night and Fog” the title of the video. The lie that fat from
gassed Jews was made into soap has been dropped. But Professor K. did not want
to give up on it completely. In his syllabus, p. 3 he wrote: “ Resnais was
wrong to present the manufacture of soap from human remains as a wide spread
practice among the concentration camps. ..”According to Professor K. it might
not have been a wide spread practice, but it was a practice nevertheless. One
frame showed a gas chamber with gleaming shower heads which were supposed to
have been used to dispense the lethal gas. I was insistent in my questioning:
“In which camp is the gas chamber with the shower heads?” This questioning was
called disrupting to the class. The gas chamber could not have been at
Auschwitz. There, depending on what book you read, Zyclon B was supposed to
have been introduced through a hollow pillar, or dropped from openings in the
roof. There were shower heads in the Brausebad (shower room) at Dachau. This
shower room was pointed out to the American GIs as a gas chamber. But as I
already mentioned, the lie that there were gas chambers in camps within Germany
proper, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald has been dropped. Professor K. in his
Holocaust course not only disseminated atrocity propaganda, he also falsified
history by leaving out pertinent facts. April 13, 1919 three Jews, Eugen
Levine, Ernst Toller and Max Levien, usurped dictatorial powers in Bavaria and
declared the State of Bavaria to be a Soviet Republic (Raete Republik). This
Republic was quickly overthrown but the bloodletting in the streets of Munich
and Augsburg was horrendous. The street battles in other German cities,
especially Berlin, between the Jewish led Communists and loyal government
troops were equally bloody .It was only the victory of the National Socialists
(Nazis) which finally exorcised the thread of a Communistic Germany. If German
had fallen to International Communism I doubt if the rest of Europe could have
been held. Adolf Hitler and his Party came to power (legally) January 30, 1933.
On March 24,1933 The Daily Express (London) carried this headline: “Judea
Declares War On Germany -Jews Of All The World Unite In Action.” (I include
the page.) The article carried the
usual atrocity propaganda. When the American government gave the order to
intern the Japanese (some Germans were also interned) the motives were fear of
a fifth column within the United States. It was the same fear which prompted
the Nazi government to intern the Jews, and not as was claimed by Professor K.
an irrational racism. In the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle (September 13, 1996) Professor
K. likens me to Typhoid Mary; “She’s spreading a disease we thought was
vanquished.” I am not a disease spreader. It is Professor K. who shouts fire,
fire. I was ousted from that Holocaust course becausc I wanted to know, where
is the fire, in what “gas chambcr” were
those shower heads? I was ousted
because Professor K. did not want to be questioned, nor challenged on his
version of “history”. My request of a
review regarding my ouster from Professor K.’s 1999 summer course: History 258
The Holocaust: The Politics of Race, Nationalism and War should be granted
according to the Regents Bylaws, Chapter 3, Section 7: (a}
The case involves substantial constitutional claims. (b) The decision
made at the institutional level could have systemwide implications.

Dear
Mr. B., Regent:
When you
opted for a closed session versus an open meeting ( October 27, 1999) to decide
my case versus Professor K. and the University you did not act illegally, or
imnmora11y, just cowardly .
In my letter
of November I, 1999 I wrote the following: “No, I will not sue. The University
has all the resources, thanks in part to my tax Dollar. I have nothing. Why
then add insult to injury by adding in your letter of November 9, 1999 that I
could file a petition for review in the appropriate circuit court. Was that
just bureaucratic insensitivity or did you want to twist the knife?
You, the
Regents, are supposed to be the guardians of the University, and the University
is supposed to be the guardian of logic and reason. Macbeth only murdered
sleep. But you, by siding with professor K. and his atrocity propaganda,
murdered reason.
Some years
ago I read the protocol of a witches trial. Not many men suffered the fate of being
burned alive for that monstrous belief in witches. But in this case it was a
man who was accused. What disturbed me greatly was not the outcome of the trial
- that the man would be burned, that was a foregone conclusion -it was the
pretense of justice. One of the most difficult things to be borne in life is to
cope with unfairness and injustice. It grates. But I will not be burned at the
stake. I will cope for I take my bearing from that witches trial and the fate
of that unfortunate man.
