Representative Quotes from Holocaust Deniers
Robert Faurisson
"The alleged Hitlerian gas chambers
and the alleged genocide of the Jews form one and the same historical
lie, which permitted a gigantic financial swindle whose chief beneficiaries
have been the State of Israel and international Zionism, and whose
main victims have been the German people and the Palestinian people
as a whole."
as quoted by the Guardian Weekly, April 7, 1991.
Mark Weber
"Don't for a minute think that indoctrinating
wide-eyed school children with the lies and slanders against Germans,
Slavs, Catholics, Christians, Europeans, and whites in general isn't
a primary purpose of the Holocaust-mongers. ... The Holocaust is
a religion. Its underpinnings in the realm of historical fact are
non-existent -- no Hitler order, no plan, no budget, no gas chambers,
no autopsies of gassed victims, no bones, no ashes, no skulls, no
nothing.... Secondly, it's a religion for losers.... Suffice it
to say that the rise of religions such as this generally coincides
with the decline and fall of nations which tolerate them."

"It [the Holocaust] is something like
a religion.... The Intellectual Adventure is that we are reversing
this entire trend within the space of one generation -- that in
a few years time no one will believe this particular legend anymore.
They will say, as I do, that atrocities were committed. Yes, hundreds
of thousands of people were killed, but there were no factories
of death. All that is a blood libel against the German people."

"When I get to Australia
in January I know what is going to happen. They are going to wheel
out all the so-called eyewitnesses. One in particular, Mrs. Altman,
I've clashed with once or twice. She is very convincing. They can
be very convincing. Because they have to do it so often over the
years. They've had a free run. We're going to meet because she has
that tattoo. I am going to say,'You have that tattoo, we all have
the utmost sympathy for you. But how much money have you made on
it! In the last 45 years! Can I estimate! Quarter of a million!
Half million! Certainly not less. That's how much you've made from
the German taxpayers and the American taxpayers.' Ladies and gentlemen,
you're paying $3 billion a year to the State of Israel. Compensation
to people like Mrs. Altman. She'll say,'Why not, I suffered.' I'll
say you didn't. You survived. By definition you didn't suffer. Not
half as much as those who died.... They suffered. You didn't. You're
the one making the money. Explain to me this. Why have you people
made all the money, but Australian soldiers who suffered for five
years in Japanese prison camps haven't got a bent nickel out of
it!"

Ernst Zündel
"The mere fact that you belong
to a certain ethnic group makes you eternally guilty, according
to the twisted logic of Zionism. If Germans who were not even born
before 1945 must pay reparations to the State of Israel, which did
not exist until 1948, then you can be included in the Zionist racket
of reparations and revenge."

"Rabbis normally come from a sophisticated
urban intellectual background, which encourages a self-righteous
contempt for the views and sensibilities of those who don't, hypocritical
betrayal of proclaimed ideals to disguise true motives, and a rejection
-- for self-serving ends -- of any kind of good will or even civility
towards those with whom they disagree."
