To the Editor
Mr Masanori Nishioka concluded from his research, as I did, that the alleged homicidal gas chambers in Auschwitz or other German camps never existed and he gave his arguments ; whereas O.J. Cohen believes right away that those gas chambers existed, but does not give us even one argument. He contents himself with insulting us. Obviously, he never read the few revisionists he mentions and whose names he distorts not less than on six occasions. He does not mention Paul Rassinier, the founder of revisionism, a Frenchman put into German concentration camps during the war as a Resistant and a man who had helped the Jews, nor does he mention Professor Michel de Boüard who had also been put in such a camp as a Resistant and a Communist and who became, after the war, a University professor who took the defense of the revisionist point of view. Other revisionists are J.G. Burg (Germany), R.G. Dommergue (France) and D. Cole (USA), all of Jewish origin. But let's not engage in such peripheral considerations. One must address the real issue : the historical and scientific problem of the Nazi gas chambers. People who accuse Germany of having used such extraordinary chemical slaughterhouses should bring the evidence of their accusation. To begin with, they should do something that, in fact, for half a century, they never did : they should give us a physical representation of the weapon allegedly used by the Germans, along with a clear and complete explanation of its technique and operation. For physical, chemical and technological reasons we consider that this weapon cannot even have existed and functioned. A free public debate becomes necessary. I am ready for such a debate in Tokyo.

We see the act of displaying a written document on Internet as
the equivalent to displaying it on the shelves of a public library.
It costs us a modicum of labor and money. The only benefit accrues
to the reader who, we surmise, thinks by himself. A reader looks
for a document on the Web at his or her own risks. As for the
author, there is no reason to suppose that he or she shares any
responsibilty for other writings displayed on this Site. Because
laws enforcing a specific censorship on some historical question
apply in various countries (Germany, France, Israel, Switzerland,
Canada, and others) we do not ask their permission from authors
living in thoses places: they wouldn't have the freedom to consent.
We believe we are protected by the Human Rights Charter:
ARTICLE 19. <Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.
