Meet Fritjof Meyer.
Fritjof who?
Herr Meyer was top editor of German weekly magazine
Der Spiegel, a sort of German Time Magazine, but more profound, more content and more interesting, although it is still a left wing rag.
Nevertheless, Herr Meyer gave the Holocaust a good thought and came up with startling conclusions regarding the Auschwitz labor camp (or 'extermination camp' here at JREF): it did not happen as alleged, the numbers of death in his eyes were greatly exaggerated.
Herr Meyer wanted to publish his findings in Der Spiegel itself, but the content was considered too sensitive and Meyer had to step aside to a less well known periodical: OstEuropa-kunde. Still, this magazine was under the aegis of none less then Rita Suesssmuth, let's say the German Tipp O'Neill, speaker of Parliament.
Here is the article as it appeared in Ost-Europakunde and since 'languages' is not your thing I have posted the
English version (with gleeful comments from Irving for free).
So what happened? Was Herr Meyer a closet Nazi? Hardly. Normal Germans in his position would have risked to go to jail for it, not Meyer. He belonged to the left wing establishment. And more important, although his first name sounds like a God from a Scandinavian Pantheon, his family name is Jewish. Somewhere he says that his family was in Auschwitz, probably not as a paying visitor to that communist fabricated exhibition. A group of German right-wingers even tried to get him sentenced for 'holocaust denial', to no avail.
What Meyer does is throwing away all conventional 'knowledge' about the 'gassings' and comes up with 2 farmhouses where the gassings are alleged to have been taken place. Meyer reduces that number of gassed people to some 350,000.
Irving is jubilant:
THIS was precisely the position that I adopted in the Lipstadt Trial: that there had been NO mass killings in Krema II, and any gassings that did occur were in the so-called "bunkers" outside the camp.
Read carefully: Irving doesn't say that gassings did occur, just that
if there were any gassings, it must have been there.
Revisionists correctly saw this as a major breakthrough, an event interpreted as an attempt by Meyer to save from the Holocaust what was left after the assault by the revisionist.
Note that by transferring the imagined gassings to a farmhouse that doesn't exist anymore, he cleverly prevented all sorts of 'Neo-Nazi's' travelling to these farm houses and scratch some grit from the walls in order to subject it to chemical tests.

Go East young man, go East,
the West is dying.
