The last word on the Auschwitz gas chambers, October 24, 2004
This review is from: The Rudolf Report: Expert Report on Chemical and Technical Aspects (Holocaust Handbooks Series, 2) (Paperback)
I am surprised to see this book has not been reviewed. Perhaps it is not selling well, as it is available for free as a PDF download from the author's web site.
The Rudolf Report totally destroys the assertion that the Nazis operated homicidal gas chambers in the Auschwitz/Birkenau camp complex. The writing is factual and expository, and the style is matter-of-fact, but the conclusions are inescapable. Some half-hearted attempts have been made to refute Rudolf's work, but none have made any inroads into the core of his case: chemical analysis of the buildings and ruins at the camp disprove the thesis the cyanide gas was used inside the alleged gas chambers.
The author has been prosecuted and convicted, and is now in prison in Germany, for the very act of writing this book.
I heartily recommend this work for it's veracity and relevance.

Every College Bookstore in Germany Should Carry it!, November 6, 2006
This review is from: The Rudolf Report: Expert Report on Chemical and Technical Aspects (Holocaust Handbooks Series, 2) (Paperback)
But they Can't. This book is BANNED in Germany. This is the first book that the author was sentenced in absentia back in 1993. It has never been refuted, Actually it has been confirmed by world-renowned chemists as accurate. Germar Rudolf sits in jail asking the simple question:
What sort of Truth is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth?

Astounding Work of Scholarly and Forensic Investigation, June 5, 2009
This review is from: The Rudolf Report: Expert Report on Chemical and Technical Aspects (Holocaust Handbooks Series, 2) (Paperback)
As other reviewers have stated, this book will certainly put to rest any lingering belief one might harbor that the Birkenau crematory could possibly have been used as execution chambers. The evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. Rudolf summarizes and catalogs the past several dozen years' work by other revisionist scholars, and presents it coherently, engagingly, and with powerful effect.
This is just a remarkably thorough piece of work. One is amazed at the energy and intellect of Mr Rudolf, and this book makes a fascinating read, even if you are already a convinced denier or revisionist.
I had heard of it some time ago but hesitated getting a copy, assuming it would simply re-hash and at best elaborate upon the Leuchter material, which I had already discovered and found credible. But the additional elements that Rudolf has contributed, take Leuchter's work (and others) far beyond what I had imagined might be possible. Rudolf is quite a research-hound, and in this book he has come up with all kinds of nuggets I had never known about.
I was also a bit wary, too, because Rudolf is a German-trained chemist, and I feared a highly technical (boring) or prosaic style of presentation. But the experience turned out just the opposite. The quality of writing is brisk, often amusing, yet polished, and of such competence for the genre, that it is a pleasure to read for its own sake--apart from the monumental historical importance of his conclusions.
Thus the supreme irony of his current circumstance could not be more stark. In a sane world, Mr Rudolf would be the toast of historical academicians, but instead, he IS toast-- his life and career having been wrecked by a vicious smear and prosecution campaign which hounded him out of his native Germany, pursue him across the Atlantic to the U.S., extradited him, and finally sent him to prison several years ago (where his release is now imminent, thank God).
Such a pity also that Mr Rudolf reportedly will no longer continue his revisionist writings. Undoubtedly this promise was required as a condition of his parole.
The holocaust is now irretrievably exposed as a fraud.
For that matter one can see similar grand deceptions being unmasked these days: the 9/11 lie that skyscrapers fall without demolition; the lie of WMD in Iraq, the lie of innocence in the U.S.S. Liberty attack, the JFK/Lee Harvey/RFK triple murders; and the global financial swindle we are witnessing. Lies and propaganda rule this world and apparently have for a very long time. But we should be grateful for courageous souls like Mr Rudolf and others, who love the truth and are willing to say it, though they pay the price for writing it.
