"Dear
Mr Irving,
The Mannheim Prosecutor has charged you by indictment dated May 19, 1995
with Incitement to race hatred, Libel,and Defamation of the memory of the
dead. The basis for this charge is a lecture which you delivered on
September 2, 1990 in the Engelbrecht House at Weinheim on the Hergstrasse, in
the course of which it is alleged that you made the following remarks
- There were no gassings at
Auschwitz;
- The Führer knew nothing of gassings, nor could he, because there were
none;
- There were never any Gas chambers in
Auschwitz;
- In
Auschwitz less than 70,000 Jews died from epidemics and the like;
- There is now a gigantic Holocaust industry;
- The
gas chambers shown to tourists are dummies built by the Poles post-war;
- The German tax payers have had to pay around l 6 billion Deutchmarks as a
punishment for
Auschwitz, for a dummy.
- As the assistance of a defense attorney is mandatory in the first instance
at assize courts, I ask you to inform me within two weeks whether you will
be appointing an attorney authorised in the Federal Republic of Germany to
handle your defence, or which authorised attorney is to be assigned by the
court to you as a defence attorney. If such information is not received here
within the appointed time, the court will appoint an attorney of its own
choosing to defend you.
Yours faithfully,
The President, Nusselt, Presiding Judge at Assize Court."
