description: Here’s the long-awaited, uncensored inside story from the “thought criminal” himself—Germar Rudolf. Rudolf was a highly respected chemist with a promising career—a graduate of the Max Planck Institute— who was convicted of Holocaust denial and spreading hatred through his books and websites. He was deported from America back to his native Germany where he served 2.5 years in prison. He served 2.5 years in prison in his native Germany.At the author's trial, fellow Holocaust deniers with their "scientific evidence" were barred from giving evidence although he argued that peaceful dissidence was well within the law.The court was hardly moved by Rudolf’s arguments. It sentenced him to 30 months imprisonment and ordered Rudolf’s opus magnum, his Lectures on the Holocaust, to be confiscated and burned under police supervision. In addition, the public prosecutor initiated another criminal investigation against Rudolf, because he had tried to publish his defense speech from his prison cell.After Rudolf had served his full prison term, he was released from prison in the summer of 2009 but also put under a three-years lasting “conduct supervision” by the German authorities. Finally the author was able to publish this book containing the lies and twisted "evidence" that he used as his defence speech at his trial.
