Should he be qualified, he will be testifying at the end of April of next year. It examines claims that during World War II, the German government of Adolf Hitler pursued a policy of extermination against Europe's Jews and that under this policy some six million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers built for the purpose, in such camps as Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, Buchenwald, and Dachau. They have, however, presented considerable evidence to show that there was no German program to exterminate Europe's Jews, that claims of mass killings in gas chambers are untrue, and that the estimate of six million Jewish dead is insupportable on the evidence. The Power Letters are newsletters and the ZGrams are Internet columns which, for the most part, give comment and opinion on revisionist and current news topics. He will testify that Holocaust revisionism is a legitimate part of the normal ongoing reevaluation of history that naturally occurs as new documents and other evidence become available, and in light of new interpretations and insights.
Revision is particularly necessary for the events of wartime.
The emotional disturbances and distortions in historical writing are greatest in wartime. All scholars acknowledge that this is the goal of legitimate scholarship, as opposed to propaganda, and that such scholarship has inherent worth and value to society. He will testify that scholarly historical writing by its nature speaks of nationalities, ethnic groups and religions, as these are primary organizational or structural patterns of human society. One cannot intelligently discuss the fate of the Jews in World War II without referring to them as a group, because actions were taken against them as a group. Weber will testify that there is no substantive evidence that Holocaust revisionism has exposed Jews to hatred or contempt anywhere in the world.
