Christie presented Professor Robert Faurisson as a defense witness, who claimed that the Holocaust and gas chambers are historical lies. He recounted his visit to Auschwitz, asserting that the crematorium was a reconstruction without soot. Faurisson challenged the figure of six million Jewish deaths during World War II, suggesting a range of 200,000 to 350,000, citing the International Tracing Service as his source. He argued that the "Final Solution" was territorial rather than extermination-based and pointed out that the existence of survivors contradicted claims of a systematic policy to work Jews to death. Faurisson stated there is no document signed by Hitler ordering mass murder, attributing the perpetuation of these figures to Israeli and international Zionist interests for financial gain from Germany.

Rudolf Verba, an Auschwitz escapee, testified about the camp's operations. His memoir was challenged in court by Ernst Zundel's lawyer, Doug Christie, who questioned the accuracy of Verba's claims. Verba admitted to dramatizing events in his book, "I cannot forgive," calling it a work of literature. The jury heard varying death estimates for Auschwitz, with Verba estimating 2.5 million deaths. Christie accused Verba of using memory techniques to maintain consistency in his lies. The cross-examination was intense, with Christie questioning Verba's memory and motives. Verba acknowledged that his book was based on multiple eyewitness accounts. Translation: Rudolf Verba, un fugitivo de Auschwitz, testificó sobre las operaciones del campo. Su memoria fue desafiada en la corte por el abogado de Ernst Zundel, Doug Christie, quien cuestionó la precisión de las afirmaciones de Verba. Verba admitió haber dramatizado eventos en su libro "No puedo perdonar", llamándolo una obra de literatura. El jurado escuchó estimaciones de muertes variadas para Auschwitz, con Verba estimando 2.5 millones de muertes. Christie acusó a Verba de usar técnicas de memoria para mantener la consistencia en sus mentiras. El contrainterrogatorio fue intenso, con Christie cuestionando la memoria y los motivos de Verba. Verba reconoció que su libro se basaba en múltiples testimonios de testigos presenciales.

The defense lawyer for Ernst Zundel challenged Holocaust expert Dr. Raul Hilberg's testimony, questioning his belief that Adolf Hitler personally ordered the extermination of Jews. Hilberg stated Hitler's order was verbal, with the wording unknown, calling it a gap in history. The defense lawyer questioned Hilberg's reliance on a former SS officer's claims, some of which the lawyer deemed incredible, such as Hitler witnessing gassings and 25,000,000 Jews being killed. Hilberg admitted omitting these points from his book. Hilberg also stated that there is no single report about gas chambers. He said he couldn't swear there's correspondence to prove it.

A former German army officer testified for the defense, stating he arrived at Auschwitz in 1944 and only learned of mass Jewish deaths after the war. He claimed the camp was clean and described it as a happy work environment where he studied synthetic rubber production. According to him, there was no smell of burning flesh or evidence of gas chambers.

Zundel's defense team was informed that facilities in Poland could not support gas executions. Samples were taken and facilities were examined, concluding they were not suitable due to design flaws. Survivors' testimonies were questioned as lacking validity. No eyewitness reports were found to support gas chamber claims.

Ernst Zundel, President of Sammis Lab Publishers, discusses his involvement in the reprinting of the booklet "Did 6,000,000 Really Die?" and his subsequent trial for Holocaust denial. He presents the testimony of Ivan Lagasse, a crematory expert, who challenges the claims of the Holocaust by explaining the process of cremation and the limitations of the crematory units. Lagasse states that the high numbers of cremations alleged at Auschwitz-Birkenau are physically unrealistic and scientifically unsupported. He also refutes claims of a stench from burning bodies and the ability to determine the ethnicity of the victims based on the color of the smoke. Zundel concludes that the standard version of the Holocaust is a hoax and encourages further research on the topic.

Defense lawyer challenges Holocaust expert's testimony on Hitler's involvement in extermination orders. Expert admits lack of concrete evidence for gas chambers in concentration camps. Questions raised about credibility of sources in expert's book on Jewish deaths during WWII. No definitive proof of gas chamber existence found in reports.

During the trial of Ernst Zundel, the defense lawyer challenged Holocaust expert Dr. Raul Hilberg's testimony, questioning his belief that Adolf Hitler personally ordered the extermination of Jews. Hilberg stated Hitler's order was verbal, with the exact wording unknown, calling it a gap in history. The defense lawyer questioned Hilberg's reliance on a former SS officer's claims, some of which were omitted from Hilberg's book due to their incredibility, such as Hitler witnessing gassings and the claim that 25,000,000 Jews were killed. Hilberg admitted there is no single report proving the existence of gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps, nor correspondence to prove it.

Mister Zundel's defense team examined facilities in Poland to determine if they could have supported gas executions. They found the facilities lacked necessary features for gas chambers, such as gasketed doors and proper ventilation. The design flaws made it impossible for the facilities to have been used for gas executions. Eyewitness reports of gassings were deemed unreliable, as there was no concrete evidence to support their claims.

Ivan Lageis, an expert in crematorium practices, testified about his experience as an embalmer, funeral director, and crematory manager/operator. He had worked with over 10,000 bodies and personally cremated over 1,000. Lageis used flowcharts and fire bricks to explain the cremation process. He then addressed claims about cremation capacity at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Referencing Raoul Hilberg's estimate of over 4,400 bodies per day in 46 retorts, Lageis stated this was preposterous. Based on his experience, he testified that a maximum of 184 bodies per day would have been possible. Regarding claims of 6,000-24,000 cremations per day, Lageis stated that such claims were irresponsible and physically unrealistic. He concluded that science dares to say the Holocaust, as we have heard it, is basically a hoax.

American industrial chemist Dr. William Lindsey testified about Zyklon B, stating its dangerous properties necessitate careful handling. Regarding a previous witness's claim of handling corpses shortly after gassing, Dr. Lindsey stated this was highly unlikely. He claimed mass gassings, as described, were impossible and that no one was willfully killed with Zyklon B in this manner. Dr. Lindsey also disputed earlier testimony about flames constantly emanating from crematoria chimneys, asserting such intense heat would cause the chimneys to collapse.

The speaker was to visit Auschwitz with the BBC to point out issues with the accepted narrative of the Holocaust. The speaker claims there are no holes in the roof of the gas chamber at Auschwitz 1, contradicting eyewitness accounts. They also point to a glass pane in the door and a gap under the door as evidence against it being a gas chamber. The speaker questions the logistics of cremating 450,000 Hungarian Jews in three weeks in May 1944, stating it would require 45,000 tons of meat to be disposed of. They claim that either a pit the size of several football fields would be needed for burial, or tens of thousands of tons of coke would be needed for cremation, and that aerial photographs do not show evidence of either. The speaker also questions why the gas chamber door has a handle on the inside. They claim the building was built by the Poles in 1948, after World War II.

I went to Poland to inspect the gas chambers, expecting to find evidence of gas executions. To my surprise, I found nothing at Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek. I had believed in their existence for over 40 years, but now I can't accept what isn't there. Despite numerous eyewitness accounts, I was disheartened to discover that the facilities I expected to see do not exist. There are no films or documentation supporting the claims of gas execution chambers. It's hard to reconcile this with what I've been taught.

The speaker asks why there is no trace of poison gas from Auschwitz’s gas chambers in the buildings today, noting that no historians had demanded tests on the fabric of the gas chambers. The buildings survived partly and are now in ruins, with some structures more or less intact. In 1988, during a Canadian trial involving Ernst, defense lawyers decided to send an expert in gas chambers to Auschwitz. Fred Leuchter was sent to test whether the Nazi gas chambers would work and whether there was any trace that they had been used, including residue of cyanide gas in the walls. He returned with an affidavit for the court, later published as the Leuchter Report. Forensic testing was carried out on 48 samples that Leuchter brought back to the United States. Brickwork samples were submitted to forensic laboratories at Cornell University. The results showed that in 47 of the 48 samples there was not the slightest significant trace of cyanide compound. In the 48th sample, there were colossal traces of cyanide. The explanation given is that the sample containing heavy cyanide had been taken from a small gas chamber used for disinfecting clothing, where mice and vermin were treated. Clothing was stuffed into a chamber that looked like a gas chamber, with a steel door and racks similar to equipment used for weeding clothing in and out. The speaker highlights that opponents had argued there would be no cyanide expected in brickwork after fifty years due to wind and rain, but claims the walls could still show residue. The speaker says photographs show blue staining on the walls of that little gas chamber, indicating cyanide seepage through brickwork. The speaker also describes a German chemist who, at age 28, worked as a research chemist at the Max Planck Institute and wrote a dissertation on the permanence of cyanide compounds in brickwork. After completing the dissertation, it was circulated in printed form to 2,000 professors of chemistry who confirmed that what he had written was true. The traditional enemy later identified what he did, and he was dismissed from his position at the Max Planck Institute. The speaker says published letters show pressure on the Max Planck Institute to dismiss him for allowing his scientific report and dissertation to be published under German laws restricting free speech. The chemist was then sent to prison for fourteen months for allowing his chemical results to be circulated in Germany.

Doctor William Lindsey, an American industrial chemist, testified about Zyklon B, the gas allegedly used to kill Jews at Auschwitz and other camps. He emphasized the dangers of Zyklon B and the need for careful handling. When questioned about a previous witness who claimed to have handled corpses shortly after gassings, he deemed it highly unlikely. Regarding mass gassings, he stated it was impossible for them to have occurred as described, asserting that no one was intentionally killed with Zyklon B in that manner. Additionally, he challenged earlier claims about flames shooting from crematoria chimneys, explaining that such conditions would damage the brick and mortar structure.

The speaker questions the claim that six million Jews perished in German concentration camps during World War II. They cite gas chamber doors that allegedly didn't lock, some made of wood with glass windows, arguing they weren't airtight and would have harmed the guards. They mention Fred Lukter's analysis of Auschwitz gas chamber walls, which supposedly found no cyanide residue. The speaker highlights the existence of soccer teams, a theater, sewing rooms, and swimming pools in the camps, questioning why these would exist if extermination was the goal. A 1944 International Red Cross report allegedly found no evidence of extermination installations at Auschwitz. The speaker claims Jewish population records before and after the war show no significant change. They state that autopsies on 270,000 bodies found the cause of death was typhus and starvation, not poison gas. They allege some cremation smokestacks had no soot and one chimney wasn't connected to the building. The speaker concludes that evidence was manipulated for propaganda and that questioning the Holocaust is taboo because the narrative falls apart under scrutiny.

Professor Robert Faurisson testified in defense of Ernst Zundel, stating his research led him to believe the Holocaust and gas chambers are historical lies. He recalled finding no soot on a crematorium smokestack at Auschwitz, which he claimed was a reconstruction. Another scholar testified that the number of Jewish deaths in World War II is far less than commonly believed. Faurisson disputed the figure of 6,000,000 Jewish deaths, claiming there's no proof of even one gas chamber and estimating casualties between 200,000 and 350,000, citing the International Tracing Service as his source. Faurisson testified that the "final solution" was a territorial solution, not extermination, and the existence of camp survivors disproves a policy of working Jews to death. He stated there's no document with Hitler's signature ordering mass murder, attributing the belief that 6,000,000 Jews died to rumors and anti-German propaganda. He accused the state of Israel and international Zionists of perpetrating this "historical lie" for financial gain from German reparations.

Dr. Raul Hilberg, a renowned Holocaust expert, testified in the trial of Ernst Zendel and admitted that there is no scientific report proving the existence of gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps. He also stated that he couldn't confirm if any reports corresponded to the use of gas chambers. During cross-examination, Zendel's lawyer, Douglas Christie, questioned Hilberg about the credibility of eyewitness testimonies and the difficulty of assessing them after 40 years. The trial attracted a large audience, with people lining up outside the district court building to attend.

During cross-examination, Christie questioned a key witness about his time at Auschwitz. The witness, Arnold Friedman, admitted he never saw mass executions, only guessing at what happened. Christie suggested bodies burned were from disease, not genocide. He challenged Friedman's claims of seeing smoke and flames from the crematorium, stating cremation doesn't produce such effects. Christie aims to challenge beliefs about the Holocaust.

In the afternoon, a former German army officer, Theiss Christofferson, testified for the defense. Christofferson was posted to Auschwitz in 1944. He claimed he only heard of mass Jewish deaths there after the war and that he never saw evidence of mass gassings. Christofferson testified that Auschwitz was a clean and happy work camp. He stated he was there in 1944 studying the production of synthetic rubber and talked to inmates almost daily. Testifying through an interpreter, Christofferson said the air at Auschwitz was very clean, with no smell of burning flesh and no evidence of gas chambers.

Ivan Lageys, a crematorium expert, discussed the cremation process and refuted claims about the capacity of crematories at Auschwitz Birkenau. He stated that the numbers claimed were physically unrealistic based on his experience, with a maximum of 184 bodies possible to cremate in a day. Lageys criticized claims of 6,000, 8,000, and 24,000 bodies being cremated daily as irresponsible and not based in reality, suggesting that the Holocaust may be a hoax.

Proofs of the Holocaust are few: 'Literally, all there is are the eyewitness testimonies and postwar confessions. There's no picture, plan, or wartime document dealing with homicidal gas chambers or a plan to exterminate the Jews.' After intercepting transmissions from Auschwitz, the speaker argues that the evidence has normal explanations: hair, shoes, and clothing reflect lice control and issued uniforms; Zyklon B was used to disinfect clothes and buildings; the typhus epidemic demanded strict lice control. Allied aerial photos of Auschwitz 'do not show people being gassed or bodies being burned.' He describes a building with four holes in the ceiling; revisionists say they were added later. 1988 Fred Lucher tests showed gas-chamber samples with 'almost no appreciable traces,' Krakow 1990 tests 'got back the same results.' The conclusion: 'there are no eyewitnesses because there were no gassings.'

Rudolf Verba, an Auschwitz escapee, testified about the death camp in the Ernst Zundel trial. Zundel's lawyer, Doug Christie, challenged Verba's 1964 memoir, "I Cannot Forgive," which claimed Auschwitz had a killing capacity of 12,000 per day, double his 1944 report. Verba admitted to dramatizing incidents in the book, calling it an artistic representation. Christie questioned Verba about a human gassing demonstration for Heinrich Himmler described in the book. Verba stated the book was literature, not history. Death estimates for Auschwitz varied, with Verba estimating 2.5 million, a document expert claiming 1 million, and the Polish government alleging 4 million. Christie accused Verba of using memory techniques to maintain consistent lies regarding his mental record of daily deaths. Christie challenged Verba's memory and motives, questioning why his estimate of deaths at the camp doubled in his book compared to initial statements. Verba admitted his book was a compilation of eyewitness reports.

Defense witness Ditleid Felderrer compared himself to Voltaire, defending free speech. He visited Auschwitz 27 times, claiming to find amenities like a swimming pool, banquet room, sauna, and dance hall. He called a crematorium a Hollywood set. Ernst Zindel used Felderer's research in his work. During cross-examination, Felderer read from leaflets mocking the Holocaust and gas chambers, for which he faced prosecution in Sweden.

An American chemist, Dr. Lindsay, testified about the dangers of Zyklon B gas allegedly used in Auschwitz. He disputed claims of mass gassings and bodies being handled after gassing. Dr. Lindsay stated it was impossible for people to be killed with Zyklon B as described. He also refuted testimony about flames shooting out of crematoria chimneys, saying it would cause them to collapse.
