Stand by for a Zundel Holocaust Trial # 3, to be fought on the soil of Germany.
Even though communication between me and Ernst is now severely
restricted, I can give you the exact dates of when Ernst's trial will
start. For now, five days have been reserved in November. They are:
Tuesday, 8 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M. -
Wednesday, 9 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Tuesday, 15 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Wednesday, 16 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Thursday, 24 November 2005 - 9:00 A.M.-
Just a few days ago, I received the text of these charges in
German - 14 points. Those who are able to read these charges with an
open mind, will know they are an indictment not against Ernst Zundel
who speaks the truth as he found it and knows it, but against a
country that prides itself on being a "democracy".
1. The bulk of the charges pertains to documents that have been
posted on the Zundelsite for some 8 years, translated into several
languages. They are introductory essays ( "Holocaust 101" ) to
Holocaust Revisionism and come in eight languages. You can read for
yourself what they say if you are so inclined. (

2. A few of Ernst's "Germania" letters sent to his world-wide network
of friends and supporters are also found politically objectionable.
These letters were legal in Canada, where most of them were written,
thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in 1992 giving Ernst the right to
say what he believes to be the truth, and they are legal in the
United States, based on the First Amentment to the Constitution.
They were NOT written in Germany, where draconian laws are locked in
place that serve the State of Israel and not the German people.
I don't know anything beyond this document outlining Ernst's
political "sins". I will keep you updated to the extent that I hope
to be updated on developments.
I should also add that an arrest warrant in Germany has been sworn
out against me as well, which means that I will not be able to attend
the trial in Germany.
So we are gearing up for yet another round. It will be yet another
burden on my time and drain on our resources. It is also an
important step forward.
Stand by for a Zundel Holocaust Trial # 3, to be fought on the soil
of Germany.

I conclude with a few comments from Ernst on this upcoming
trial, gleaned from various letters to me.
I have had no more mail since I was notified that my case has been
taken over by the Landgericht, which as first order of business
decided to restrict my incoming and my outgoing mail by what amounts
to a 90% reduction. This allowed me to go through every document (I
assume!) that the government is marshalling against me. Since I am
still uncertain what I am allowed to say about things, let me be
general in comments:
Remember how useful court cases have been in the past - for instance,
when in 1981 during the postal hearing I got to see the letter of
Simon Wiesenthal, which started all these years of persecution?
Well, this time we hit the Motherlode, and Bruce [our immigration
attorney who handles our suit against the U.S. government] will be
able to add a few names to the depositions.
I found it a very painful process because I am tired of the subject,
but it seems my fate is that I have to go through this rigmarole
(sp?) one more time. With hard work we will produce a shocking
documentation, and that will be useful.
I was up at 4:30 a.m., and I have been studying and preparing for the
trial and had to relive my life and my struggle, almost as if in a
film - and, kiddo, was it one steady grind! I am now amazed and in
awe of myself that, like a sleepwalker, I walked through the
minefields of my enemies! I now have ample, ample confirmation of
the accuracy of my intuition!
Remember when I used to be "soul-upset", when I used to think there
was something wrong with my kids? It was the you-know-whats,
scheming and meeting and interviewing people. We suspected all along
- except it is worse! But we were right on the money most of the
time!
I also read and am astonished at the millions of words spoken,
written, and typed - alone the typing was heroic. I also note with
sadness how many of our friends have fallen by the wayside, now very
elderly. And many, many died.
The whole exercise is like a standing on one of those Tribünen, and
instead of troops marching past, it is one's life passing by in front
of me for review. When I see the superhuman effort in the face of
such unmitigated callousness and unfairness, I can only conclude that
some extraordinary dynamism made me sustain all of this.
I am going through those mountains and mountains of documents and
it's an upsetting task because it shows a huge amount of work by
thousands of bureaucrats of all stripes who have been officially
confronted with the results of my work. Yet when you read their
comments and analyses, it is not the least reflected that it impacted
on their thinking and attitudes about Germany's role. So we deny
ourselves what is called a normal life and happiness, while these
people, whom we try to shield and protect, attack us from behind
without any appreciation our work deserves. There has to be a way to
break through this log jam.
There are shocking things going on!
What we are dealing with are very, very complex issues, especially in
Germany as it tried to pick itself up by its own bootstraps out of
incredible pulverization. It's like trying to reassemble the
constantly changing little pieces of a kaleidoscope being slowly
turned, with its pieces tumbling and shifting. Compare these pieces
to the forces in society, all climbing over each other, all juggling
interests, wants, desires, personal ambitions, greed, corruption, all
the powers of lobbies, open and hidden, the secret societies, cults
and sects which have been around for hundreds, maybe thousands of
years!
The last century was the culmination and the beginning of that
never-ending process of "historification" where, as soon as something
is spoken or written, it's like a bullet out of a rifle barrel on its
own trajectory - gone, unleashed, aimed or randomly heading
somewhere. Seeing in these many, many thousands of pages how
thoughts and words impact on people's lives, on societies'
functioning - that is one hell of a realization!
In the end, the overall thoughts, concepts and goals are lost in the
minutiae of bureaucrats filling in papers, of the statements of
snitches and paid agents, of little petty thieves giving false
testimonies which then careen through history's corridors, hitting
this and that. You add to that the vendettas of minorities, pyramid
climbers in society's bureaucracies, in the spy services, in the
legal systems, the police forces, the corridors of power, elected and
unelected. Ingrid, add to that the betrayals of friends and of
wives, jilted girl friends, of revenge being extracted for imagined
hurts never inflicted, yet treated as if real!
What unfolds before one's eyes is psychohistory, a drama with
constantly changing actors and storylines and constantly changing
stage sets, only part of which are visible. The cranes, wires,
pulleys, carpenters, painters behind the scenes are invisible, but
very, very real to the unfolding of the play, which is unfolding
history.
The study of these documents have made me realize that - with
sledge-hammer-like impact!
If all this sounds weird to you, sitting on our balcony, looking down
our beautiful valley, I can understand you might shake your head and
maybe say, "What on earth is Ernst talking about?" Well, it is that
I am at the center of these unleashed, countervailing forces -
pushing, shoving, climbing over each other, tugging, pulling me this
way and that.
I am punch-drunk [with fatigue] and must end the letter. I will
continue it tomorrow morning 5 a.m.
=====
Those are the words of the world's best-known political prisoner, my
husband and your friend. Since Ernst is prevented from giving me
specifics, I cannot give you specifics, but a little bird has told me
we can expect a few surprises. Please stay with me - you and I have
center stage, and it could well be that the last round has begun!
To my friends, a big thank you, straight from the heart! To our
enemies: Don't count us out! To the rest of the world: No
surrender!
Ingrid Zündel
