The Indictment


In translation, the fresh indictment of Historian David Irving by the 
Mannheim District Court (case ref:(4) 5KLs 7/95), dated July 6, 1995, reads:

Criminal case against David Irving for incitement for race hatred etc.

"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 Fuhrer 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 Deuuchmarks 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."
