By John Wear - August 5, 2018 marks the one year anniversary of Ernst Zündel’s passing. He was essentially kidnapped from the U.S. and forced to remain in Germany. His wife, Ingrid Rimland, was unable to leave the U.S. to be with him. She risked jail time in Germany despite having no previous criminal convictions.
His crime? Ernst Zündel was deemed a “security threat.” Not because he was ever violent or ever incited violence, but because he created a legal precedent in which:
For the first time ever, “Holocaust” survivors and “Holocaust” historians were closely and critically questioned under oath about their claims and views.
Few Canadians realize that Zündel did them “a favor by wiping off the books [the] disgraceful False News laws” strangling free-speech. 1/

What They Do Not Tell You About The Life And Work Of Ernst Zündel
An adapted extract from revisionists.com
Ernst Zündel (1939-2017) was a German-born publisher, author and civil rights activist, who emigrated to Canada at the age of 19. He became a successful graphic artist, with his work appearing, for example, on the front cover of Canada’s national news magazine, Maclean’s. Setting aside his thriving career, he dedicated himself to the great task, as he saw it, of redeeming the sullied reputation of his fellow Germans.
For seven years he was held behind bars, first in Canada and then in Germany, solely for the peaceful expression of non-conformist views. For some time he was the most prominent political prisoner in the western world.
Zündel was an outgoing, good-humored man who was blessed with a rare combination of unflagging optimism and practical ability. He was perhaps best known as the defiant defendant in the much-publicized “Holocaust Trials” of 1985 and 1988. He was brought to court in Toronto on a charge of “publishing false news,” and specifically for publishing a reprint edition of a booklet entitled Did Six Million Really Die?
Zündel’s two lengthy trials were something close to full scale debates on the Holocaust issue.
For the first time ever, “Holocaust” survivors and “Holocaust” historians were closely and critically questioned under oath about their claims and views.
To wage the legal battle that was forced upon him, he brought together an impressive international team of researchers, legal specialists, scholars, and many others. From numerous libraries and archives in North America and Europe, this group assembled at the “Zündelhaus” in Toronto one of the most extensive collections of evidence anywhere on this chapter of history.
Among those who testified on Zündel’s behalf in the trials were Robert Faurisson, David Irving, Mark Weber, William Lindsey, Udo Walendy, and Bradley Smith. As a result of the two trials, an enormous quantity of evidence and testimony challenging the prevailing Holocaust narrative was presented to the court and thereby was made part of the permanent public record. Perhaps the most important evidence was the historic testimony of American gas chamber expert Fred Leuchter concerning his on-site forensic examination of the alleged extermination gas chambers in Poland.
Zündel was found guilty in the 1985 trial, but the verdict was set aside by the provincial appeals court. It ruled that the judge in that trial had, among other things, given improper instructions to the jury, and had improperly excluded defense evidence. At the conclusion of the second Zündel trial in May 1988, a jury declared him guilty. A few days later, he was sentenced to nine months imprisonment.
French scholar Robert Faurisson wrote at the time:
"Zündel may once again go to prison for his research and beliefs or be threatened with deportation. All this is possible. Anything may happen when there is an intellectual crisis and a realignment of historical concepts of such a dimension. Revisionism is the great intellectual adventure of the end of this century. Whatever happens, Ernst Zündel is already the victor.”"
On appeal, Canada’s Supreme Court threw out the 1988 conviction, declaring on August 27, 1992, that the archaic “false news” law under which Zündel had been tried and convicted was a violation of the country’s Charter of Rights. This was more than a personal vindication by Canada’s highest court; Ernst Zündel secured an important victory for the rights of all Canadians.
His next great legal battle was fought before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal [which operates outside of normal legal standards] in Toronto. The charges, instigated by Jewish groups, accused Zündel of promoting “hatred or contempt” against Jews through the “Zündelsite” website operated by Ingrid Rimland from the United States. In this legal action, as the Tribunal’s presiding Commissioner declared, the truth or validity of the supposedly “hateful” items was not a consideration. (Ultimately the Tribunal declared the “Zündelsite” to be unlawful, but because it is based in the U.S., the ruling has been unenforceable).
During the 42 years he lived in Canada (1958-2000), Ernst Zündel was never convicted of a crime. He was, however, repeatedly a victim of violence and hate. He survived three assassination attempts, including by arson and pipe bomb. Even Irv Rubin, the American Jewish Defence League leader, was caught breaking into Zündel’s home with a member of the “Jewish Armed Resistance Movement” who had previously claimed responsibility for one of the arson attacks. He also endured years of legal harassment and repeated imprisonment.
After more than four decades in Canada, including a failed effort to acquire Canadian citizenship, Zündel moved to the United States. On February 5, 2003, Ernst Zündel was arrested at home in the mountain region of eastern Tennessee. U.S. authorities seized him on the pretext that he had violated immigration regulations, or had missed an interview date with U.S. immigration authorities, even though he had entered the U.S. legally, was married to Ingrid Rimland, an American citizen, had no criminal record, and was acting diligently, and in full accord with the law, to secure status as a permanent legal resident.
After being held for two weeks, he was deported to Canada. For two years — from mid-February 2003 to March 1, 2005 — he was held in solitary confinement in the Toronto West Detention Centre as a supposed threat to national security.
His arrest and detention generated widespread media attention. A few Canadian newspapers and several independent analysts acknowledged the injustice of his incarceration. The country’s most prestigious daily, the Toronto Globe and Mail, affirmed in an editorial (“Zündel doesn’t warrant a security certificate,” March 6, 2004) that he posed no risk to people or property, and that he was being held unjustly on a bogus “guilt by association” pretext.
He has never been charged with a violent crime and does not urge others to commit violence,” the editorial noted. “The real danger to Canadians,” it concluded, comes not from individuals like Zündel, “but from a government that casually discards their most precious rights.”
In another editorial (“The Zündel Case,” Oct. 23, 2004) the influential paper called Canada’s treatment of Zündel an “abuse of the secret-trial legislation.”
Bill Dunphy, a veteran investigative journalist and editor for the daily Hamilton Spectator, also protested the injustice. He spent six years probing Canada’s “white supremacist” movement, and got to know Zündel well. Although he has no sympathy for Zündel’s views, in a hard-hitting column (Hamilton Spectator, May 14, 2003) he told readers:
"Our government has seized and branded Ernst Zündel, stripped him of his human rights, tried him in secret and found him wanting, and will now hand him over to a foreign government anxious to throw him in jail" …
… "Zündel – who did this country a favor by wiping off the books our disgraceful False News laws – has never once been convicted of a criminal offense in this country, never once found to have violated the hate crime laws that rest snugly around the throat of free expression in this country."
"Calculating correctly that there was no political cost, no ‘down side’ to slipping on the jackboots to kick a reviled old man out of our country, our government cobbled together their best insults and innuendo, and Lord knows what secret ‘evidence,’ and branded Ernst Zündel a threat to national security."
"I know this man, his local and international contacts and I know this movement. And after reading the 58-page ‘unclassified’ summary of the government’s case, I can assure you there is no justice here. Their ‘evidence’ is riddled with errors and misinformation, hearsay and inflammatory innuendo. Dead men walk again, and the shattered bits of shoddy secret networks long since collapsed under the weight of their own ineptitude are made whole and menacing once again. It is a shameful piece of dishonest, unreliable tripe.”
Zündel was held in Canada not because his views are unpopular, or because he was a “security risk.” He was in prison because Jewish groups wanted him there, and because he promoted views that the Jewish-Zionist lobby considers harmful to its interests.
This lobby was the decisive, critical factor in the decades-old campaign to silence him. The only sustained and institutionalized effort in Canada to imprison Zündel came from this lobby, which includes the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Canadian Holocaust Remembrance Association, and the League for Human Rights of B’nai B’rith (Canada’s counterpart to the U.S.-based “Anti-Defamation League”).
On March 1, 2005, Zündel was deported to Germany, just as Jewish groups had been demanding. Upon his arrival at Frankfurt airport, he was immediately arrested and taken to Mannheim prison to await trial for the “thought crime” of “denying the Holocaust.”
A few months later the public prosecutor in Mannheim formally charged Zündel with inciting “hatred” by having written or distributed texts that “approve, deny or play down” genocidal actions carried out by Germany’s wartime regime, and which “denigrate the memory of the [Jewish] dead.” …. The 14 specific violations cited by the court included postings on the U.S.-based “Zündelsite” website. The court thus upheld efforts by German authorities to punish individuals for writings that are legal in the country where they are published. Jewish groups quickly, and predictably, expressed approval of the verdict.
Zündel was released from prison on March 1, 2010 — five years after his deportation to Germany, and three years after his conviction by a court in Mannheim. Banned from returning to either Canada or the U.S., he went to his family home in Germany’s Black Forest region, where he resided until his death. Unable to leave the U.S. and be with him, his wife Ingrid Rimland died two months later.

Ernst Zündel: Unbowed
A personal Telling Films tribute by Lady Michèle Renouf to German-Canadian artist, publisher and dedicated campaigner for historical truth Ernst Zündel, born 23rd April 1939, died 5th August 2017 at his ancestral home in southern Germany. Uniquely interviewed as he was released from Mannheim Prison in 2010 and during his journey back to his childhood home in the Black Forest, and updated in this unexpurgated version after Ernst Zündel's death, this film documents his decades of legal struggle for source-critical justice in Canada and Germany, literally illustrated by Ernst's own art works created during his years of imprisonment, and includes an interview with his lawyer Dr. Herbert Schaller.
F
I remember 12 years ago when I used to read rense daily, Ernst was a big deal and his ordeals where posted about daily including his court cases in canada and when he was extradited to germany.
Ernst Zundle is a hero and im NOT surprised all the free speech faggots in canada neither look up to him nor even mention him and everything he did or went through.
Zündel dedicated his life to spreading the truth, we will make sure his efforts were not in vain.
F
And here come the Jews again trying reinstate fake news laws
what were the fake news laws?
Don't be a victim. Learn how to fight back against pesky, predatory Jews
Bump for Ernst Zundel, a champion of truth in this Age of Lies.
bump for Zundel, but I am wondering - is he by any chance half Jewish? I've heard rumors about it.
stop that
Why was Zundel never murdered?
I just want the old /zundel/ back tbh
I still have no clue.
Hasbara 101 - the kikes say every individual or organization that speaks out against them or their policies is secretly a jew - - they said that about Hitler (even after a thorough post-war biographer said no, and published Adolf's birth certificate in a best selling book), and ((they))) say it about everyone whose against them.
In fact, I got called a jew here on Zig Forums at least three times in the last week or so for posting anti-jew comments.
You haven't 'arrived' if the kikes haven't called you a jew.
Isn't it comical though? The kikes know they're so evil and use their own name as a slur for others.
There is no free speech movement in Canada. I found that our years ago when the Karla Homolka “publication ban” was being subverted through the internet. (That case was all kinds of Mason fuckery and the “tapes” were blackmail used to double-cross Bernardo, who was a mob accountant and cigarette smuggler.)
Good OPSEC and a dead man’s switch most likely.
This.
I know, please hold on man. One of these days, DOTR, even if 20-30 years from now, I'll start it myself if it hasn't started already.
my only gripe with zundel is that he's an actual neo-nazi
I heard that, too, but does it disprove a single one of his words? He looks like my grandpa on my mom's side, and we're not kikes. Also:
Soon…
He never called for a holocaust.
He said the jews that lied need to pay back the money they have stolen with interest.
Sounds more legal minded than genocidal.
What makes him a neo nazi?
What would be wrong in believing the ideology anyway? If jews and muslims can be genocidal genital mutilators with a penchant for pedophilia, why can't other brutal ideologies exist?
To the point answer: no.
Sounds like you are using jew terminology without knowing anything about the matter. That term could be ascribed to anyone for any reason by the enemy and their tools; in the end it means nothing because it can mean anything.
Ever had a conversation with a Jew about (the farce known as) the holocaust? It's easy to redpill jews, and in particular it's really easy to redpill Israeli jews about it - just use this VIDEO of less than three minutes time.
The Transfer Agreement - which the Jews in Zio-land call the Haavara Agreement was official 3rd Reich Government Policy where Jews were rounded up and surprisingly not gassed but instead merely sent to Palestine - - with all their wealth intact.
Israelis know about this, sometimes even from family experience. When you bring it up to them they can no longer maintain the fiction known as da Shoah.
They try to change the subject or end the conversation. They leave in defeat.
There were no gas chambers. Video proof in 3 minutes.
why not just scrape the archives and have it again?
There is a constant parade of naive normies who need only to be shown the simple truth about da Shoah.
Basic information about this global jew lie and the endless kikery that accompanies it might seem repetitive to you or me, but it's "all new" to other people, new people, and awakens them.
RIP TO A GREAT MAN
He fought for years for his freedom of speech, all while honoring the memory of his father that was in the SS. Ernst Zundel will be revered for years to come in NatSoc circles.
NEVER FORGET IT WAS THANKS TO THE BRAVERY OF ERNST ZUNDEL THAT WE GOT THE LEUCHTER REPORT
Rest in peace, Mr. Zundel. May God bless his soul. I have just seen his interview with Tom Cherington against that kikess Citron and my God are these fucking cunts running with emotions instead of facts. Every time he shuts them up with backed up documents the fag goes "Commercial break!"
This is fascinating. Up until now I had my doubts involving the validity of the "Holocaust," but now, I do believe fully that it was all a Jewish hoax. Thank you for sharing this.

Dr. Ingrid Rimland Interviewed by Ernst Zundel (1998)
"Frau Rimland tells the story of her people - German Mennonites who, during the 1780's, were Invited by Katherine the Great (House of Romanov) to settle within the Ukraine to establish a German community of Master-Farmers amidst the Russian / Ukrainian peoples . . The terrors experienced by the community during and after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the implementation of jewish Communism . . Her father's denunciation by Communists and subsequent exile . . What was left of her family near the beginning of WWII narrowly escaping exile to Siberia due to the arrival of the German Army . . The Soldiers of the Wehrmacht re-opening the CLOSED-DOWN Church buildings ( . Synagogues, on the other hand, remained untouched by the alien "authorities") . . Her grandmother, mother, and her having to flee west with the retreating Wehrmacht once the tide had turned against them during the Big Freeze. . And eventually meeting Herr Zundel in Canada . . ."
Rimland and Zündel later got married. She passed two months after Ernst Zündel…
Relevant bump
Dubs confirm.
I always make sure to put the umlaut in Ernst Zündel's name. I feel like not dong so is subtlety disrespecting the man in some way.
F
It's also acceptable to write it as Ernst Zuendel if you don't have umlaut on your keyboard.
Or just go to his article on Wikipedia and copy + paste his name from there. It's the only thing Wikipedia is good for.
