The Complete, Recorded Summit

Each Individual Contribution

ImageGermar Rudolf, a German national, has been critically investigating the Holocaust narrative since 1990. He is currently the manager of the U.S. free-speech lobby group Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (www.CODOH.com), lead editor of their periodical Inconvenient History, curator of the research series Holocaust Handbooks (currently 54 volumes), and author of 19 books, among them the Holocaust Encyclopedia.

1. Paper: “80 Years of Holocaust Skepticism: Whence We Came, and Where We Are
In its first part, this introductory presentation will give a brief overview of the history of Holocaust Skepticism, with a focus on crucial books and key events that shaped the development of this school of thought. In the second part, Rudolf will explain to the novice the main reasons why it is reasonable and in fact inevitable to be skeptical about the orthodox Holocaust narrative.”

2. Paper: see last entry, together with Carlo Mattogno

ImageFr James Mawdsley is a Catholic priest ordained in 2016. In opposition to COVID restrictions and ‘Traditionis custodes’, he was voluntarily suspended in 2022 until, God willing, the pre-1955 Holy Week, including the proper Good Friday Prayer for the Jews is publicly restored. His ten-part video series refuting the mainstream holocaust narrative may be viewed at: https://odysee.com/@tarsus:c

“1) Five impossibilities involved in the claim Treblinka was an extermination camp:

  • The mainstream holocaust account impossibly claims that more than 800,000 people were exterminated at Treblinka. This presentation examines five verifiable reasons why this cannot be true, and will proceed to demonstrate that Treblinka was not an extermination camp but a transit camp.
  • The collapse of the claim that Treblinka was a death camp brings down the entire holocaust narrative, showing how egregious and irrational the propaganda has been. A similar level of analysis can be applied to the other so-called ‘extermination camps.’

2) Making truth illegal and labelling rational thought a hate crime.

  • However, presenting balanced reviews of evidence and rejecting mathematical absurdities is of itself condemned as inciting hatred and violence against targeted persons.
  • Jews perceive free enquiry for truth as an assault, an existential threat. A tyrannical tension is created wherein all must denounce AH as the most evil leader in history or else be treated as crypto-genocidal.
  • Alarmingly, so-called ‘free societies’ have accommodated this psychosis. Holocaust deniers, even when eschewing any kind of violence, are shunned, cancelled and even prosecuted, simply because they openly reject the mainstream holocaust narrative.
  • Ursula Haverbeck. Jürgen Graf. — They are obviously rational and sincere. Personally I find their arguments so compelling that I agree with them. But even if one disagrees, how is it that good is called evil and evil is called good? Even the Church is falling for the inversion of truth here.

3) The Vatican repeating Jewish blood libels against Germans.

  • On 7th June 1979 close to Auschwitz, Pope John Paul II delivered a homily wherein he repeated the defamation that 4 million people were slaughtered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is egregiously untrue and the Vatican has never made a retraction. In the same homily, the Pope said Edith Stein died in a gas chamber. There is not a shred of evidence for this. (There were no gas chambers.) It is an egregious
    slander of the German authorities for the Church to make these allegations as if they are facts.
  • In 1995, on the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII, Pope John Paul II recalled his 1979 homily with approval, but made no corrections. It is past time for the Vatican to make a retraction.”

ImagePeter Rushton has been assistant editor of the magazine Heritage and Destiny since 2003 and is webmaster of the magazine’s website as well as author of the Real History blog. He has carried out a variety of tasks in the revisionist world, both in relation to Holocaust revisionism (including as organizer of Robert Faurisson’s last conference on the weekend of the Professor’s death in 2018), and concerning revision of other historical narratives including the British Empire’s war against Zionist terrorism. In the latter regard he co-organized and spoke at four successive annual conferences of the Forgotten British Heroes Campaign. He is a specialist in newly released records of the British intelligence services, both at the UK National Archives and certain private papers of British political and intelligence figures held at British university archives. See his websites at www.realhistory.info and www.heritageanddestiny.com.

THE DOGS THAT DIDN’T BARK: Heinrich Himmler and British intelligence in 1945
The task of revisionism takes many forms, including scientific analysis of what could or couldn’t have taken place in purported ‘gas chambers’; documentary analysis of lacunae in concentration camp records; and forensic legal-style analysis of the often bizarre and contradictory ‘survivor’ testimony. What can now be taken to ever higher levels, is revisionism via diplomatic history – and more especially the relatively new field of intelligence history. This paper will look at just three of the many important leads in this area.”

ImageBrother Nathanael Kapner, whose birth name is Milton Kapner but is more commonly known as Brother Nathanael, is a self-proclaimed “monastic with the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR)”. He has a staunch anti-Jewish stance and has a following on the internet via The Brother Nathanael Foundation and Real Jew News. He used to have a YouTube channel, but that was eventually banned.

“Raised by two Jewish parents, and attending Talmudic synagogue services and Sabbath School class from childhood, born in 1950, I would like to share my experiences with Jewish teachings on the so-called, ‘Holocaust.’ We never heard the word, but only as it pertained to the burnt offerings in the Old Testament. Every Jewish kid had the Encyclopedia Britannica, and in the 1953 edition there was a short sub-article by the Jewish Historian Jacob Marcus in his entry on World War II. He stated that political prisoners, mostly Jews that Hitler saw as communist sympathizers, were sent to ‘Work Camps’ to support the war effort. My father, a religious Jew, an intellectual, who served in Army Intelligence overseas in World War II, said that the Allied Bombings caused mass starvation not only in the Work Camps but as well in Potsdam and Dresden. My father also said there were no ‘gas chambers’ and that Zyklon B was used only to delouse, and not to murder anyone. He pointed out that the population of Jewry was larger in Europe by 1947 than in was in 1937. He emphasized that Germans are efficient people and would never waste time and money to exterminate Jews in such a costly manner with ‘gas chambers.’ The Holocaust propaganda did not start until after 1965 to show Jews as ‘victims’ so as to gain sympathy and financial and political support from US Congress. This is when my father gave his input to me on the so-called ‘Holocaust.'”

ImageLeo Walls is a relatively recent convert to Holocaust revisionism, as a young American man from a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant family, who by the age of 30 had traveled to all 50 United States and about 75 countries. He is also a bookstore owner, a former military air traffic controller, and a government contractor with a background in engineering and surveillance tradecraft – whose military installation access was revoked by the Department of Defense, following his identification and involvement with recent pro-White activism. He has spent a great deal of time around eastern Europe (throughout which the Holocaust supposedly occurred), reaching places like Chernobyl in Ukraine, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland. In his travels, he  has learned as much as he could from cultural and historic sites as well as locals themselves, whose stories often differed from narratives he was convinced of by his American public-school education. He had been somewhat aware of Jewry’s influence on American society (and the world) for much of his adult life, but it wasn’t until the past couple years that he seriously investigated Jewry, and soon thereafter realized their near-total dominance over his awareness on topics such as miscegenation, the importance of race, and the Holocaust narrative itself – a part of history that had previously seemed an unquestionable and undeniable to him, until it wasn’t.

“As a bookstore owner intimately familiar with many suppressed book titles and authors (as well as those authors’ forcibly unfavorable circumstances as persecuted dissidents), there develops an underlying yet commonly understood message when the presentation of truth consistently suffers immediate and blatant censorship. That message also comes from our friend Kevin Strom, who once said, ‘To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?’ When we look at the topics of books and types of activism that are censored or otherwise retaliated against, seemingly as a foremost priority, we become increasingly cognizant of what motives and agendas an organized group of people here on Earth must have. Thankfully, too, this exposes and reaffirms the truths that we’re discouraged from knowing about yet soon feel obligated to share with others – as if to have a complete opposite effect (more awareness) of what’s intended (complete silence). We also become aware of what is feared the most by this organized group: for all the world’s people to recognize them and their deeds and deceptions against us; how they play innocent victims of a fabricated crime they planned, helped orchestrate, and saved into history books. Further, it becomes undeniable to intelligent minds everywhere that a concerted agenda exists, one which weaponizes history, language, and empathy – dictating the cultural biases and awareness of entire societies, as much as it does in defining who the enemy is. Would the enemy be those insulted as neo-Nazis, White supremacists, domestic terrorists, hate organizations, and crazy conspiracy theorists (the ordinary people who genuinely care for truth and reveal themselves to you) – or would the enemy instead be those kept unseen and unmentioned?”

Lady Michèle RenoufLady Michèle Renouf (nee Mainwaring) is an international advertising model and actress, and Telling Films documentary maker. She also was a ballerina. A political activist, she was dubbed front page by the German Press as “the Mother Teresa of the Holocaust-deniers” because of her defense of David Irving, Robert Faurisson, Bishop Williamson, Germar Rudolf, Ernst Zündel, Ursula Haverbeck, the Schäfer siblings, and Frederick Toben. She spoke at the Tehran Revisionist Conference 2006.

“In 2008, I mobilised the legal defence team in London for Adelaide Institute founder Dr. Frederick Toben, which succeeded to prevent English Law from ‘harmonising with German Holocaust-denial law’ via the back door. I credit this unique legal victory indirectly to the late Austrian attorney Dr. Herbert Schaller, because of what I learnt while interviewing him in 2007, after he had achieved the release of David Irving on appeal out of a Viennese prison.”

ImageVincent Reynouard, born in 1969, is a French historian specializing in the Second World War who has been punished for violating France’s controversial “Gayssot” law by expressing dissident views about Twentieth-Century history. Reynouard studied in Caen, Normandy, and graduated as a chemical engineer. He then taught mathematics at professional secondary schools. However, in 1997 he was fired for political reasons by the French Education Minister, after the discovery of revisionist texts on the hard disk of the computer which he used at school. Since then Reynouard has survived on his writings as a historian. He is the author of several dozen essays or brochures on diverse subjects, mostly dealing with World War II. He is the author of a book about the Oradour-sur-Glane “massacre,” a clash in a French village in June 1944 between German SS troops and French Resistance fighters, in which 640 civilians died. Reynouard eventually emigrated to Great Britain, where he was arrested in late 2022 based on a French European-wide arrest warrant. After more than a year in prison while fighting his extradition, he was extradided to France in early 2024. He was released on bail shortly afterwards, awaiting further criminal proceedings for his activities while in Britain.

“Some people imagine that Holocaust propaganda is orchestrated by Zionists to justify Israel’s existence, guarantee its impunity, and collect reparations. Certainly, those motives exist. But beyond Zionism, the Holocaust memory is used to condemn any nationalist ideology, serving globalism’s broader interests.”


ImageAndrew Allen is a San-Fransisco-Bay based real-state lawyer who has been involved in Holocaust revisionism  since the late 1970s, most notably due to his successful defense of German immigrant Martin Bartesch, whom the OSI tried to frame with fraudulent evidence in an attempt to deprive Bartesch of his U.S. citizenship, and deport him back to his native Germany.

Andrew Allen presented along with Heinz Bartesch (see next entry).


ImageHeinz Bartesch is the son of Martin Bartesch, a German soldier of WWII who emigrated to the U.S. after the war. The OSI (the FBI’s “Nazi”-hunting special department) tried to have Martin Bartesch deported to Germany, but ultimately lost this legal battle. Having experienced firsthand the vicious mendacity of the Jewish Holocaust lobby, Heinz Bartesch subsequently turned revisionist. He was a long-term supporter and board member of CODOH.

“In Take It Where You Find It: The American Dream, Earned and Stolen, Heinz H. Bartesch takes readers on a deeply personal journey through the turbulence of 20th-century history. Born in a refugee camp in Austria, Heinz’s story begins with his family’s escape from the ravages of war-torn Transylvania, where they were caught in the chaos of World War II. The Bartesch family, rooted in the resilient community of the Siebenbürger Saxons, faced unimaginable hardships as they navigated displacement, survival, and the weight of historical trauma. The book delves into the author’s reflection on his heritage, the events that shaped his identity, and the struggles of a people displaced by forces they never chose to encounter. From the grief of family loss to the devastation of war, Heinz maps out his beloved parent’s journey of resilience, survival, and the indomitable will to find a place in the world. Their journey leads them from rural Transylvanian villages to the bustling streets of Chicago, as they rebuild their lives and create the American dream, only to have it taken away from them 32 years later. A captivating memoir that weaves together history, personal reflection, and the ongoing search for identity, In Take It Where You Find It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. It is a call for reconciliation, the reclaiming of lost histories, and the universal quest for a better life against all odds.”

ImageDavid Skrbina (sker-BEE-na), PhD, was a senior lecturer in philosophy at the University of Michigan, Dearborn from 2003 to 2018. He has also taught graduate courses in Technology and Sustainability at the University of Helsinki. His areas of interest include philosophy of mind, eco-philosophy, philosophy of technology, and environmental ethics. His most recent book is the expanded, 2nd edition of The Jesus Hoax (2024).

The Early Origins of Revisionism
Like any movement advocating radical change in received worldviews, Holocaust revisionism needs to retain an awareness of its beginnings and origins, in order to be a well-grounded and forward-looking progressive concept. Most researchers cite the work of Paul Rassinier as perhaps the ‘founder’ of revisionism, and in many ways, this is justified.  However, his work rested upon earlier writing—in particular, that of British journalist Douglass Reed and American professor John Beaty.  Reed’s 1943 book, Lest We Regret, contains the earliest known articulation of systematic doubts about the then-emerging Holocaust story.  Specifically, he was skeptical of the widely-circulated claims of ‘extermination’ of Jews in Germany.  A follow-up book, Far and Wide (1951) elaborated on some of this and included a specific targeting of the ‘6 million’ claim for Jewish fatalities.  At that same time, Beaty’s book Iron Curtain Over America included a parallel attack on that infamous number using published data on Jewish population, and as such, constitutes the first numerical critique of the 6 million.  In this presentation, excerpts from all three writings will be discussed, as will the connection to the later work by Rassinier.”

ImageCarlo Mattogno, a specialist in text analysis and critique, is Italy’s, if not the world’s, foremost Holocaust scholar. Born in 1951 in Orvieto, Italy, he has carried out advanced linguistic studies in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He is the author of a vast number of books and papers about the Holocaust. He lives with his family in a suburb of Rome.

Presenting together with and by Germar Rudolf:
Open Questions for Revisionist Research on the Holocaust
As one generation of high-profile revisionist researchers reaches advanced ages, a younger generation moves in. With vast research done in the past, we old folks would like to point the youngsters in a direction where we think the focus of future efforts of research into uncharted territories should be. Carlo, with his 40+ years of archival research under the belt, would like to see one future focus on the question of where undocumented deportees ended up, and what their ultimate fate was. He also suggests further chemical studies on the chemistry of Auschwitz. Germar Rudolf, with his 35+ year of dedication to the subject, concurs with Carlo on the latter, albeit with a different perspective. Having encountered several white spots when writing his Encyclopedia, Rudolf moreover has compiled a long wish list of items he considers neglected, some of them by both sides of the aisle. Among them are several crime locations, the background and conduct of trials where the current narrative was cast in legal stone, and certain sets of documents and document collections hitherto barely or not at all scrutinized.”

Background

Back in the summer of 2025, the ARMREG Holocaust Academy announced the 2026 ARMREG Holocaust Academy Summit, to take place in early 20026. The purpose of the Holocaust Academy Summit was and will be to give all those who are concerned about the dogmatization and political misuse of Holocaust historiography a forum to present their research results, opinions and views to an online community.

The use and misuse of the Holocaust Dogma for belligerent and atrocious politics in the Middle East, and for the suppression of freedom of speech in Western countries, has become increasingly apparent to millions around the globe. Never before have the masses been so receptive for critical, skeptical views on how history is misused and distorted for political ends. The number of people willing to challenge the West’s last standing taboo has skyrocketed. The general public is ready to confront openly and unabashedly the orthodox Holocaust narrative. Therefore, the time for a conference is now ripe.

The event was originally planned to unfold on January 27, which in 2005 was dedicated by the United nations’ General Assembly as “International Holocaust Remembrance Day.” However, on that day in 2026, after having received legal threats from the French organization LICRA, the company hosting the servers used by the platform FTJMedia.com – which was to stream the event – simply switched off the server and cancelled the hosting contract without advance notice. Hence, we regrouped, rescheduled and tried again some ten days later, on February 7, this time without any (successful) interference from anyone. On the right are posted screenshots and links to various podcast interviews Germar Rudolf gave in the weeks leading up to the original event date, explaining what he envisioned for this upcoming summit.

Our live-streamed virtual conference began on February 7th, 2026, 8:45AM Eastern US time zone. The Summit was hosted on FTJMedia.com via live stream. Participants could ask questions by chipping in at least $10 in a traditional superchat format. Attendees were encouraged to read through the FTJMedia FAQs to become familiar with the platform. https://ftjmedia.com/menu/f_a_q_

Paper Submissions Were Requested for the Following Three Topics:

  • Holocaust and History: Taboo between Dogma and Dissent.
    For this section, papers should focus on the actual historical record: on the various ways this event has been defined by historians; on findings – new and old – correcting the established record and our understanding of it; on how Holocaust historiography has been revised over time by both orthodox and skeptic scholars.
  • Holocaust and Politics: History as a Weapon
    For this section, papers should focus on the use and misuse of the Holocaust for political ends: to immunize fashionable minorities from critique, push certain political agendas, instigate wars, and excuse or even deny ongoing genocides.
  • Holocaust and Human Rights: History as a Muzzle
    For this section, papers should focus on the misuse of the Holocaust to disenfranchise unfashionable minorities, limit free speech, burn books, incarcerate dissidents. Papers are welcome on individual fates of dissidents, on situations in specific countries, on general issues of civil rights threatened by historical taboos, and on the creation of “satellite taboos” with subsequent censorship metastasizing from the central Holocaust taboo.

We plan on publishing the “2026 Holocaust Summit Proceedings” (as paperback and a free eBook edition) with all presentations included. We request (this is optional) that, for inclusion in these Proceedings, all speakers submit a written paper based on their presentation by the end of March 2026 at the latest. It should be limited to 60,000 characters (no counting foot-/endnotes). All speakers agree to have their presentation, or, where submitted, written paper included in the upcoming printed “2026 Holocaust Summit Proceedings” without any royalties paid.
