Holocaust liar caught lying at the Irving
trial

German Ho£ohoax promulgator—Professor Heinz Peter Longerich

Longerich was an expert witness at the 2000 Irving vs.
Lipstadt trial,
he was paid £76,195 for
his expert report and testimony by Lipstadt's
billionaire backers, but I bet they'd wished they'd saved
their money.

Longerich wrote in his report for the trial:

Jews deemed "fit for work" were as a general
rule not murdered immediately but selected either before the deportation, during
the course of the deportation (when trains were stopped near labour camps - for
instance in Lublin, near Majdanek or in Kosel, in Upper Silesia340) or at the
final destination, in particular in Auschwitz. Jews labelled "fit for work" were
usually subjected to heavy and exhausting labour under completely inhumane
conditions. Life expectancy for a Jewish prisoner assigned to hard labour was
generally only a few weeks, seldom more than a few months. The SS invented
the expression "annihilation through labour" (Vernichtung durch Arbeit) for this
method of exploiting people to the point of death. "Annihilation through
labour", along with murder by execution commandos and in gas chambers became an
important element in the comprehensive murder programme of the SS.
His report, part V, subsection:
7

Longerich also claimed in the witness box that
annihilation
through labour was a Nazi term and the Nazi
policy

Well, they started in the concentration
camps a programme which they called "extermination through work". So they used
hard labour as a tool, as a means to kill prisoners. Day 25, page

When pressed by Irving to provide proof the SS used the
term
'Vernichtung durch Arbeit" Longerich had to admit that he
lied:

IRVING: Can we be
absolutely specific and make quite plain for the record that this phrase
Vernichtung durch Arbeit is not a wartime phrase used by SS, but is a title of a
post-war book, a secondary source on which you relied, is that
right?

LONGERICH. No, this is one of the major studies about this problem
and it refers to a wartime phrase which was currently used among the SS.

IRVING. You
have not referenced the actual wartime document, you just referenced somebody's
secondary source, the title of a book?

LONGERICH. My report tries to explain how this system of
systematic murder was built up. Maybe it was
mistake, and also you did not have the chance
to ask me for more evidence for that a month ago, it was not my intention here
to explain in great detail the existing system of extermination after 1942,
because I thought that this is something which is generally acknowledged and
there is no major dispute about that. I am trying to explain that the building
up of the system mainly through the years 1940, 1941 and 1942. Then the system
is in operation and the annihilation through work is one aspect of this system.
I am referring to second-hand
literature. I did not go into detail here; I am
just referring to general works on this topic in which this is described in full
detail. Day 25, page
