Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. On Tuesday, April 11, 2006, the revisionist publisher Pedro Varela was arrested at his Libraria Europa bookstore in the Catalan capital for "defending and justifying genocide" by publishing books such as Joaquin Bochaca's Mito[Myth] de los 6 miliones and, strangely, "putting in danger the security of foreign states." [!?] (Bochaca is an author frequently published by The Barnes Review.) Five hundred books were seized in the raid. Varela was under arrest from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday, when he posted bail. Varela is subject to 5 years in prison if convicted. Ironically, one book he is accused of publishing is a standard, classic 1971 work on the subject of race and IQ by the great scientist Hans Eysenck, Race, Intelligence and Education, published in the U.S. as The IQ Argument. Eysenck, a German who left the Third Reich in the 1930s out of opposition to its policies, authored 50 books and 900 academic articles, and was one of the most highly regarded scientific psychologists in the world. His book Race, Intelligence and Education was even carried until eight or nine years ago by the biggest supermarket chain in Spain, El Cortes Ingles, owned by the Jewish Koplovitz family. The federal prosecutor for Barcelona who caused his arrest is a Mr. Mena, a former Maoist who is now a "democrat." Varela has had previous contacts with the "justice system" of his country, as well as that of Austria, thus he is a "recidivist," which may affect the outcome of his current indictment. He was arrested first in December 1996 on similar charges of defending genocide. Twenty thousand books plus other items were seized and later ordered burned. On November 16, 1998 a Spanish court sentenced Varela to five years imprisonment for "incitement to racial hatred" and for "denying or justifying genocide." The sentence was Spain's first conviction for "Holocaust denial." It is based on the country's 1995 anti-genocide and anti- discrimination law. Until 1995 Spain had been both an oasis of freedom of speech and a land of political asylum for nationalist patriots on the run such as the Belgian Leon Degrelle, the German WWII officers Otto Remer and Otto Skorczeny, and the Austrian revisionist publishers Walter Ochensberger and Gerd Honsik. It was the shining exception on a darkened European continent where so-called "hate speech" and so-called "Holocaust denial" everywhere else had been made illegal. Spain until then had seemed a lasting haven of peace and freedom for patriots worldwide. There were the long-standing right-wing and politically incorrect traditions of both Catholic Spain, a nation that famously expelled its Jewish population in 1492, and more recently of the Franco dictatorship (1936-1977), which was allied with National Socialist Germany and after the war, remained fiercely anti-communist and pro-Catholic. However, on May 11, 1995 the Spanish parliament revised the country's criminal code by creating the crimes of "justifing genocide" and "promoting racial hatred." Signed into law by Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez and King Juan Carlos, the preamble of the 1995 legislation claimed that revisionist books lead to violence: — 2 — THE REVISIONIST CLARION / 20 / Spring 2006 "The proliferation in several European countries of incidents of racist and anti-Semitic violence, carried out under the flags and symbols of Nazi ideology, obliges the democratic states to take decisive action to fight against this." Thus it was to fight violence that black-garbed police ninjas seized the historian and publisher Pedro Varela and hauled him off to jail.

On Tuesday, prosecutors in the western city of Mannheim said Germar Rudolf and Siegfried Verbeke were accused of "systematically" denying or playing down the Nazi genocide of Europe's Jews in documents and on the internet, and of stirring anti-Semitic hatred. Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany. It carries a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment. Rudolf, 41, published a study claiming to prove that the Nazis did not gas Jews at the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was deported to Germany from the US in November, to serve a 14-month prison sentence for a 1995 conviction on similar charges. Verbeke, 64, was arrested in the Netherlands and also extradited to Germany in November. Prosecutors in Mannheim are leading a similar, but unrelated case, against Ernst Zundel, a German deported from Canada last year. 18 April 2006 http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1918387,00.html See also http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1918387,00.html Germany offers to help open records of Holocaust Washington. Germany said yesterday that it will help clear the way for opening records on 17 million victims of the Nazis, a major step toward ending a long battle over access to a vast and detailed archive from that era. German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries said her country would work with the United States to ensure the opening of the archives, which are held in the German town of Bad Arolsen, and allow historians and survivors access to 30 million to 50 million documents. Until now, Germany had resisted providing access to the archives, pointing to privacy concerns. The announcement, made at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, came after a decades-long effort by Holocaust survivor groups and several countries to gain wider access to the archives. In a meeting yesterday, Zypries said Germany had changed its position and would immediately seek revision of an 11-nation accord governing the archives. The 10 other countries must also formally agree if the records are to be opened, a process she said would take no more than six months. Edward B. O'Donnell Jr., the State Department's special envoy for Holocaust issues, said he was encouraged, but he added, "We still have negotiations to do." The next step is a meeting in Luxembourg on May 15, when all 11 countries would have to reach a consensus. In some instances, parliaments would have to approve the archives' opening as well. Opening the archives would enable many survivors and families of victims of the Nazis to find out with more certainty what happened to their relatives. "We are losing the survivors, and anti-Semitism is on the rise, so this move could not be more timely," said Sarah Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Museum. For 60 years, the International Red Cross has used the archived documents to trace missing and dead Jews and forced laborers, who were systematically persecuted by Nazi Germany and its confederates across central and eastern — 3 — THE REVISIONIST CLARION / 20 / Spring 2006 Europe before and during World War II.
