Carlo Mattogno, a specialist in text analysis and critique, is the world’s most prolific and knowledgeable Holocaust scholar. Born in 1951 in Orvieto, Italy, he now lives with his family in a suburb of Rome. In his youth, he carried out advanced linguistic studies in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Starting in the 1980s, Mattogno visited many former concentration camps (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Stutthof, Dachau, Gusen, Mauthausen, Gross-Rosen, Buchenwald, Lublin-Majdanek, Płaszów, Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibór, Ghetto of Terezin), and conducted thorough research in numerous archives mainly in central and eastern Europe. Particularly fruitful were his visits to several Moscow archives in the 1990s, which hold a vast documentation on Auschwitz as captured by the Red Army toward the end of WWII. This documentation has been the basis of Mattogno’s sizeable number of special studies on the former Auschwitz camp.Even orthodox Holocaust scholars, who usually shy away from quoting revisionist publications like the devil avoids holy water, consider some of Mattogno’s research valuable. For instance, the German official Institut für Zeitgeschichte (Institute of Contemporary History) in Munich quotes Mattogno’s book on the Central Construction Office in one of its tomes (N. Frei et al., Standort- und Kommandanturbefehle des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz 1940-1945). The German historian Ernst Nolte was impressed by Mattogno’s work, due to which he conceded that, with respect to “their mastery of the source material and especially in their critique of the sources,” the revisionist studies on the topic “probably surpass those of the established historians in Germany” (Streitpunkte, Frankfurt/Berlin 1993, p. 304). And Jean-Claude Pressac, once the orthodox historian’s hero for his attempts at refuting revisionists, characterized Carlo Mattogno as “the best revisionist researcher” (“Entretien avec Jean-Claude Pressac,” in: Valérie Igounet, Histoire du négationnisme en France, Paris 2000, p. 642).In spite of – or maybe due to – his impressive list of scholarly works on the topic, Mattogno remains largely ignored by the mainstream, though, which may also be a result of his writings not being accessible online in an orderly way, as Carlo Mattogno does not have a homepage. Hence, you would never find out about his work if, for example, you took the “information” published by sites like Wikipedia at face value, whose English page on Mattogno, while being vituperative, is completely silent about his comprehensive work. (The Italian section is much more detailed.)
In their book Denying History, Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman, who claim to refute “Holocaust deniers,” completely ignored the vast amount of scholarly revisionist studies. Instead, they falsified, contorted and misinterpreted the historical record. This book lays it all bare.
This book gives an overview of the many rumors, myths and lies about Auschwitz spread during and right after the war, which mainstream historians today reject as untrue. It then explains by which ridiculous methods some claims about Auschwitz were accepted as true and turned into “history,” although they are just as untrue.
The Monowitz Camp near Auschwitz was the Third Reich’s largest and arguably most infamous forced-labor camp. After the war, it was the focus of one of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals. This trial concluded that tenth of thousands of inmates in that camp were systematically worked to death. This book analyzes pivotal documents to reconstruct the Monowitz Camp’s history, then juxtaposes this with over 140 witness testimonies presented at that Nuremberg trial. While the orthodox Monowitz narrative is dominated by a few hand-picked witness claims, the present study finally puts the history of the Monowitz Camp on a solid documental basis, supported by many testimonies. It rings in the end of the “extermination through labor” paradigm.
After the war, the Soviets arrested four leading engineers of the Topf Company. Among other things, they had planned and supervised the construction of the Auschwitz cremation furnaces and the ventilation systems of the rooms said to have served as homicidal gas chambers. Between 1946 and 1948, Soviet officials conducted numerous interrogations with them. This work analyzes them by putting them into the context of the vast documentation on these and related facilities. The appendix contains all translated interrogation protocols.
Nagging is easy. We actually did a better job! That which is missing in Czech’s Chronicle is included here: day after day of the camp’s history, documents are presented showing that it could not have been an extermination camp: tens of thousands of sick and injured inmates were cared for medically with huge efforts, and the camp authorities tried hard to improve the initially catastrophic hygienic conditions. Part Two contains data on transports, camp occupancy and mortality figures. For the first time, we find out what this camps’ real death toll was.
The deportation of the Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in May-July 1944 is said to have been the pinnacle of this camp’s extermination frenzy, topped off in August of that year by the extermination of Jews deported from the Lodz Ghetto. This book gathers and explains all the evidence available on both events. In painstaking research, the author proves almost on a person-by-person level what the fate was of many of the Jews deported from Hungary or the Lodz Ghetto. He demonstrates that these Jews were deported to serve as slave laborers in the Third Reich’s collapsing war economy. There is no trace of any extermination of any of these Jews.
The evaluation of many interrogation protocols exposes inconsistencies, discrepancies and contradictions. British interrogating techniques are revealed as manipulative, threatening and mendacious. Finally, technical absurdities of gas-chambers and mass-gassing claims unmask these tales as a mere regurgitation of hearsay stories from other camps, among them foremost Auschwitz.
It is claimed that at Treblinka Camp, between 700,000 and 3,000,000 Jews were murdered in 1942 and 1943. The weapons used were alleged to have been stationary and/or mobile gas chambers, poison gases of both fast acting and slow acting varieties, unslaked lime, superheated steam, electricity, diesel exhaust fumes… This thorough study exposes the Treblinka hoax…
This study investigates whether the alleged homicidal gas chamber at the infamous Dachau Camp could have been operational. Could these gas chambers have fulfilled their alleged function to kill people as assumed by mainstream historians? Or does the evidence point to an entirely different purpose? This study reviews witness reports and finds that many claims are nonsense or technically impossible. As many layers of confounding misunderstandings and misrepresentations are peeled away, we discover the core of what the truth was concerning the existence of these gas chambers.
In 1995, under the title “We Wept without Tears,” Yad-Vashem Historian Gideon Greif published a collection of interviews he had recently conducted with former Auschwitz inmates who claimed to have been members of the “Sonderkommando”. This book critically reviews the statements made by these inmates (Josef Sackar, Abraham and Szlama Dragon, Jaakov Gabai, Shaul Chasan and Leon Cohen). In addition, the memoirs published in the 1990s and early 2000s by Shlomo Venezia and of a number of Greek Jews, all of whom claimed to have been members of the “Sonderkommando,” are being critically reviewed.
