Carlo Mattogno

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.)

The Making of the Auschwitz Myth

In this study, Carlo Mattogno shows how the myth of gas-chamber mass murder was created during the war and in the immediate postwar period, and how it has been turned subsequently into “history” by intellectually corrupt scholars who cherry-picked claims that fit into their political agenda and ignored or actively covered up literally thousands of lies of “witnesses” to make their narrative look credible. Carlo Mattogno has created yet another masterpiece of historical analysis of all the relevant source material upon which the orthodox Auschwitz narrative is based. And ist effect is devastating for the orthodoxy…

Curated Lies

The Auschwitz Museum is a mendacious organization, lying about the true nature of the Auschwitz camp both to millions of tourists – most egregious with manipulations to its main exhibit, the ‘Old Krematorium’ in the Auschwitz Main Camp – and to serious scholars – by way of obfuscating the true nature and meaning of documents in its archives. Here is the proof.

An Auschwitz Doctor’s Eyewitness Account

Nyiszli, a Hungarian physician, ended up at Auschwitz in 1944 as Dr. Mengele’s assistant. After the war he wrote a book and several other writings describing what he claimed to have experienced. To this day some traditional historians take his accounts seriously, while others reject them as grotesque lies and exaggerations. This study presents and analyzes Nyiszli’s writings and skillfully separates truth from fabulous fabrication.

Sobibor

Between 25,000 and 2,000,000 Jews are said to have been killed in gas chambers in the Sobibór camp in eastern Poland between May 1942 and October 1943. The corpses were allegedly buried in mass graves and later incinerated on pyres. This book investigates these claims and shows that they are not based on solid evidence, but on the selective use of eye-witness testimonies, which in turn are riddled with contradictions and outright absurdities. In 2000-2001, archeological surveys of the camp were initiated…

Commandant of Auschwitz

From 1940 to 1943, Rudolf Höss was the commandant of the infamous Auschwitz Camp. After the war, he was captured by the British. In the following 13 months until his execution, he made 85 depositions of various kinds, in which he confessed his involvement in the “Holocaust.” This study analyzes them all by checking Höss’s claims for internal consistency and comparing them with established historical facts. The results are eye-opening…

The Real Case for Auschwitz

Robert van Pelt is considered one of the most prominent experts on Auschwitz. In The Real Case for Auschwitz, Mattogno analyzes the evidence proffered by van Pelt. He shows that van Pelt misrepresents and misinterprets all of the evidence he adduces. This book is of prime political and scholarly importance.

Chelmno

An overview of the mostly unsubstantiated claims and their juxtaposition to provable facts about this camp, which is claimed to have been the first “pure extermination camp” operated by the Germans during WWII. Depending on the source, between 10,000 and 1.3 million people are said to have been murdered there mostly by noxious exhaust gases in hermetically sealed trucks (“gas vans,” see Vol. 26 of this series). This thorough study of primary sources lays this myth to rest…

Auschwitz Lies

What do Prof. G. Wellers, Prof. J. Markiewicz, Prof. J. Roth, Dr. R. Green, Prof. J. Zimmerman, and Prof. M. Shermer have in common? They all tried to refute the scientific findings of Holocaust revisionism — and they all failed. This volume discusses these and more authors and exposes their attempts at refutation as a mixture of scientific bungling and fraud…

Healthcare in Auschwitz

The Auschwitz Camp had sickbays and hospitals where thousands of inmates were cured. Since late 1942, the camp authorities, foremost the garrison physician Dr. Wirths, tried with all conceivable means to keep the Auschwitz inmates alive and healthy. This book is full of irrefutable documentary evidence for that.

Inside the Gas Chambers

Neither increased media propaganda or political pressure nor judicial persecution can stifle revisionism. Hence, in early 2011, the Holocaust Orthodoxy published a 400 pp. book (in German) claiming to refute “revisionist propaganda.” Mattogno shows with his detailed analysis of this work of propaganda that mainstream Holocaust hagiography is beating around the bush rather than addressing revisionist research results. He exposes their myths, distortions and lies. This book debunks basically every single gas chamber claim made for any of the German war time camps…
