–This airing we have Fred Leuchter joining us. Fred is a Holocaust examiner, researcher, analyst and debunker. Until the late 1980's, Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., was the foremost expert on the design, construction and maintenance of hardware, including homicidal gas chambers, used to execute convicted criminals in the United States. After receiving a Bachelor's degree (in history) from Boston University in 1964, Fred did postgraduate work at the Harvard Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Fred holds patents on the design of sextants, surveying instruments and optical encoding equipment. Fred is an accomplished pianist and an NRA-qualified small-arms instructor. Fred is perhaps best known as the author of four controversial forensic reports on alleged German wartime extermination gas chambers. Fred designed and maintained gas chambers for several U.S. penal institutions. The "Holocaust" is often characterized as the greatest crime in the history of mankind. Yet for 44 years not a single forensic investigation into this alleged crime has ever been undertaken. This changed in 1988, when Fred A. Leuchter, at that time the only U.S. expert for execution technologies, was asked by German-Canadian Ernst Zündel to go to Poland and investigate the facilities in the Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek camps which are claimed to have served as chemical slaughterhouses for hundreds of thousands of victims—also called "gas chambers." Fred changed the course of history when he concluded in his report that the locations investigated "could not have then been, or now be, utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers." This first report had caused a huge controversy and triggered a landslide of new research. Subsequently Fred also went to other camps, where mass murder with poison gas is claimed to have happened (Dachau, Mauthausen, Hartheim). Fred then wrote a similarly devastating report which concluded "that there were no gas execution chambers at any of these locations." This study was accompanied by an annotated bibliography about published claims regarding these three alleged locations of mass murder compiled by Dr. Faurisson. In a third expert report, Fred described in detail the technique of execution gas chambers as used in the U.S. for capital punishment, and juxtaposed it with claims about alleged Third Reich gassings. In a fourth report, Fred criticized a book on "gas chambers" written by French scholar Jean-Claude Pressac. Fred was sent by Ernst Zündel to investigate Auschwitz, Majdanek, Dachau, Hartheim and other alleged "NSDAP Death Camps" and "gassing facilities." Fred is author of the devastating, trail-blazing series of Leuchter Reports (I, II, III, IV) and several articles and videotaped presentations that resulted from these investigations, and had been a truly sensational Zündel witness in the Great Holocaust Trial in 1988. Fred was blacklisted in the U.S. and hounded by the Holocaust lobby and the world's lapdog media. Fred was arrested and jailed in Germany while visiting there to appear on a television show, and he was denied entry to the UK due to his forensic research. As a result of intense Jewish pressure, Fred lost his livelihood. Since making known his findings, Fred also has been libeled, slandered, and financially ruined. We discuss factual conditions regarding the alleged gas chambers of the NSDAP German work camps. Some related topics are also included. Callers are welcome to contribute.
