History at Gunpoint (book)

Description

In 2011, the United Nations’ Human Rights Commission ruled that laws penalizing dissenting views on historical topics violate the UN’s Human Rights Charter. Ignoring this, by now 41 countries in the Western world have outlawed dissenting views on what happened to Jews during World War II. In addition, the UN’s General Assembly passed a resolution in 2022 clearly violating the above-mentioned 2011 ruling: All nations are “to take active measures to combat” any dissenting views on this topic.

Meanwhile, historians express their fear, as any deviation from an undefined “official” truth can ruin their career in the blink of an eye. In any of the 41 countries, they may even be put in prison – in one case up to a maximum of TWENTY years! – for merely voicing a peaceful view on a 90-year-old event!

Facing increased criticism of Zionist action in the Middle East (Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon…), calls to tighten the censorship thumbscrews even more are growing. The Jews’ unique victim status evidently needs to be preserved at all costs, so that Zionists can use it as their sword and shield.

As George Orwell famously stated in his novel 1984, “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” To find out who controls the present, you merely need to know whom to criticize is dangerous and whose narrative is the most sacrosanct.

This books describes in Part 1 starts out with a brief overview of mainstream media complaining about fake AI-created Holocaust stories and about fake Holocaust witnesses. The need to be skeptical toward such “sources” leads us straight into the minefield of Holocaust source criticism and skepticism, and what happens to scholars active in that field. The rest of the first chapter explains many terrifying examples of Kafkaesque persecutions of dissidents, showing how writing about this crucial aspect of WWII history has become a potentially career-ending Russian Roulette that can get you imprisoned or even assassinated, if your findings don’t align with the official dogmas.

Part 2 explores how the narrative of what happened to the Jews during WWII has shifted significantly over the years, how the historical record was manipulated, and how mainstream scholars have had to admit repeatedly to have gotten it wrong – because they were coerced by governments to lie. That coercion, however, has never been as severe as it is today. So, do you really expect mainstream historians to tell you the truth?

Part 3 explores the history and ideological background of censorship in the West against politically incorrect dissidents in general and Holocaust skeptics in particular, naming horses and riders of this ongoing deterioration of liberties on what used to be the “free world.”

Part 4 gives advice on how to navigate this minefield of government coercion and social persecution: who you can trust, and what sources you can consult, if you want to learn more.

During a 50-minute presentation Germar Rudolf gave in late May 2026, he discussed the issue of “History at Gunpoint.” Watch it right here, or at the movie’s dedicated page here.
