Germar Rudolf, also known as Germar Scheerer,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scheerer v. Chertoff DHS )〕 born 29 October 1964, is a German chemist and a convicted Holocaust denier.〔"A German court sentenced Holocaust denier Germar Rudolf to two and a half years in prison for inciting racial hatred in publications and Web sites which "systematically" called into question the Nazi genocide." ("German Holocaust Denier Imprisoned for Inciting Racial Hatred" ), ''Deutsche Welle'', February 16, 2007.〕 ==Background== Rudolf was born in Limburg an der Lahn, Hesse. In 1983 he took his Abitur in Remscheid, then studied chemistry in Bonn, graduating in 1989 with a Master's degree. As a student, he joined the ''A.V. Tuisconia Königsberg zu Bonn'' and the ''K.D.St.V. Nordgau Prag zu Stuttgart'', Catholic fraternities belonging to the ''Cartellverband''. After supporting the CSU/CDU, he became a member of the Republicans.〔(A Rebel ) at germarrudolf.com, accessed 27 October 2015〕 After his military service with the ''Luftwaffe'', in October 1990 he joined the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research at Stuttgart, where he prepared a PhD thesis.〔 Rudolf was a believer in the story of gas chambers at Auschwitz until he examined the sites and made his own analysis. He then began to challenge the accepted history.〔Jonas E. Alexis, ''Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism'', Volume 2 (2013), p. 303〕 In 1991 he began to write a paper entitled ''Report on the formation and verifiability of cyanide compounds in the Auschwitz "gas chambers"'' on behalf of the Düsseldorf attorney Hajo Herrmann, a former ''Luftwaffe'' pilot. In 1993 this work was reported in the media, and Rudolf was told not to enter the Max Planck Institute again without permission. When he did so, his employment was terminated without notice. In 1994 this dismissal was converted into a termination by mutual agreement. In 1996, the University of Stuttgart asked Rudolf to withdraw his application for a final PhD examination, or it would be denied, rendering his PhD thesis worthless. The legal basis for this is a German law which allows universities to deny or withdraw academic degrees where the candidate has used his academic credentials or knowledge to commit a crime. Rudolf subsequently withdrew his application.〔 Between 1991 and 1994, Herrmann and other lawyers used Rudolf's Auschwitz report to defend several clients, among them Otto Ernst Remer, a former ''Wehrmacht'' officer charged with ''inciting hatred''. Rudolf knew his work would be associated with a Holocaust denier, but insisted that even Remer had a right to a legal defense. Rudolf stated that his findings at Auschwitz and Birkenau "completely shattered his world view". Among other things, Rudolf's report claims that only insignificant traces of cyanide compounds can be found in the samples taken from Auschwitz. However, Richard Green and Jamie McCarthy from The Holocaust History Project have criticized the report, saying that like Fred Leuchter in the Leuchter report, Rudolf did not discriminate against the formation of iron-based cyanide compounds, which are not a reliable indicator of the presence of cyanide, so that his experiment was seriously flawed. Rudolf has responded to Greens criticisms.〔Rudolf, Germar; Mattogno, Carlo; (Auschwitz Lies: Legends, Lies, and Prejudices on the Holocaust ), 2nd revised edition, Castle Hill Publishers, July 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Germar Rudolf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
