You're ignored.
You're despised
by many people.
1:13:09
And then there is a home,
and the home is the Institute
for Historical Review.
1:13:14
You make new friends.
1:13:16
Go to one conference,
then you go to
the second one...
1:13:20
and a third and a fourth.
1:13:22
And it's nice to get up
and stand behind a lectern
and have people applaud.
1:13:27
They compare your logic
with that of any
university professor.
1:13:32
Maybe it's about choosing
the right friends.
1:13:36
Please welcome a man
whose work is a mighty blow
for historical understanding.
1:13:41
Mr. Fred Leuchter.
[ Applause ]

My paper is entitled,
The Leuchter Report,
the How and the Why.
1:13:52
In 1988-- 1988 was
a very informative and
likewise disturbing year for me.
1:13:58
I was appalled to learn
that much of what
I was taught in school...
1:14:02
about 20th century history
and World War II...
1:14:06
was a myth,
if not a lie.
1:14:08
I was first amazed
then annoyed
and then aware...
1:14:12
that the myth of
the Holocaust was dead.
1:14:19
[ Shapiro ]
Fred Leuchter
put blinders on himself.
1:14:23
He sat through
all of those speeches and
neo-Nazi rallies in Europe...
1:14:29
as he heard Jews vilified.
1:14:35
Whether he belonged
to a group beforehand...
1:14:39
has no relevance.
1:14:42
He joined and he took part
for many, many years.
1:14:46
I think Fred Leuchter,
when he was called upon,
1:14:50
became one of them.
1:14:52
[ Leuchter ]
I did this, but because
of what I have seen,
1:14:56
I have a compelling urge
and perhaps a responsibility...
