Mr Death The Rise and Fall of Fred A Leuchter Jr.
January 22nd, 2007 by Bif
When I first saw this engrossing documentary, I was struck by the tragic figure of Fred A. Leuchter Jr. A sad, almost comedic, character who started out as an engineer, before revolutionising the state of execution equipment in the states and finally losing everything after becoming something of a posterboy for holocaust revisionists. On the face of it, obviously, he does sound abhorrent but he comes across so inoffensive, that it becomes very hard to correlate the man with the deeds. Thanks to Smashing Telly and GoogleVideo.

Yes but what does that say for the folks who took him serious?

Wow! What a great doco… Why is it though, that Leuchter brought evidence, thoughtfulness and professional opinion, but the “other side” brought only vile character assassination and a so-called Chemist who retracted his court-given testimony only after he discovered that the samples came from Auschwitz?
It made me want to investigate Fred’s claims further…
