An accompanying 10-page article provides information on an argument that is important for those who, like any revisionist researcher worthy of the name, care about historical EXACTITUDE.
In the case of the most ordinary of crimes, justice and police officials know that a forensic examination is absolutely indispensable. However, for seventy years, in the case of what is reputed to be the most atrocious crime ever by its nature and its proportions, that of “the Holocaust” or “the Shoah”, the judges have dispensed with any medico-legal study conducted under the rules established by law and observed by good judicial practice.
There has been just one exception: in France, a forensic examination of the alleged Nazi gas chamber in the Struthof camp near Strasbourg was ordered shortly after the war and assigned to Professor René Fabre, Dean of the Paris faculty of pharmacy and a toxicologist. On December 1, 1945 the professor came to a negative conclusion: he had found no traces of hydrocyanic acid where such traces ought to have been discovered, i.e. in the enclosure called “gas chamber” and in the exhaust stack of that enclosure; nor were there any such traces in the corpses left by the Germans at the University of Strasbourg’s institute of anatomy, corpses of Jews alleged to have been gassed by the camp commandant, Josef Kramer, alone, without the assistance of a single gas specialist. Lacking any training in chemistry, J. Kramer was, in civilian life, a simple accountant!
The report by Professor Fabre has vanished but I personally discovered, in 1980, a document certifying the results of his study. Even Jean-Claude Pressac admitted that Fabre’s findings were negative: “The result [of toxicological testing for traces of cyanide] at Struthof was negative, which was somewhat embarrassing” (The Struthof Album, Edited by Serge Klarsfeld, [published by] The Beate Klarsfeld Foundation, New York, 1985, p. 12).
