THE WIENER LIBRARY was founded during World War II by Dr Alfred Wiener, a briliant émigré from Nazi Germany. He received funding from Mr Churchill's wartime government to establish the library as an arm of Britain's propaganda effort. They have continued this charitable work to the present day, and recently received millions of pounds from the government's lottery fund.

Dear Mr. Irving,

I have received two recent letters from you regarding the diary of Dr. Kremer from Auschwitz and whether you can have access to it. As you have described the library as a "Jewish-émigré propaganda library", our director as a "particularly venomous journalist" (quoted at www.fpp.co.uk/docs/press/items/newstatesman100792) and a member of our executive committee as "an intellectual thug", (quoted at www.fpp.co.uk/BoD/docs/HET121291) it is not felt appropriate that we allow you to use our resources.

Yours Sincerely

Colin Clarke
Librarian

Mr Irving has replied, Friday, January 7, 2000 :

Thank you. Please confirm for the purposes of this High Court action that you do have in your custody a copy of the diary of Dr Kremer referred to. You have of course liberally assisted the defendants in the High Court action of which you are aware.

 

Now here's a thought: D'you feel that the U.K. Charities Commission should be reminding the Wiener Library of its responsibilities? Why not e-mail the Commissioners? First browse the commission's Webpage, then review the law, then send a brief complaint to the Commission using this pre-addressed form:
