Documents on the Fight for Real History

German Government Originally
Okayed the

Leuchter
Report

N
NOVEMBER 21, 1989 Diplom Kaufmann Claus Jordan of
Walkürenallee 4, 5600 Wuppertal 1 (Elberfeld),
Germany, ordered a copy of the Leuchter Report,
which had been published by Focal Point in London in June
1989. The report was mailed to him

on November 27, 1989.
He queried the warning box printed in the report which advised that Focal Point Publications would not be held responsible for the consequences of distribution of the publication in Germany. Jordan wrote to the
Bundesminister der Justiz (German federal minister of justice) asking for clarification.

In a letter dated
February 14, 1990, reference, II B 1a – AR – ZB 1528/89, the Bundesminister der Justiz stated that the
Report was a “scientific document” and that there were no ministry objections to the distribution of the
Report in Germany:

"Bei dem Gutachten von Fred Leuchter
handelt es sich um eine wissenschaftliche
Untersuchung. Eine Bewertung des 'Leuchter-Reports'
unter strafrechtlichen Gesichtspunkten steht dem
Bundesministerium der Justiz nicht zu."

On March
15, 1990, Jordan wrote to David Irving enclosing a copy of this reply which he had received from the
Minister. (Mr Jordan is since deceased).
