and fast forward to 00:10:40 to catch the beginning of my talk.g,
I bring to
Council’s attention the names of two women, whose stories do not appear
in the Ann Arbor News, the New York Times or the Washington Post. They
are Alison Chabloz and Monika Schaefer. Alison hails from Great Britain,
and Monika is a Canadian citizen. They are united in the fact that both
are musicians and both sing satirical verses challenging the
truthfulness of Holocaust narratives. Their followings are small, but
vociferous and engaged.
Monika Schaefer
lives in Jasper, Alberta, and was attending the trial of lawyer Sylvia
Stolz in Germany. Stolz is on trial for what the German government
falsely labels “Holocaust denial”. During a recess, Monika was
apprehended by German authorities and has been held in administrative
detention since January 10. The Jewish advocacy group, B’Nai Brith
Canada, had filed complaints against Monika with the German government,
and appears to be taking credit for her detention there.
Alison Chabloz
lives in Derbyshire County, England, and according to the UK Daily mail
is accused of calling the gas chambers a ‘hoax’ and has been taken to
court “…in what is believed to be the first private prosecution in the
UK for anti-Jewish racism.” The private party refers to the Committee
Against Anti-Semitism.
Ms. Chabloz hopes
to turn the tables: She writes, ” Following previous treatment of me by
Derbyshire Constabulary, including six arrests, unwarranted detention
and seizure of my property [they are] seemingly … reluctant to carry out
any proper investigation into harassment of which I am the victim”.
In regards to
knowledge about the Holocaust, Americas appear to lag well behind other
western nations. We are not informed about Alison or Monika, nor were we
told much during Ernst Zundel’s two trials in Toronto during the
1980’s. We can only speculate as to the reasons for this apparent
blackout, but with Council’s permission, I’d like to paraphrase Lutheran
pastor Martin Niemöller :
First, they came for America’s white nationalists, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a white nationalist.
Then they came for the anti-Israel activists, and I did not speak out – Because I supported Jewish Supremacism in Palestine.
Then they came for they came for the Revisionists, and I did not speak out – Because I was ignorant of Revisionism.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Thank you
