00:00Christie used his first defense witness to try to substantiate Zundel's doubts.
00:04Professor Robert Faurissant of France's Lyon University told the court his research has convinced him
00:09the gas chambers and the Holocaust are historical lies.
00:13Faurissant recalled a visit to Auschwitz when he ran his finger across the smokestack of a crematorium and found no
00:19soot.
00:19His investigation revealed that the crematorium was a reconstruction, not the original.
00:24It was another day of startling testimony at the trial of Toronto publisher Ernst Zundel.
00:30The court heard from a professor of literature who spoke out in defense of Zundel.
00:36The scholar said the number of Jews who died in World War II is nowhere near what we've all been
00:41led to believe.
00:42Dr. Robert Faurissant disputes the widely held belief that six million Jews were killed during World War II.
00:48Said Faurissant in court, it's impossible to sustain any more of these fantastic figures.
00:52There is not even the slightest proof of even one gas chamber.
00:56Faurissant testified he believed the casualty figures ranged between 200,000 and 350,000.
01:02He quoted his source for that estimate as the International Tracing Service,
01:06a group that tries to track down Jews who were displaced during the war.
01:10Earlier in the day, Faurissant testified he believed the final solution was a territorial solution, not an extermination.
01:17Griffiths asked about the testimony of camp survivors who watched fellow inmates being worked to death.
01:22Faurissant said the fact that there were survivors showed there was no direct policy to work Jews to death.
01:28Faurissant calmly told the jury that there is no document with Hitler's signature calling for the mass murder of Jews.
01:34He said rumors and anti-German propaganda led to what he calls the great historical lie that six million Jews
01:42died.
01:42Griffiths, who committed this fraud?
01:45Faurissant, the state of Israel and international Zionists.
01:48Griffiths, for what purpose?
01:50Faurissant said for the financial remuneration the German government was forced to pay.
