Editor’s note: This is Part 6 of Mary W Maxwell’s series. Ursula Haverbeck, now age 91, is serving a three-year prison term for Holocaust denial. She wrote the letter below in response to an article by historian Prof Norbert Frei. It was published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung under the title ‘Hitlerliebe’ (Hitler Love) on July 21/22, 2018.
Yours and My Truth, by Ursula Haverbeck
Professor Norbert Frei begins with the sentence: “Ursula was 16 years old when Hitler committed suicide.”
He should have written: “Ursula was 16 years old” when… the war, that was already drawing to an end, caught up with the people who had so far been largely spared in the East. After the total expulsion order, thousands of banished Germans set out to save themselves before the borders of the Bolshevik Red Army. That was the end of childhood and a very happy youth.
Prussians, Pomeranians, Silesians, Sudeten Germans and many other ethnic German groups could never return again to their old ancestral homeland, something that many still expected decades after the war, due to international law.
It was a bitter-cold January in 1945, the roads were frozen with ice. Often narrowly squeezed into three lanes, [German] troops headed east, and the farm buggies headed west, and in between them there were repeated transports of wounded. For the displaced Germans on the carriages, there was only one goal, despite the approaching gunfire, to get to Breslau and across the bridges of the river Oder as soon as possible, before they would be blown up.”
That would have said more about the reality of a sixteen-year-old girl’s life in East Germany in 1945.
Of course, a historian is also free to imagine a young person from the Nazi era at his own discretion. However, this usually says more about the mental condition of him than about the person described.
With the currency reform of 1948, a hard and serious cut into life began, especially for the homeless and unemployed expellees in foreign surroundings, where the inhabitants were already overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of people bombed out of their homes. All living space was already occupied well into the 1950s.
In England and Sweden they were looking for cleaning ladies for the hospitals and in positions of domestic help. I became a guest worker in Sweden from 1949 to 1953, from where I could support my parents.
The former “BDM” girl [Frau Haverbeck was designated by Prof. Frei to be a Hitler Youth Girl] – to which I never belonged; I had stayed with the 10-14 year olds as a young girls’ leader – was neither stubborn, nor angry, nor unhappy, as Norbert Frei claims I, his study object, was. I had a particularly happy time in Sweden. We met once a week in a German-Swedish working group for more than two years to study Rudolf Steiner’s ‘Philosophy of Freedom’. We read it in German and alternately lectured and discussed it in Swedish. There I heard of Baruch de Spinoza. Three of his sentences became my guide posts:
From the ethics: “Deus sive natura, ‘the unity and wholeness of God – nature.
“Man is man’s joy” as a replacement for the old Roman quote “man is man’s wolf.”
And from the theological-political treatise: “The true goal of all politics is freedom.”
The philosopher, who was a close friend of the Dutch politician Jan de Witt, recognized this as the basic maxim for the new political design after the collapse of the Spanish foreign rule, already shortly after the Thirty Year War at that time. It was to also point the way ahead for our departure. Freedom, please, not ego-liberalism!
The ‘Holocaust’ did not exist yet, and not in Sweden nor in Scotland in 1957 either, where I was able to study for a year thanks to a scholarship.
Tales of horror at Auschwitz did not attract further attention under the terror of the bombs and the misery of the displaced people, that was still omnipresent. Furthermore, there was also a large number of opposing statements about Auschwitz by contemporary witnesses, from personal experience. What was truth – what was a lie?
And not to forget, we knew who had already ‘declared’ war on us in March of 1933, and who it was that six months later declared the ‘Holy War’ against the most “bloodthirsty, evil people in the world, the Germans.” That wasn’t a new tune. Our fathers had already heard it in World War One.
“Denying the Holocaust is not an opinion, but a crime,” concludes Norbert Frei. For us, ‘The Holocaust’ was a Hollywood feature film from the USA. So this word first came into our consciousness in 1979. It was an enormous production, in four episodes in succession, with scientific introduction, panel discussion and tearful reports by Auschwitz survivors.
Auschwitz, the Holocaust and the six million gassings were one and the same. From now on it was regarded as the singular guilt of the Germans, that was not atonable for all eternity.
All refutations from available documents and scientific views were indexed, forbidden, destroyed. It was punishable to cite them in agreement, whether submitted by Jews, French, Americans or Germans.
Those born after 1960-1965 no longer had an opportunity to compare the information. For them, the Holocaust became an incontrovertible fact. And even today, every criticism, every question that is difficult to answer is punished with prohibitions and prison sentences. May I remind you of the trials against Ernst Zündel and the chemist Germar Rudolf in Mannheim.
The Institut für Zeitgeschichte (IfZ) [Institute of Contemporary History] managed the feat of publishing the Standort- und Kommandanturbefehle Auschwitz 1940-45 ohne IfZ Bemerkungen-530S in 2000, [commander’s orders at Auschwitz] and still withheld them at the same time from the public. In none of the more than 30 lawsuits [I have attended], have I ever heard them mentioned. (2001 – 2015).
Norbert Frei is made “speechless” by the “brazenness” of Ursula Haverbeck. This is simply explained by the fact that she knows not only the time after the Holocaust film, but also the 35 years before it, as well as a number of the critics involved, personally. [The accusations] have been reviewed retrospectively.
“The real goal of politics is freedom.” But how do you get freedom? This we find in John’s Gospel:
“The truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

When President Trump is impeached and removed from office, the fictional speech by Adam Schiff to Congress interpreting the President’s telephone call with the Ukraine President will be declared to be reality. The real transcript will be memory-holed and referring to it will become a crime.
Pelosi will be sworn in as President and she will appoint Hillary Clinton as VP – who will resume the programs of the Cabal forthwith.
Under the Clinton Presidency, disagreeing with “Climate Change” will be declared a “hate-crime” whereas seizing wealthy people’s assets will be re-badged as social justice.
I’ll run with the 6 million Jewish killed in Germany in the WW2 era(was 3 million when I attended the Holocaust show Sydney Town Hall ’bout 1976).
There were huge war trials after the war and a couple of German scientists were executed for their role. Why so few? Where did all the other scientists go. Why aren’t these Nazi war criminals hunted down Odessa style if the history is clear.(please hunt them down, we can point out a lot of them in Oz alone).
Locking up old ladies is just another nail in the coffin of this cover-up. Even if she were in the Hitler youth, does not matter for it was enforced if coercion failed. So many lies to cover up, so easy for them to be called.
Coercion has failed again, bring on enforcement as you will. Us ol’ fogies appear to be quite the thorn still. Hat off Ursula, not an easy path you take, but is the high road and mitigates mistakes of a youth(if any in your case).
Simon – I could direct you to some interesting open source information that would further open your eyes and make you realise how much “the victors only write the history” Drop me a line if you are interested hfckeddie@gmail.com
Thanks Eddie, better to kick it around here. The history writers are alphabet =google= gmail. Here is mine simon.james.darcy@gmail.com.(I only look at inbox every couple of months though)
Funny for me, Steiner is always popping up, like this story. Half creeps me out, half amazes me like biodynamics.
I’m overwhelmed by information and avoid a lot. I can be tempted like all, so thanks your reply.
Funny how the “History Channel” is now basically the “Hitler Channel” – showing non-stop “Holocaust documentaries”. Also funny how Hollywood movies completely unrelated to WWII somehow manage to weave “the Holocaust” into the narrative.
Richard, W W 2 has made many a Hollywood movie director very, very rich. In fact it is my humble belief that W W 2 was a blessing in disguise for many of these people, as the money still keeps rolling in from books and movies and documentaries, heavily slanted as they are. The gift that keeps on giving, one might say.
The reigning political narrative re both Nazism and so-called Holocaust denial might be grievously wide of the mark but that has no bearing on the fact that both are fundamentally reactionary, and as such, destined to fail.
Current mandatory belief systems devoid of substance:
Industrial AGW generated by CO2;
The Holocaust;
The global population explosion;
God;
Western governments constitute democracy;
Australians called for the Policy of Multiculturalism;
The Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia is paid by Australians;
A treaty and extra representation will help Aborigines;
Free trade causes trickle-down prosperity to the masses; and just for laughs…
Kiribati Island is being inundated by rising seas.
You seem to be overlooking the fact that belief, by definition, is both voluntary and abstract and that every form of deceit is rooted in the idea that there’s no means of being held to account beyond this world.
Get a load of Senator Rand Paul. At 3 mins he invites Edward Snowden home. That means he should also “send” Assange home.
Ursula you will be vindicated. Later generations will be shocked at the injustice and the lies. Your stance will be regarded at that of a heroine.
I’m sure you already know that, but perhaps it needed to be said while you were still alive.
Well spoken Terry, I support every word.
Funny how the MSM and all Governments everywhere seem to claim ignorance of the declaration of war the Zionist made against the Germans in 1933. I wonder why that is. Imagine if Iran made a declaration of war against the U.S. and began to undermine their economy and infrastructure, would they just sit by and do nothing whilst singing Koombaya ????????? Hardly.
Also the mysterious 6 million figure had already been bandied about long before WW 2 even started, though in that case the finger pointed at the Russians. L.O.L. What is it with that magical number ? Most importantly, why did it only surface in 1979 ?
It is FACT, the U.S. Government has been at war ever since WW 2 ceased. Yes I know, it was also at war even before WW 1,(the whole sale butchery in the Phillipines comes to mind) and then after that as well. So it’s been at war since WW 2, how many people has it butchered ILLEGALLY with these wars World wide ???????????????? Yet people still think the U.S. is a shining light on the hill, rather that a cold blooded murdering regime, that MUST eventually be held to account for it’s crimes, which have been far, far greater than anything the Germans could ever have concocted.
“Also the mysterious 6 million figure had already been bandied about long before WW 2 even started, though in that case the finger pointed at the Russians”
Yeah, also in WWI. – The 6 million figure comes from the Talmud. They had to try and sneak it into whatever was likely to fly at the time.
Ursula, you are already a heroine! I know that these days there is no such recognised word. This is stipulated by the same liars who tell of the holocaust.
The real murders use the holocaust story to try to cover their own murderous crimes from USSR during the early 20th century up to today. Then they were known as the Bolsheviks, today as Zionists. All Satanists and pure evil.
I know a man of a Scottish regiment of WW II who was involved in the relief of Belsen prison camp and he tells me that there were definitely no gas chambers at that site. This fellow is still alive at 95 years of age and I was playing lawn bowls with him today.
Hello Diane – the conversation continues seamlessly here …
I like to put a face and voice to significant authors … so before discussing what he wrote, here is Gerard Menuhin (son of Yehudi) in a fascinating interview with Horst Mahler on “Nordland TV”. There are many important points of historical and therefore current relevance.
The case of Horst Mahler – Gerard Menuhin about real refugees
In this conversation Horst Mahler (HM) and Gerard Menuhin (GM) mention censorship, the (Rothschild) so-called ‘fiat’ money system and the cashless society (in which banks have 100% control over our savings and can impose whatever negative interest rates they dictate). HM and GM also discuss the purpose of the orchestrated mass immigration into Europe and ‘the West’ in general, 911 (the “new Pearl Harbour”) as well as the old Pearl Harbour, “democratic governments”, did I mention censorship, weaponisation of language – triggering control words (eg tolerance = intolerance, racist/racism – cross-reference to Lenin, the Bolsheviks and the Russian ‘revolution’ – how little we actually know!
At 16:35 – GM:
“The lie is something we must stand up against”
At 06:25 – GM:
“we have to defend ourselves in any way we can. The first step towards defence is to learn how these things came about - in other words the historic truth how historic truth is easy to find out if one is curious enough - it’s all there in the internet or in some books and the steps towards our present predicament are very clearly shown if we take every major incident going back to 2001 - 9/11 - going back further to Pearl Harbor … “
He also touches upon one of my favourite topics – the obscene lies about Syria – but I digress.
Let me know when done and what you think and then we can talk about what he wrote in “Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil”
I will pre-empt …
What [in heaven’s name] do you think inspired Gerard Menuhin (son of Yehudi) to write in his book “Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil”?
Page 171
“Those ultimately responsible for this hopeless situation have succeeded in their conspiracy: they have created, with the aid of “holocaust” professionals and propaganda, the necessary climate of guilt whereby never-ending legal as well as illegal immigration goes unchallenged, resulting in a fractured society, civil unrest and inadequate social funds. The desired massive debt is therefore programmed. Jewish influence has achieved the dissolution of a once cohesive community.”
Page 303
“Alone the fact that one may not question the Jewish “holocaust” and that Jewish pressure has inflicted laws on democratic societies to prevent questions—while incessant promotion and indoctrination of the same averredly incontestable ‘holocaust’ occur—gives the game away. It proves that it must be a lie. Why else would one not be allowed to question it? Because it might offend the “survivors”? Because it “dishonors the dead”? Hardly sufficient reason to outlaw discussion. No, because the exposure of this leading lie might precipitate questions about so many other lies and cause the whole ramshackle fabrication to crumble.”
The military industrial murderers do not discriminate between races. It’s all good for business.
Doesn’t matter if they’re German Jew Arab or whatever. For satanists, the colour of the victims does not matter. They will even sacrifice their own to eliminate opposition. These people are
vampires, addicted to bloodshed and chaos, to kill innocents is all they know.
Ideally, there should be no room for guns but when the mass is disarmed and only the oppressors have them, there in lies our injustice. There are only two ways, with most of us wandering between love and evol daily. Don’t be fooled into sliding down to their abominations.
We are all created, we don’t even know how we breathe or when our last one will be, so try to remain rock steady in faith and truth. Our younger ones future depends on it.
What interests me is that the Third Reich was also held together by punishing any sort of dissidence. It would appear that subservience to the State is written into the German psyche; a fatal flaw if ever there was!
Very quickly, since I have not had time to listen to the video Julius posted about The case of Horst Mahler – Gerard Menuhin about real refugees, I remember it has been said. “Without immigration there will be no sustainable development”.
(Addis Ababa Action Agenda (June 2015), which states the ‘positive contribution of migrants for inclusive growth and sustainable development in countries of origin’ (United Nations (UN), 2015); etc
G’day Folks,
SUBJECT: The Controversy of Zion, by Douglas Reed.
👉🎯 I am presently devouring the remarkable insights, revelations, and considerable historical and geopolitical implications of The Controversy of Zion, a book written by Douglas Reed, almost a decade after the Zionist movement achieved its longtime, Talmudic inspired ambition — the creation of the state of Israel.
The aptly titled book explains so much, with every page delivering another piece of the history of the past 2,500 years but at the same time reaching out and grabbing one by the throat with its alarming, inescapable — and frankly disturbing — present-day conclusions. Three of the most consequential ideologies of history — Communism, Christianity, and Zionism — are examined by Reed in a way that meticulously portrays the portentous links between them, and delivers in both context and perspective in spades.
I always grappled for example with the notion that so many of the past and present neoconservatives in the US — whose dual (i.e. split) loyalties to America and Israel are well documented if not widely known by the infamously geopolitically illiterate populace of the Home of the Brave — have been the driving forces of US foreign policy and its grand hegemonic ambitions for the past three decades at least— were/are unreconstructed Trotskyites. Now I know. For those of us who are increasingly disdainful of the whole facile, simplistic, and utterly redundant left/right, liberal/conservative construct, the subtext of this tome is a revelation in itself.
Admittedly a big call, this is one of the most important, transfixing, and enlightening reads I’ve ever undertaken, and my next essay will be name checking Reed’s work in some depth.
See below for more information on the book and its author.
👍 ℹ️ 🎯 Commencing in 1951, Douglas Reed spent more than three years — much of this time separated from his wife and young family — working in the New York Central Library, or tapping away at his typewriter in spartan lodgings in New York or Montreal. With workmanlike zeal, the book was rewritten, all 300,000 words of it, and the Epilogue only added in 1956.
The story of the book itself — the unusual circumstances in which it was written, and how the manuscript, after having remained hidden for more than 20 years, came to light and was at last made available for publication — is part of the history of our century, throwing some light on a struggle of which the multitudes know nothing: that conducted relentlessly and unceasingly on the battleground of the human mind.
It needed some unusual source of spiritual power and motivation to bring to completion so big a book involving so much laborious research and cross-checking, a book, moreover, which seemed to have little or no chance of being published in the author’s lifetime.
Although there is correspondence to show that the title was briefly discussed with one publisher, the manuscript was never submitted but remained for 22 years stowed away in three zippered files on top of a wardrobe in Reed’s home in Durban, South Africa.
Relaxed and at peace with himself in the knowledge that he had carried his great enterprise as far as was possible in the circumstances of the times, Reed patiently accepted his forced retirement as journalist and writer, put behind him all that belonged to the past and adjusted himself cheerfully to a different mode of existence, in which most of his new-found friends and acquaintances, charmed by his lively mind and rich sense of humour, remained for years wholly unaware that this was indeed the Douglas Reed of literary fame.
Of this he was sure, whether or not it would happen in his lifetime, there would come a time when circumstances would permit, and the means be found, to communicate to the world his message of history rewritten, and the central message of Christianity restated.
For the rest, The Controversy of Zion, can be left to speak for itself; indeed, it is a work of revisionist history and religious exposition the central message of which is revealed in almost every page, understanding and compassionate of people but severely critical of the inordinate and dangerous ambitions of their leaders.
In the final chapter, under the heading the Climacteric, Douglas Reed remarks that if he could have planned it all when he began writing his book in 1949, he could not have chosen a better moment than the last months of 1956 to review the long history of Talmudic Zionism and re-examine it against the background of what was still happening on the stage of world politics.
Will publish more details shortly. GM

Preface to: The Controversy of Zion, by Douglas Reed (1956)
By Ivor Benson
The Author ℹ️: In Europe during the years immediately before and after World War II the name of Douglas Reed was on everyone’s lips; his books were being sold by scores of thousand, and he was known with intimate familiarity throughout the English-speaking world by a vast army of readers and admirers.
Former London Times correspondent in Central Europe, he had won great fame with books like Insanity Fair, Disgrace Abounding, Lest We Regret, Somewhere South of Suez, Far and Wide and several others, each amplifying a hundredfold the scope available to him as one of the world’s leading foreign correspondents.
The disappearance into almost total oblivion of Douglas Reed and all his works was a change that could not have been wrought by time alone; indeed, the correctness of his interpretation of the unfolding history of the times found some confirmation in what happened to him when at the height of his powers.
After 1951, with the publication of Far and Wide, in which he set the history of the United States of America into the context of all he had learned in Europe of the politics of the world, Reed found himself banished from the bookstands, all publishers’ doors closed to him, and those books already published liable to be withdrawn from library shelves and “lost”, never to be replaced.
His public career as a writer now apparently at an end, Reed was at last free to undertake a great task for which all that had gone before was but a kind of preparation and education that no university could provide and which only the fortunate and gifted few could fully use – his years as a foreign correspondent, his travels in Europe and America, his conversations and contacts with the great political leaders of his day, plus his eager absorption through reading and observation of all that was best in European culture.
Experiences which other men might have accepted as defeat, served only to focus Douglas Reed’s powers on what was to be his most important undertaking – that of researching and retelling the story of the last 2000 years and more in such a way as to render intelligible much of modern history which for the masses remains in our time steeped in darkness and closely guarded by the terrors of an invisible system of censorship.
📖 The Book: Commencing in 1951, Douglas Reed spent more than three years – much of this time separated from his wife and young family – working in the New York Central Library, or tapping away at his typewriter in spartan lodgings in New York or Montreal. With workmanlike zeal, the book was rewritten, all 300,000 words of it, and the Epilogue only added in 1956.
The story of the book itself – the unusual circumstances in which it was written, and how the manuscript, after having remained hidden for more than 20 years, came to light and was at last made available for publication – is part of the history of our century, throwing some light on a struggle of which the multitudes know nothing: that conducted relentlessly and unceasingly on the battleground of the human mind.
It needed some unusual source of spiritual power and motivation to bring to completion so big a book involving so much laborious research and cross-checking, a book, moreover, which seemed to have little or no chance of being published in the author’s lifetime.
Although there is correspondence to show that the title was briefly discussed with one publisher, the manuscript was never submitted but remained for 22 years stowed away in three zippered files on top of a wardrobe in Reed’s home in Durban, South Africa.
Relaxed and at peace with himself in the knowledge that he had carried his great enterprise as far as was possible in the circumstances of the times, Douglas Reed patiently accepted his forced retirement as journalist and writer, put behind him all that belonged to the past and adjusted himself cheerfully to a different mode of existence, in which most of his new-found friends and acquaintances, charmed by his lively mind and rich sense of humour, remained for years wholly unaware that this was indeed the Douglas Reed of literary fame.
Of this he was sure, whether or not it would happen in his lifetime, there would come a time when circumstances would permit, and the means be found, to communicate to the world his message of history rewritten, and the central message of Christianity restated.
Interpretation 🤔: For the rest, The Controversy of Zion, can be left to speak for itself; indeed, it is a work of revisionist history and religious exposition the central message of which is revealed in almost every page, understanding and compassionate of people but severely critical of the inordinate and dangerous ambitions of their leaders.
In the final chapter, under the heading the Climacteric, Douglas Reed remarks that if he could have planned it all when he began writing his book in 1949, he could not have chosen a better moment than the last months of 1956 to review the long history of Talmudic Zionism and re-examine it against the background of what was still happening on the stage of world politics.
For 1956 was the year of another American presidential election in which, once again, the Zionists demonstrated their decisive power to influence Western politics; it was the year in which the nations of the West stood by as helpless spectators as Soviet forces were used to crush a spontaneous revolt and re-install a Jewish-Communist regime in Hungary; and it was the year in which Britain and France, under Zionist pressure, were drawn into the disastrous fiasco of an attempt to capture the Suez Canal, an adventure from which, once again, Israel alone gained any advantage.
Everything that has happened since Reed wrote those last sentences in 1956 has continued to endorse the correctness of his interpretation of more than 2000 years of troubled history.
The Middle East has remained an area of intense political activity and of the maximum falsification of news and suppression of genuine debate, and it was only the few with some knowledge of the role of Talmudic Zionism and Communism who could have had any chance of solving the problem of successive events of major importance, like the so-called Six Day War in 1967
[vi] and the massive Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
Those who have read The Controversy of Zion will not be surprised to learn that there were clear signs of collusion between the Soviet Union and Israel in precipitating the Israeli attack on Egypt, for it was only because Colonel Nasser had been warned by the Kremlin bosses that Israel was about to attack Egypt’s ally Syria that he moved nearly all his armed forces to his country’ s northern border, where they fell an easy prey to Israel’s vastly superior army.
It seemed as if nothing had changed when in 1982 Israel launched a massive and most ruthless attack on Southern Lebanon, ostensibly for the purpose of rooting out the Palestine Liberation Organisation, but actually in furtherance of an expansionist policy about which Jewish leaders have always been remarkably frank.
By this time, however, the pro-Zionist mythology generated by Western politicians and media in which Israel was always represented as a tiny and virtuous nation in constant need of help and protection, was obviously beginning to lose much of its plausibility, so that few were surprised when the British Institute of Strategic Studies announced that Israel could now be regarded as fourth in the world as a military power, after the USA, the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China – well ahead of nations like Britain and France.
More deeply significant was the reaction of the Jewish people, both in Israel and abroad, to an apparent triumph of Zionist arms in Lebanon. While Western politicians and media remained timorously restrained in their comment, even after news of the massacre of an estimated 1500 men, women and children in two Beirut refugee camps, 350,000 of the residents of Tel Aviv staged a public demonstration against their government and there were reports in the Jewish press that controversy over the Lebanese war had rocked the Israel army and affected all ranks.
Of this, too, Douglas Reed seems to have had some presentiment, for among the last words in his book are these: “I believe the Jews of the world are equally beginning to see the error of revolutionary Zionism, the twin of the other destructive movement, and, as this century ends, will at last decide to seek involvement in common mankind” .

“So this word [‘holocaust’] first came into our consciousness in 1979”
And further to Eddy’s comment, I just happened to be re-watching this:
The First Holocaust – The Surprising Origin of The Six Million Figure
https://www.bitchute.com/video/PM7KvaK78emm/
Indeed the narrative of the “holocaust” of exactly “6,000,000 Jews” in Russia was promoted back in the early 1900’s.
From 14:00, much later, even the Adelaide Advertiser gets in on the narrative …
The Advertiser May 15, 1943
“Appeal on behalf of the Jews:
[] the possibility of the complete wiping out of six million Jews”
