Siegfried Ellwanger Castan
Holocaust: Jewish or German? I Denounce The Lie Of The Century
Porto Alegre, Revisão, 1988. In-8, 233 x 166 mm, 320 pp. First English edition. Translated from Portuguese by Murilo Alves Lopes and Sandra Beatriz Zagonel. Brown hardcover with author's name and book title on the front plate and the spine, original colored softcover inside with flaps. Dedication, thank-you list and table of contents at the beginning. Translator's note and preface opening the book, epilogue and list of source at the end. Widely illustrated with pictures and maps. Tables and many quotes along the way. This is the English edition of S. E. Castan's Holocausto: Judeu ou Alemão? published in 1987. This book puts forward "another version of the World War Two history" told by Germans themselves (Overture, p. 11) and gives another account than the orthodox Nuremberg judgment narrative. It went through multiple editions in Brazil, becoming a library success before Castan's publisher was trialed for "racism." Though the Brazilian law prohibits expressions of racism and offense to religious cults, it does not forbid from doubting the Nuremberg narrative and official version of the World War Two, which this book does. Both original Portuguese and translated English copies have become increasingly rare. Includes a reference to the Leuchter report, another staple of revisionism, which was also translated and published in Portuguese by Revisão (Acabou o gás: o fim de um mito) in 1989. The gaúcho Siegfried Ellwanger Castan (1928-2010) started working in a factory at 12 years old. He became an industrialist, dealing with iron and steel as a branch office organizer, then created production plans for the first "galvanized water pipes, soldered by induction, the first cold-drawn steel bars and the first rolled steel for special profiles that were imported into Brazil until then. He also invented support plates for rails... [and] sold the stock control of his organization a few years ago to devote himself mostly to researches about the second World War" (front flap).

This copy shows a bit of dampening at the bottom of the first pages and edges, aside from that the book is in great shape. A polemical title and a rare copy. Please note that selling this book does NOT imply any validation of its content on our behalf - we simply sell rare titles and this is quite a tough find now!
