911 Cultist and UCL Research Fellow in Holocaust Denial Shame

riotact | 18.04.2008 20:03 | Education | London

The dark side of conspiracy theory has been exposed this week with the news that prominent 911 'truth' activist and UCL Research Fellow, Dr Nicholas Kollerstrom is a committed holocaust revisionist who has published many articles online detailing his warped views on the holocaust (1).

Dr Kollerstrom claims:

“As surprising as it may sound, the only intentional mass extermination program in the concentration camps of WW2 was targeted at Germans. From April, 1945 five million Germans were rounded up after surrendering, and deliberately starved until well over one million had died” (2)

as well as:

“Let us hope the schoolchildren visitors are properly taught about the elegant swimming-pool at Auschwitz, built by the inmates, who would sunbathe there on Saturday and Sunday afternoons while watching the water-polo matches; and shown the paintings from its art class, which still exist; and told about the camp library which had some forty-five thousand volumes for inmates to choose from, plus a range of periodicals; and the six camp orchestras at Auschwitz/Birkenau, its the theatrical performances, including a children’s opera, the weekly camp cinema, and even the special brothel established there. Let’s hope they are shown postcards written from Auschwitz, some of which still exist, where the postman would collect the mail twice-weekly.” (3)

Dr Kollerstrom regularly uses his PhD when publishing his views on the holocaust and also posts on internet forums under the name astro3.

The nineeleven truth forums (4) are currently deleting threads as quickly as people can post them showing their real attitude to the truth. What has become clear is that Kollerstrum is not the only so called truth activist who shares these opinions.

More worryingly Dr Kollerstrum is a Research Fellow at the prestigious University College London which has a Holocaust History department.

UCL have been contacted to warn them about the insiduous views they have in their midst (5). Their media team can be contacted at  d.fourniol@ucl.ac.uk and the head of the Holocaust department can be reached at  g.paizis@ucl.ac.uk.

Honorary no more!

Just thought I'd update this thread as Dr Kollerstrom's Honorary Research Fellowship has been terminated by UCL.

Here is the statement from UCL.....

Dr Nicholas Kollerstrom
22 April 2008

UCL has been made aware of views expressed by Dr Nicholas Kollerstrom, an Honorary Research Fellow in UCL Science & Technology Studies.

The position of Honorary Research Fellow is a privilege bestowed by departments within UCL on researchers with whom it wishes to have an association. It is not an employed position.

The views expressed by Dr Kollerstrom are diametrically opposed to the aims, objectives and ethos of UCL, such that we wish to have absolutely no association with them or with their originator.

We therefore have no choice but to terminate Dr Kollerstrom’s Honorary Research Fellowship with immediate effect.
