It was a "notoriously anti-Semitic " author of a 1981 published as inciting banned book about the November pogrom known 1938th She worked both under her own name and under the pseudonym Hugo Rauschke .

Political life

Weckert was a confidante of the neo-Nazi Michael Kühnen , with whom she founded the anti-Zionist campaign . She was a member of the German Alternative Party .

Weckert is the author of the magazine Germany in the past and present of the Grabert publishing house. She also wrote quarterly books for free historical research for the Holocaust-denying journal . Her brochure Emigration of Jews from the Third Reich was published in July 1994 by Thies Christophersen's criticism publishing house . Her article, published under the pseudonym Hugo Rauschke in the journal Sleipnir , led to a police search of the editorial office. The responsible district court in Berlin-Tiergarten sentenced her to a fine of 3200 DM for inciting people for the article in which she described everyday life in the Auschwitz concentration camp as a kind of recovery.

She maintains personal contacts with numerous Holocaust deniers . David Irving , the condemned Holocaust denier, often used Weckert's essays and books for his depictions without disclosing this in the text. In 1985 Weckert took part in the 6th IHR conference . In 1991 Ernst Zündel was arrested in her apartment.

Fire sign

In her book Feuerzeichen Weckert traces the history of the November pogroms of 1938. Your method and your goal are historical revisionist . According to her, the instigators of the Reichspogromnacht were Jews who were hoping to emigrate to Palestine .

The foreword to the book was written by Wilfred von Oven , Joseph Goebbels' last personal press officer . According to Weckert's allegations, Goebbels was innocent of the November pogrom. In numerous places in the book it is based on the writings of Friedrich Grimm , who was involved in the persecution of Herschel Grynszpan on behalf of the Nazi government in the Third Reich . Grynszpan's assassination attempt on a member of the German embassy in Paris had served the Nazi government as a pretext for the pogrom. But she also uses Grimm's view of the trial against David Frankfurter .

In the book, Weckert also addresses the alleged “ Jewish declaration of war ” against Germany in 1933. Her translation manipulates the original text in several places.

The book was indexed by the Federal Inspectorate for Writings Harmful to Young People on June 16, 1994, and the local court in Tübingen, where the publishing house is based, confiscated it with a ruling on January 5, 1998 for sedition , insulting and disparaging the memory of deceased people.

The following excerpt from the verdict can be found several times on right-wing extremist websites: "In the scriptures, the riots against Jewish people and institutions during the Reichspogromnacht are provoked by the Jews and not wanted by the Nazi leadership. The Jews living in the Federal Republic of Germany are represented by the Representation made maliciously contemptuous and attacked in its human dignity (Section 130 (2) No. 1 StGB) The memory of the Jewish people who were victims of the Nazi riots is vilified (Sections 189, 194 (2) sentence 2 StGB) . " District court Duisburg, 11 GS 633/03, February 20, 2003.
