	Fred A. Leuchter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leuchter spent much of his life offering services to several states to help them maintain, improve, document, and ascertain their equipment for administration of capital punishment, via his firm, Fred Leuchter Associates.
		Leuchter arrives at his figures assuming that the people could occupy the gas chambers at a density of maximum 1 person per 9 square feet (a density of 1.2/m²) and that it would take a week to ventilate the gas chambers before they could be used for another mass execution.
		Leuchter was arrested in and shortly thereafter deported from the United Kingdom in November 1991.

		Leuchter, having been led to believe that he can do this by his past ability to take on work for which he is singularly unqualified, makes the trip and, as Morris makes devastatingly clear, completely bollixes up, concluding that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.
		Leuchter, having made his reputation as America's leading execution technologist, is contracted by noted German-Canadian Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel to produce a report to be used in one of his many legal trials.
		The scenes of Leuchter at Auschwitz, videotaped by the trip members themselves, chipping away at the bricks of the dilapidated concentration camp, are appalling.

	Zundelsite: DSMRD - Testimony of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		Leuchter was retained by Zündel in February of 1988 to investigate three concentration camps in Poland: Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, for the purpose of determining whether or not the alleged execution facilities in those camps could have been utilized for executing human beings with hydrogen cyanide or Zyklon B gas.
		Leuchter testified that he was a consultant to the states of South Carolina and Missouri with respect to the operation of gas chambers used for prisoner executions, and was currently under contract with the state of Missouri to completely reconstruct their gas chamber.
		Leuchter testified that he had not seen this document, but stated that Topf manufactured crematory equipment, and that the ventilation system being referred to was, in fact, the blower for the furnace and had nothing to do with ventilating the alleged gas chamber.

	An ADL Film Review: Holocuast Denial - Errol Morris' Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		For Leuchter himself, the primary lessons of Auschwitz are ludicrous in their banality: at one point, he says that going to Auschwitz made him appreciate the blessing of America because the food in Poland is terrible, and his bed was uncomfortable.
		In fact, Leuchter comes across throughout the film as a great enigma: a physically ungainly man, seemingly oblivious to the impression he has on other people, and apparently clueless both to the outlandishness of his story and his own responsibility for the predicament he has created for himself.
		Leuchter’s ex-wife, who appears only as an off-screen voiceover, states that in the month they spent in Poland, immediately following their marriage, Leuchter was so preoccupied with vandalizing the gas chambers that they never slept in the same bed once.

	MR. DEATH: THE RISE AND FALL OF FRED A. LEUCHTER, JR. (1999)
		Leuchter, whose illuminating response to the only question Morris can actually be heard posing during the film -- "Have you ever considered you might be wrong?" -- was in the negative, is not even worthy of scorn: he's a pitiful figure, misguided, and ultimately tragic.
		The incongruity of the cheery glee in Leuchter's voice as he discusses his enhancements to the execution process, typically a morbid subject, makes for some easy humour, and the background Morris provides on the history of capital punishment is light, breezy, and mostly redundant for those familiar with the subject.
		Leuchter, who by now has apparently become the leading figure in his, err, trade, becomes entangled with Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, and jets off to Auschwitz (on/for his honeymoon, yet) for an unofficial investigation of the gas chambers.

	The Leuchter Report Vindicated
		Leuchter took one of his samples in an area that had been a washroom, which had never been part of the supposed gas chamber, and was separated from it by a gas-tight door.
		Leuchter's samples of the exposed bricks in the "cellar" are not worth very much in view of the feeble impression the hydrocyanic acid made on their surfaces.
		Leuchter's last claim about the homicidal gas chambers in connection with the cremation furnaces is that they are incompatible under the same roof.

	Amazon.ca: Mr. Death: The Rise & Fall of Fred A. Leuchter Jr. [IMPORT]: DVD
		Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.' is a hair-raising documentary about a gas chamber expert and his clumsy survery of concentration camps in Poland that led to the demise of his career.
		Leuchter never sways from his belief that chiseling hunks of bricks is an effective way to determine whether or not people were gassed by the Nazis.
		Leuchter seems unable to understand that the victims of Nazi concentration camps are not the equivalent of people on death row in America.

	www.REVISIONISTS.com -- Meet Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., is the foremost expert on the design and fabrication of hardware, including homicidal gas chambers, used to execute convicted criminals in the United States.
		Leuchter is perhaps best known as the author of two controversial forensic reports on alleged German wartime extermination gas chambers.
		Leuchter was blacklisted in the U.S. and hounded by the Holocaust lobby and the world's lapdog media.

	Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		Errol Morris's Mr Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		Zundel hired Leuchter to testify that the Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek concentration camps contained "no execution gas chambers" and "could not have been then, or now, be [sic] utilized or seriously, considered to function as executing gas chambers." The court dismissed this testimony, because Leuchter lacked the credentials to prove his expertise on gas chambers.
		Leuchter became involved with the "revisionists" during the 1988 trial of Ernst Zundel, a German-Canadian neo-Nazi accused under a Canadian law of publishing hate propaganda.

	Review: Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter Jr.
		We learn that it was not coincidental that Fred Leuchter was an American, for America, curiously, was the only country in the world which still dispatched persons by these means.
		He gives us, for example, Shelly Shapiro, who offers at her wittiest that Leuchter is a “hate-monger,” one who has “handed his life over to hate-mongers” and who, in case we’re still unimpressed, has “made a pact with the devil.” As I recall, the audience involuntarily laughed at this quip.
		Indeed, metaphorically at least, Fred was placed in the “hot seat” and given the jolt of his life and yet survived though his life was thereafter ruined.

	FRED A. LEUCHTER JR
		Bill Armontrout, Warden of the Missouri State Penitentiary named Fred Leuchter as the only consultant in the United States in the design, operation, and maintenance of gas chambers during his testimony at the Zündel Trial.
		FROM APPROXIMATELY 1979 through 1988, Fred Leuchter had worked with most of the states in the United States that carried out capital punishment.
		Leuchter was a perfect choice, he was the only expert on execution gas chambers in the United States and he believed in the Nazi Genocide of the Jews.

		Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
		Leuchter, the innovator of many death penalty devices and subsequently the only scientist willing to testify favorably in a celebrated Canadian trial that questioned the existence of the Holocaust, is either a hero to some or a villain to many.
		Additionally, all of the states which bought one of Leuchter's lethal injection machines have subsequently stopped using them because they were too difficult to operate and maintain.

	iFMagazine.com Reviews - MR. DEATH: THE RISE AND FALL OF FRED A. LEUCHTER
		Pretrial Leuchter had gained a renowned reputation for being an expert in his field and some would have considered him a great humaniarian until, that is, he was contracted by Zundel, a neo-Nazi publisher, to go to Auschwitz, Poland and make a forensic investigation of the concentration camps.
		And still, Leuchter, who is asked again by Morris if he thinks there is the slightest possibility that his findings may be inaccurate, remains impassive with a reply of, "I have no doubts," - a way of thinking that will continue to keep Leuchter a hero in only the eyes of the Nazis.
		Leuchter's findings did support Zundel and he said so in front of the courts and in front of America, which didn't take his part in the trial lightly.

	Mr. Death: The Rise And Fall Of Fred A. Leuchter Jr. - Movie Review
		This film, an examination of the life and work of controversial execution equipment designer and revisionist historian Fred A. Leuchter Jr., is sure to draw audiences out of their malaise, stunning even the more jaded minds among us.
		Combine the irony of these interviews with Leuchter’s reenactments and reels of creepy stock footage of his trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau, not to mention a haunting clip of Thomas Edison electrocuting an elephant, and you’ve got one compelling and disturbing documentary.
		Morris follows the trail of Leuchter’s madness with appalling lucidity, revealing in a surprising and frightening way what most of us could have guessed to begin with: This Leuchter guy is seriously messed up.

	Eye - Executioner's song - 02.10
		But Fred Leuchter, like Eichmann, is a reflection of one quote from Hannah Arendt that's always stuck with me: 'People who do truly dreadful things are not necessarily Lady Macbeths, who go in eyes open, knowingly, consciously committing evil for its own sake.'
		Leuchter, its main subject, is a nerdy, squirrelly little Boston engineer with coke-bottle glasses, a scary caffeine habit (he admits to drinking around 30 cups a day) and a home-operated business most people would run a barefoot mile to avoid: he makes "humane" capital-punishment devices.
		"Fred's a fun guy, in his own weird way," Morris freely admits, "and he certainly seems to believe in his own commitment to making sure that people being executed via electric chair don't get their eyeballs thrown across the room.

	Fred Leuchter: Defender of truth
		What his enemies want, apparently, is for Leuchter to violate his conscience, betray his profession, and to lie under oath in a court of law, all for the sake of upholding what has become, in essence, an article of religious belief.
		First, that Leuchter's motive in concluding that the alleged gas chambers were never used to kill anybody was the professional fee he received from Zündel for his work.
		He testified under oath that he had consulted with Leuchter on the design, maintenance and operation of the Missouri gas chamber, and confirmed that, to the best of his knowledge, Leuchter is the only such consultant in the United States.

	The Shallit Report: Fred Leuchter
		Rothe sells the "Leuchter report" in his store, a book purporting to be an engineer's refutation of the existence of gas chambers in Poland.
		Leuchter is a self-described expert in the construction of execution machines.
		In June 1991, to avoid a trial in which he would surely have been convicted, Leuchter admitted that, "I am not and have never been registered as a professional engineer", and that he had falsely represented himself as one.

	Fred Leuchter's Qualifications ? - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		Following Fred Leuchter on the witness stand came Dr. James Roth, Ph.D. (Cornell Univ.), Manager of Alpha Analytical Laboratories in Ashland, Massachusetts.
		It might be true that Leuchter had no "formal training" in those fields.
		For every attentive listener it was revealed that if it was so difficult to execute a single person in this manner, then the alleged execution of hundreds of thousands of persons by the Germans using Zyklon B would equal the problem of trying to square the circle.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Final Destination, Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., and Tumbleweeds
		We have now come to know the rise of Fred A. Leuchter as the official name in execution equipment, he is at a nice career high.
		Leuchter is a great name in the line of gas chambers, his ability to look at a site and tell if there was really a gas chamber there seems unparalleled.
		There was also a touch in Leuchter that I found interesting that I doubt very few would ever notice -- when working with the Tennessee state electric chair, Leuchter refrains from calling it the somewhat inhumane sounding nickname "Old Sparky" which the chair has been called for years to the best of my knowledge.

	Errol Morris: Film Review
		Leuchter took big chunks out of walls and floors, without telling the lab man that he wanted the outside surface analyzed, resulted in analysis of samples which, when pulverized, diluted upward of 10,000 times any cyanide that might have been found on the surface of the walls-even assuming Mr.
		Leuchter's entire premise into the middle of the film and not commenting on it, not giving it any special billboarded, trumpeted attention, he is giving exactly the right weight to it.
		Leuchter kept the lab man, Jim Roth, who has a doctorate in chemistry from Cornell, in the dark concerning exactly where the samples came from and what exactly he was testing for.
