Grabert Verlag
Grabert-Verlag together with its subsidiary Hohenrain-Verlag is one of the largest and best-known extreme-right publishing houses in the Federal Republic of Germany.[1] It is notorious for publishing anti-Semitic works,[2] for example those of Wilhelm Stäglich.[3] It also published works of historical revisionism, such as David Hoggan's Der erzwungene Krieg[4] and books authored by Holocaust deniers such as Georg Franz-Willing.
Herbert Grabert (1901–1978), a former senior civil servant and lecturer in Alfred Rosenberg's Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, founded a publishing house named Verlag der Deutschen Hochschullehrer-Zeitung (engl. "Publisher of the German University Teacher-Newspaper") in 1953.[5] In 1961, Grabert published the book Der erzwungene Krieg (The Forced War) by David L. Hoggan, which blamed the outbreak of World War II on an alleged Anglo-Polish conspiracy to wage aggression against Germany.[6][7] Hoggan's book became one of the many extreme-right wing, revisionist publications that followed. The book was a best seller significantly contributing to the commercial success of the publishing house.[8] In 1974 Grabert named his publishing house after himself. His son Wigbert (born 1941) took over the management. He received a DM 30,000 fine after he had published a book by Germar Rudolf denying the Holocaust in 1994.[9]
