"What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we're looking at is not a historical event but - and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it - a racket"

Ernst Zundel was a German-Canadian Holocaust denier and publisher. In this quote, he is describing the Holocaust and how it is being presented to the general public. He is suggesting that the Holocaust is not a historical occasion, however rather a "racket" - a plan or fraud. He is attempting to make the public conscious that the Holocaust is not what it appears to be, and that it is being utilized for some type of gain. He is being "ruthless" in his evaluation, as he is not scared to speak his mind and challenge the accepted narrative. He is trying to make people think seriously about the Holocaust and question what they are being told. He is trying to motivate people to look beyond the surface and reveal the fact.
