Paul Eisen, the founder of Deir Yassin Remembered, wrote the following:
"Ernst Zundel is, in my view, the greatest dissident of our time...
I have read about Ernst and I have written about him.., but it was only two years ago that I met him. He was soft-spoken, kind and gentle, but every so often you could see the flash of steel. He had just been released from prison and was engaged in rebuilding his ancestral home. It's a peasant's house in the Black Forest, in the heart of Germany - and it had housed his woodcutter father, his large family and the young Ernst.
Never have I seen an edifice so rooted in the land. Like Ernst himself, it seemed to grow out of the soil.
