| | 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 told Alpha only that the samples were to be used as evidence in a court case about an industrial accident. | | | Leuchter not only lacks an engineering licence but hasn't an engineering degree or other professional certification or recognised credential — his only education consists of a BA in history, which he completed in 1964. |

| | Zundelsite: DSMRD - Testimony of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. |
| | Leuchter agreed that one of the goals of the state of Missouri in its execution procedures was to have an installation that was as safe as possible for all personnel other than the condemned person. | | | Leuchter was not allowed to testify whether his opinion had changed after investigating the sites or whether information contained in either exterminationist or revisionist publications conformed to what he had observed. | | | Leuchter disagreed, stating that he had "completely altered the design" and that a new system was being installed. |

| | 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. | | | Fit the pieces together and even the ingénue can see just what she means: Leuchter losing his business contracts, losing his wife, losing his home and car (we see him stranded out on the highway) and facing prosecution from the State of Massachusetts for practicing engineering without a license. | | | 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 were still unimpressed, has made a pact with the devil. As I recall, the audience involuntarily laughed at this quip. |

| | Fred Leuchter: Defender of truth |
| | Leuchter has also been a consultant on execution procedures. | | | 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. |

| | Leuchter was immediately released from several contracts he had with many states across the country. | | | 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. | | | In other words, Zundel, who was on trial for publishing false documents stating the holucaust was a myth, wanted Leuchter to get evidence to corroborate his theory. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | The scenes of Leuchter at Auschwitz, videotaped by the trip members themselves, chipping away at the bricks of the dilapidated concentration camp, are appalling. |

| | Errol Morris's Mr Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. | | | 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. | | | Before being brought to trial on criminal charges of practicing engineering without a license, Leuchter signed a consent agreement on June 12, 1991, admitting that he had misrepresented himself as an engineer, both in letters and proposals to correctional facilities, and in his "Report" on the concentration camp gas chambers. |

| | Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A.

| | 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. | | | Zündel is on trial in Canada for Holocaust-denial publications, and he wishes to use Leuchter's findings, and reputation, in his defense. | | | Soon, you can see the humbleness turn to self-worth when Leuchter states that there are no other engineers in the world who know how to do what he does. |

| | Leuchters 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. | | | Fear that audiences will become sentimental about Leuchter is, in fact, unwarranted. | | | Not only does he show the documents calling for the construction of gas chambers at Auschwitz, he also states that the buildings that Leuchter vandalized for his specimens were probably the location of more human misery and more murders than any other structures on earth. |

| | MR. DEATH: THE RISE AND FALL OF FRED A. LEUCHTER, JR. (1999) |
| | 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, 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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.' | | | Naturally, the very fact that Morris would give Leuchter a forum has already offended more than one person. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Virtually raised within the American penal system by a father who worked within prison walls, Leuchter seems to have come somewhat naturally into his profession; designing and maintaining execution equipment for state penitentiaries, in spite of his lack of credentials. | | | After a moderately successful career making electric chairs and designing gas chambers and gallows, Leuchter came to the attention of neo-Nazi and revisionist historian Ernst Zundel, who was facing criminal charges in Germany for publishing his “theory” that the holocaust never happened. |

| | 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. | | | The defense attorneys, in dire need of good evidence to prove Zündel's remarks, call on Leuchter to excavate the supposed gas chambers in Auschwitz and find conclusive evidence that no one was executed there. | | | 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. |
