Herbert Grabert [de] (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]
