Astronomer and Historian of Science Examines the Holocaust Industry
Interview with Nicholas Kollerstrom
By Jonas E. Alexis – Unz Review, November 9, 2025
Nicholas Kollerstrom holds a B.A. in the natural sciences from Cambridge University, with a focus on the history and philosophy of science. He later earned a Ph.D. in the history of astronomy from University College London. He has also worked as an astronomer and was formerly a correspondent for the BBC. In addition, he received grants from the Royal Astronomical Society for his research on the discovery of Neptune.
Kollerstrom has written numerous technical articles and essays.[1] He is the author of Newton’s Forgotten Lunar Theory: His Contribution to the Quest for Longitude (London: Green Lion Press, 2000) and The Metal-Planet Relationship: A Study of Celestial Influence (Eureka, CA: Borderland Sciences Research Foundation, 1993). The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers originally included several of his entries on figures such as the mathematician and astronomer John Couch Adams (1819–1892), the astronomer John Flamsteed (1646–1719), and Isaac Newton. However, after Kollerstrom publicly challenged the orthodox Holocaust narrative using scientific and historical arguments, all of his contributions were subsequently removed from the encyclopedia.
Kollerstrom was widely cited in the scholarly literature[2] until he began examining the chemical evidence surrounding the use of Zyklon B during World War II. After publishing his findings, he became a target of professional backlash. Graham Macklin, manager of the Research Service at the National Archives, publicly dismissed Kollerstrom’s claims—particularly his references to the swimming pool at Auschwitz-Birkenau and to the orchestras reportedly available to inmates.[3]
