I got interested in the topic around the assassination
of John F. Kennedy in 1993. Both, inspired and confused by Oliver Stone's JFK, I decided to steep deeper into
it. I read the Warren Report, books by Jim Garrison, Jim Marrs, Silvia Meagher and others. It never went out of
my mind again.
This assassination page was started in 1996 - four years after I read the first book. There were only a few
web sites about the topic then -
needless to say that the number of good and informative ones was even less. It is still very
hard to get first hand evidence and sources about the assassination outside of the U.S. That's why I published the
Warren Report and parts of its Hearings -
about 100 testimonies and a few affidavits.
However, publishing a web site in 1996 in Germany meant that you need to find a provider. The internet was
not very famous then, and »ISP« was an unknown acronym. Fortunately, my
university allowed to publish the
site on their server. So I started there and the site was a major success. Almost 10.000 people come
here every month.
After leaving university, the site went unmaintained
for about two years. Because it is still one of the major sites in the net, I moved it to an independent
service provider, changed the design (once more) and re-published it in November 2001.
The site had a huge hit in November 2003, the 40th anniversary of JFK's death. An incredible number of
people wanted to learn about the assassination. The traffic burst my budget and I had to take the site off the net.
I'm terribly sorry about that but there was no other way. I started to re-design the site a few months
later and it turned out to be a huge job. I decided to make all of the testimonies and affidavits
available as well as a searchable interface to it. Every serious researcher should be able to go
to my site and find the piece of information he desires along with its referencing scheme. It took
three months but I finally got it. There are all 495 witnesses's testimonies and affidavits
online now. The complete index created by Walt Brown has been dropped in favour of the search
interface. So if you're looking for something special, use this one instead.
Some statistics: 633 testimonies, 87 affidavits, 8483 web pages, 60 MB text size.
