The John F. Kennedy Assassination Homepage

About jfk-assassination.com

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.
