Historical Past versus Political Present, 2000

By Arthur R. Butz ∙ July 20, 2000

Last updated on

In this video (1 hour and 21 minutes long) Greg Raven introduces Professor Arthur Butz, the author of the pioneering revisionist study The Hoax of the 20th Century. In his speech, delivered on May 27, 2000, at the 13th IHR Conference, in Irvine, California, Professor Butz talks of the historical past and the political present (in 2000). This speech by Professor Butz shows the brilliance of his pioneering work, which is a major step forward in rebutting the “holocaust” hate atrocity propaganda myth. His paper was later published in print: Arthur R. Butz, “Historical Past vs. Political Present,” The Journal of Historical Review, Vol. 19, No. 6, Nov./Dec. 2000, p. 15; https://codoh.com/library/document/historical-past-vs-political-present/.

Nazi Shrunken Heads

  A person's high regard for the Nuremberg Trial tends to be taken down a peg or two upon learning that the American prosecution team offered a shrunken head into evidence, blaming the Nazis for what obviously came from a South American rain forest tribe many years prior.

The Truth Deserves to be Known

The Holocaust story is a hoax because no one was killed by the Nazis in gas chambers–and because the total number of Jews who could have possibly died in German-occupied territory is minuscule compared to what is alleged.

Was Himmler a Holocaust Denier?

Dear AnswerMan, I keep coming across statements like this, which seem to make the Holocaust story unfalsifiable. The first Holocaust deniers were the Nazis.

What is “Holocaust denial'?

In recent years, more and more attention has been devoted to the supposed danger of “Holocaust denial.” Politicians, newspapers and television warn about the growing influence of those who reject the Holocaust story that some six million European Jews were systematically exterminated during the Second World War, most of them in gas chambers. In several…
