The Good, the Bad, and the Anti-Semitic

The dreary—I was going to say dread—”anti-Semite” nametag is almost routinely attached to anyone openly doubting or outrightly questioning the tabloid version of the Holocaust story, however justified and well-meaning his intent. Recall, for example, the opprobrium heaped on the Princeton historian Arno Mayer, notwithstanding his Jewish ancestry, for his mild flirtation with revisionist themes…

The Holocaust in Perspective: A Letter by Paul Rassinier

Paul Rassinier is the generally acknowledged founder of scholarly holocaust revisionism. Born in France in 1906 and trained as an educator, he taught history and geography at the secondary school in Faubourg de Montbéliard.

Asians Just Don't Get It

We in America are so used to having the Holocaust bulk large as the preeminent symbol of inhumanity that we tend to forget that there are about 5 billion people outside of the reach of Western Civilization who just don't see Twentieth Century history the way we do. Recent events in Asia demonstrate the culture…
