Inconvenient History seeks to revive the true spirit of the historical revisionist movement; a movement that was established primarily to foster peace through an objective understanding of the causes of modern warfare.

This year, 2018, marks the 30th anniversary of the Leuchter Report, the expert report compiled by Fred A. Leuchter on the rooms at the Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek Camps commonly referred to as “gas chambers.” In this contribution, I will not deal with the merits of Leuchter’s Report, on which rivers of ink have been poured out. In this regard, I limit myself to pointing all interested parties to the critical edition of Leuchter’s reports edited by Germar Rudolf. What I propose, instead, is to examine Leuchter’s professional qualifications, about which many falsehoods have been promoted in an attempt to denigrate and discredit the aforementioned Report.
History contains many precedents for every element of Höss’s dolorous fate from the time of his capture. The oldest is hundredth of years old: A Thousand and One Arabian Nights. Here the link between the two stories is explained.
The Greek Jew Leon Cohen claims to have been a member of the infamous Auschwitz Sonderkommando in 1944 tasked with cremating the victims of mass murder. After the war, he wrote a book about his experiences, which this brief paper analyzses.
Errikos Sevillias was deported from Athens to Auschwitz in 1944. His memoir, which this brief artcile reviews, was first published in 1983.
The Greek Jew Erika Kounio was deported along with her family to Birkenau in March 1943 at age 15. Due to her knowledge of German, she ended up as a secretary in the camp’s Gestapo headquarters. Her tale, first published in 1996, is the object of this analysis.
Remembering: Voices of the Holocaust is a collection of a great number of snippets taken from testimonies of various Holocaust survivors. This brief paper reviews some of them that contain statements about the Auschwitz Camp.
Jacob (Jacques) Stroumsa, a Jew who was deported from Greece to Auschwitz, ended up playing the violin in the camp orchestra. This brief contribution reviews some of his more interesting experiences and claims about his time in Auschwitz.
The Greek Jew Heinz Kounio was deported to Auschwitz in March 1943 at the age of 15. He and his father were put to work there. This brief article reviews Kouino’s memoirs, which were first published in 1981.
Orthodox historians avoid discussing Holocaust revisionism, but there are exceptions. This paper reviews such an exception: the 2017 book Holocaust and Genocide Denial by Paul Behrens, Nicholas Terry and Olaf Jensen.
Within the Anglosphere at least, Arthur Butz's 1976 The Hoax of the Twentieth Century was truly trailblazing, almost proto-revisionist insofar as comprehensive reviews of the subject in a single volume are concerned. While the book's performance in the (book) marketplace has waxed and waned, its recent removal, after at least two decades, from the vaunted offerings of Amazon.com finally subjects this classic work to true censorship. On the occasion of its entry into the Twenty-First Century's Index Librorum Prohibitorum, this article compares its fate with that of the work of a similarly precocious myth-buster of the Fifteenth Century that Butz himself adduced while placing his own work in historical perspective.
Censorship can take many forms. This article reviews a few of them occurring in the land of the free.
German historian Prof. Dr. Christian Gerlach has written a major book on the Holocaust. The title suggests that it is about The Extermination of the European Jews, but as this review shows, the author has shirked the topic almost entirely, and he even found an excuse for doing so.
