The Journal of Historical Review - cover

Volume Fifteen ∙ Number Six ∙ November/December 1995

Between 1980 and 2002, The Journal of Historical Review was published by the Institute for Historical Review.

CODOH mirrors the old papers that were published in that journal.

Through his personal Internet Web site, Journal associate editor Greg Raven makes available an impressive selection of material from the Institute for Historical Review, including IHR Journal articles and reviews and IHR leaflets. Also included is a listing of every item that has ever appeared in this Journal, allowing callers …

Dr. Bernard Lewis, a leading specialist of Middle Eastern studies, is no stranger to academic controversy. But the pugnacious Jewish scholar never imagined that one day he'd find himself obliged to defend his view of history in a Paris court, much less that he'd be publicly compared to French "Holocaust …

In a book originally published in 1946, American writer Bergen Evans neatly disposes of a wartime fable about a German "death camp" in France, and at the same time discredits the durable myth that quicklime dissolves bodies. Writes Evans: In fiction and journalism, however, in so far as one can …

Ever-vigilant American television, newspapers and magazines take care to play up outbursts of "hate," especially incidents against Jews.

Half a century before the "Holocaust" term came into widespread use, and 15 years before the incessantly repeated "Six Million" figure of alleged wartime Jewish victims was ordained at Nuremberg, both were uncannily cited in an influential New York Jewish weekly. This was in the October 31, 1919, issue of …

How a society views the past not only reflects its current prevailing values and outlook, but also profoundly influences the way its people will shape the future. Over the past 20-30 years, influential scholars and their political allies have succeeded in ever more firmly imposing egalitarian, liberal-democratic, "multicultural" and "one …

Great Impact I will be 87 on my next birthday. During my life I have seen so many promising organizations come and go. I hope this will not happen with the IHR. Mind you, in the time you have been with us, from 1978, the Institute has made an impact …
