Mass-murder denials: On at least one occasion, Germany publicly denied any intention to murder concentration camp inmates. An October 12 1944 letter talks of Germany's “press denial” of rumored intentions to murder Birkenau inmates. This letter has never been released to the public by the U.S. government. It is almost certain that in 1943, and…

A dejected subscriber is printed and processed for banishment after being caught using one of AOL's forbidden words, “breast”, on-line. Cyber Police scoffed at his plaintive insistence that he was trying to say “beast” and that he “never could spell too good noway.” “A likely goddamned story!” they sniffed. “These animals will say anything to…

The other day I cited a prominent and highly regarded Russian historian (that is, historian of Russia) whose interpretation of some aspects of 20th century Soviet history matched my own, and which in both cases tended toward a revisionist perspective. The rejoinder I received was something along the lines of “OK, so you found a…

We have found a sensible solution to the highly divisive issue of affirmative action: We can live with dismantling affirmative action if, in exchange, we as a society make the eradication of discrimination our No. 1 priority. We can do this by criminalizating the offense: Deny someone a job, a loan or an education because…

This article does not claim “the Holocaust never happened.” Those who say it does want to muddy the issue.

What proof exists that the Nazis killed six million Jews? None. All we have is postwar testimony, mostly of individual “survivors.” This testimony is contradictory, and very few claim to have actually witnessed any “gassing.” There are no contemporaneous documents or hard evidence: no mounds of ashes, no crematories capable of disposing of millions of…

Dear AnswerMan, I'm curious about the recent opening of the Nazi archive. Would we be able to, once and for all, settle this issue of how many Jews were actually killed by the Nazis? Could this be the moment of truth for the revisionists? Best, [name withheld for fear of persecution] AnswerMan Replies: Thanks for…
