Dr. Arthur R. Butz was born in 1933 and raised in New York City. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1965 he received his doctorate in Control Sciences from the University of Minnesota. In 1966 he joined the faculty of Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois), where he is still Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (at age 90 in 2024!). Dr. Butz is the author of numerous technical papers. From 1980 until its termination in 2002, he was a member of the Editorial Advisory Committee of The Journal of Historical Review.
Dr. Butz is the author of The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry, first published in 1976, and a number of minor revisionist papers. For those writings, he has been vilified and ostracized ever since.

Two books are very good in exploring the failure of the Allies to act as though there was an “extermination” going on. They are Martin Gilbert's Auschwitz and the Allies and Walter Laqueur's The Terrible Secret. The latter is especially interesting because Laqueur in effect proves that it could not have been a “secret” if…

Veteran revisionists recognize that an outstanding small problem has been the “Vergasungskeller” that was evidently in or near Crematorium II in the Birkenau part of the Auschwitz camp. Crematorium II (and its mirror image Crematorium III) had two huge underground morgues, Leichenkeller 1 (LK 1) and LK 2, and a smaller morgue LK 3. LK…

Postwar testimonies of Jews range from the fantastic to the plausible. As for the fantastic, it would be hard to better the famous Elie Wiesel, who claimed that at Babi-Yar in the Ukraine “for months after the killings (of Jews) the ground continued to spurt geysers of blood.”[1] However the testimonies of lesser known Jews…

Most German concentration camps were in Germany and Austria (e.g. Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau) but some were in Poland (e.g. Auschwitz, Majdanek). Other camps in Poland (e.g. Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec) were not concentration camps but transit camps, i.e. most arrivals did not stay there but were reorganized to be sent on further (Belsen was also in…

That the Jewish leaders outside Europe, who were publicly speaking of “extermination”, were in contact with the Jews in occupied Europe but failed to inform them of “extermination” can be easily inferred from Yehuda Bauer's American Jewry and the Holocaust. Many more examples of this failure can be cited. A good recent one is the…
