What influence is exercised on a society, when its children, from a very young age, are constantly bombarded with atrocity stories in books, documentaries and movies, depicting certain ethnic groups as diabolically evil perpetrators, and another as composed of innocent victims deserving all the compassion we can muster? Depicting history and the world in unrealistic black and white patterns must deform a society. Papers listed here address this issue.

MacKenzie Paine battles intolerance disguised as tolerance from a dusty hilltop in Mexico. Teaching tolerance through “Holocaust education” in the public schools is now the law in cities, counties, and states across America.

No country, with the possible exception of the United States, has been so massively subjected to “Holocaustomania” as Germany.

Peter Novick [author of the new book, The Holocaust in American Life] asserts that the Holocaust has desensitized us to other genocides, but stops short of asking who invented the Holocaust in the first place. Who decided to capitalize the noun “Holocaust” and transform genocide into a political weapon and fund-raising tool? In America, which…

Nearly 30 percent of Sweden's elementary and secondary school pupils “have doubts” about the orthodox Holocaust extermination story, a recent survey shows.
