They caught Eichmann.” My mother flew into the kitchen, hissing an epithet through tight lips—a mixed curse and hosanna that reverberated against the knotty Dine walls. I was sitting at the kitchen table with our neighbor and my mother's best friend Audrey, who gasped in response. The Israeli government had just announced that twelve days…

Show me a gas chamber.” It is the mantra of Holocaust deniers. On college campuses, television talk shows and the Internet, “revisionists” point to the absence of gas chambers after World War II as evidence they did not exist.

A spectre is haunting the small but articulate holocaust revisionist movement in America: the spectre of Nazism! The simple fact is that a substantial percentage of holocaust revisionists—perhaps as much as 25%—are Hitler and Nazi apologists.
