AnswerMan works to correct the historical record of the Holocaust in the light of a more complete collection of historical facts and a more objective attitude.
Neither Revisionist nor Fundamentalist, AnswerMan seeks to enlighten all with regard to this one infamous event in twentieth century history.
Truth, it has been said is the first casualty of war, and it was most certainly the first casualty of the Holocaust. The political atmosphere today is not calm at all. Objective attitudes are difficult to come by. In spite of this, AnswerMan speaks openly and honestly. Somebody has to, you know, because if you don't use freedom, you lose freedom.
AnswerMan knows almost all and will tell all he knows in response to selected questions about the Holocaust and its related history. Since his time is not as infinite as his store of information, not all questions can be answered. Following the guidelines listed below will give your request a better chance of being chosen.
Recently it has been brought to our attention that some others have been attempting to claim credit for some of AnswerMan!'s remarkably trenchant historical judgments. Let's clear this up right now: the opinions expressed by AnswerMan! are his alone. They do not necessarily express the views of anyone else. On the other hand, if the reader is struck by a formulation striking in its cogency, lofty in its expression, and humane in its impulse, you may rest assured that it is an accurate representation of the revisionist spirit overall.

As SR readers will recall, AnswerMan is the persona of an active revisionist historian who shies from neither showmanship nor controversy (see SR 58). Here’s what college students visiting his page on CODOHWeb are reading regarding the recently canonized Jewish Carmelite, Edith Stein: Question: Press reports have made it seem as if Edith Stein’s recent…

Dear AnswerMan, What evidence is there to support the theory that Zyklon-B could not be used to exterminate millions of Jews in gas chambers? Nicole AnswerMan Replies: The substance is capable of killing people, of that there is no doubt. The problems with it are at least threefold. First, it would be a remarkably poor…

Dear AnswerMan, Is it true that the Diary of Anne Frank was written after WWII? Marlene AnswerMan Replies: That's a difficult call. What is known is that some portion of the diary was written in ballpoint pen, an item not invented until after the war. How much this impeaches the document we cannot say, but…

Dear AnswerMan, Were concentration camps during WWII really used in the way history portrays, did they really exist? John AnswerMan Replies: The concentration camps certainly did exist, by the hundreds! Prior to the war they were ordinary prisons that housed, in addition to ordinary criminals, a growing population of political prisoners and those identified as…

Dear AnswerMan, I believe I read a few weeks ago at one of the Revisionist sites that the Auschwitz gas chamber was 'reconstructed by the Poles in the 1960s and that an authority on the Holocaust had testified to this fact. I, perhaps, foolishly used this argument in a debate and have been challenged to…

Dear AnswerMan, Did the holocaust exist? Angela AnswerMan Replies: Of all the questions AnswerMan! gets, this is no doubt the most common, usually phrased as “Did the Holocaust happen?” or, in a more accusatory tone, “Are you trying to say that the Holocaust didn't happen?” Relax. The simplest answer to this question is that, of…

Dear AnswerMan, If the Jews of Europe were not exterminated during the Holocaust, I'd like to know what happened to the millions who once lived there. Pauline Friedman AnswerMan Replies: Because this question deals with a large subgroup within the much larger population of Europe during a major war, there is no simple single answer…

Dear AnswerMan, How can you ask for proof of one person being gassed? Didn't Josef Kramer admit fully to the gassings? Tim AnswerMan Replies: Your question is clearly a response to Bradley Smith's question that appeared in several college newspapers requesting the name of one person that was gassed at Auschwitz with proof. Your “proof”…

Dear AnswerMan, Whilst being a firm proponent of the revisionist cause, I am somewhat dubious about the existence of the aerial photographs as proclaimed on revisionist sites, for the same reasons I doubt the gas chambers, namely, that I have not seen any good series of aerial photographs of the camps, suitably clear and dated….

Dear AnswerMan, I have looked at other web sites and found articles about some groups that killed Jews by shooting them. Is this true, or is it just another lie from the holocaust lobby? Douglas Monroe AnswerMan Replies: The “some groups that killed Jews by shooting them” is probably either a reference to the Einsatzgruppen…
