Why Holocaust revisionism?

The “Holocaust,” the alleged murder of some six million Jews by the German Nazis during the Second World War, has in recent years come under increasing fire from the Revisionists, those unconventional historians who challenge orthodox versions of past events. Researchers such as Arthur Butz, Robert Faurisson, David Irving, and Wilhelm Stäglich have become famous…

The Holocaust Controversy

The Contemporary Issue No subject enrages campus Thought Police more than Holocaust Revisionism.
