Critique and counter-critique is one of the hallmarks of a scholarly attitude, so it goes without saying that revisionists are taking their opponents’ arguments and responses seriously. Hence, this section addresses the theses of several orthodox scholars on the Holocaust which have evoked revisionist responses. Although most orthodox scholars insist that revisionist arguments are not even worth looking at, a number of them have in fact breached the taboo and have not only looked at revisionist arguments, but have actually deigned to criticize them in one way or other. The revisionist responses and rebuttals can be found here as well.

Two historians in Austria recently made public what they say is the “first technical proof” that gas chambers were used to kill prisoners in German camps during the Second World War. This “major discovery” is a ventilator fan. In the face of the revisionist challenge, historians have for several years been searching for just one…

By Robert Faurisson, Douglas Collins, Leonidas E. Hill â™ May 1, 1994
Only rarely do those who detest Doug Collins' audacious skepticism about the Holocaust story ever bother to respond to the substance ofhis arguments. Normally his detractors react with blind invective. In a rare exception, two University of British Columbia historians replied to Collins' August 18 column – reprinted in the Nov.-Dec. 1993 Journal (pp. 10-11)…
