Mainstream media and orthodox scholars usually turn a blind eye to Holocaust revisionism and its proponents, but there are numerous exceptions to that rule, each one of them causing a major or minor public uproar. Here you can find some of these cases, organized by countries where they occurred.

Whereas “Holocaust denial” is a crime in France, Germany and some other European countries, skepticism of the familiar Six Million story is widespread in Arab and Muslim countries. Gamal Abdel Nasser, the charismatic Egyptian president and pan-Arab leader, said in a 1964 interview: “No one, not even the simplest man in our country, takes seriously…

Even before it began on January 11, 2000, the libel trial in London’s High Court of Justice brought by historian David Irving against Jewish activist Deborah Lipstadt and her British publisher had attracted a good bit of attention.

Someone has passed on to me a comment by Jean Stevenin, a lawyer of the Paris bar: “This is a continuation of the Faurisson affair!” For him, at bottom, the Garaudy/Abbé Pierre affair is (as was the Roques affair or the Notin affair) a growth, a resurgence and a continuation of the Faurisson affair, which…

Under the front-page headline, “The Myth of the Holocaust: The Truth About the Fate of the Jews in the Second World War,” the Moscow paper Russkii Vestnik (“Russian Messenger”) has devoted an entire special issue to an effective revisionist analysis of the Holocaust extermination story. This special issue of the Moscow paper Russkii Vestnik is…

A new revisionist book in Turkey has been receiving both warm praise and sharp criticism. Published in Istanbul, Soykirim Yalani (“Holocaust Deception”) is the first book-length dissident study of the Holocaust issue to appear in the nation of some 64 million people. The handsomely produced 285-page softcover work, subtitled “The Secret History of the Zionist-Nazi…

In early 1995 a major Japanese magazine, Marco Polo, was forced to shut down because it had published a ten-page article disputing the orthodox Holocaust extermination story.

Under this pressure, the large Bungei Shunju publishing…

Even as independent thinking is being suppressed in “politically correct” America, and erased in today’s national-masochist Germany, happily some remnants of traditional Gallic nonconformism are still alive in France. If a Frenchman asks you the rhetorical question “Do you think I am a fool?,” it means he is irritated by your naive assumption that he…
