Holocaust + Final Solution

When Nazi Germany invaded Russia in summer of 1941, a “comprehensive” or “final solution” to the Jewish question was envisioned by Germany’s leaders. But what was this “final solution”? Was it a plan to deport the Jews into the “Russian swamps,” as Hitler had once stated, or was it a plan to systematically kill them all? The extant documents are quite clear about it, yet they contradict what a plethora of witnesses have stated. This question divides the two sides in this debate (notwithstanding one side insisting that there is no debate). The topic is huge in scope and scale – and it is the main focus of this website

Charles D. Provan and Nazi-Gas-Chamber Nonsense

I had no intention of ever again writing about the “Nazi gas chamber” theories of the late Charles Provan until I saw this statement in the highly influential Wikipedia online encyclopedia: “Provan has demonstrated the scientific feasibility of mass murder by diesel gas vans against the thesis of Friedrich P. Berg.” See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_D._Provan Despite the…

Is the Holocaust Well Documented?

In late September Iran’s controversial President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, spoke before the United Nations and at Columbia University’s school of international and public affairs.
