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

Dear AnswerMan, Both the 1971 and the 1996 edition of Michael Elkins' book *Forged in Fury* include a passage that describes the aftermath of the Aug. 2, 1943 uprising at the Treblinka concentration camp in Poland. Both editions describe the hunt for the Treblinka escapees—its Jewish inmates—in these terms: “For four days, the Germans prowled…

The three lines of Arabic poetry are by the well-known poet Ahmad Shawqi. Shawqi was exiled by then British occupation of Egypt, and he wrote the poem while in exile.

Dear AnswerMan, How do you explain the crematorium at Birkenau? Pauline Friedman AnswerMan Replies: If there is a topic that has been more thoroughly examined by revisionists than the Birkenau crematoria, I do not know what it is. My answer will be brief.

Dear AnswerMan, I am trying to understand the Revisionist stand. In my opinion, the point is Nazis kill millions of people. That really happened! So, how they killed those people and what ways they used to kill them, seem not important.(That is just my opinion.) 60,0000 to 1 million is also a huge number, isn't…

Dear AnswerMan, I read of an article published in an American-Jewish magazine in 1905 exposing a Jewish genocide of “6 million” persons during Eastern Europe pogroms.

Dear Answerman: You will find my question combative, no doubt, but I'm curious, nevertheless: At the Wannssee Conference, the Jews were specifically referred to as “the enemy,” and plans were undertaken to remove them to the east. (Hm! China, maybe??) Anyway, here is my question: since Germany had declared war on the U.S. just a…

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….
