Journal of Historical Review

Volumes 1-21 · 1980 to 2002

The Journal of Historical Review began publication in 1980. Until 2002, when it ceased to exist, it upheld the tradition of Historical Revisionism of scholars such as Harry Elmer Barnes, A.J.P. Taylor, William H. Chamberlin, Paul Rassinier and Charles Tansill. Until 1992, The Journal of Historical Review was published four times a year in a small format (roughly 5.5″×8″). Since 1993 it appeared bimonthly (in letter size format) by the Institute for Historical Review. Back issues of many Journal issues published since Spring 1986 (Volume 7) are available from the IHR at www.ihr.org. CODOH is the only place where you can find online and for free ALL the papers of ALL the issues ever published, both as html and as PDF downloads. 80% of the work was done by Germar Rudolf, the rest by IHR employees.

You can either download each copy as a searchable PDF file (first table) or read each individual paper online (pull up the table of contents for each issue from the second table below, or navigate the Category menu to the left). The PDF we posted are based on scanned images, processed many years ago with a cheap OCR software. Since they have not been edited, they are riddled with errors.

  • 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…

    In early 1988, American execution hardware expert Fred A.

  • Revisionism and the Promotion of Peace

    During the last forty years or so, Revisionism has become a fighting term. To so-called Revisionists, it implies an honest search for historical truth and the discrediting of misleading myths that are a barrier to peace and goodwill among nations.
