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.

  • Letters

    Hollywood and the Spanish Civil War For decades Hollywood and the rest of the American media have routinely portrayed the “loyalist” side in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in an admiring and sympathetic way. Good examples of such propaganda distortion of history are two widely praised wartime motion pictures. In “Casablanca,” the 1942 Warner Brothers…

  • Dissident Historical Views Banned in Germany

    In a drawn-out case that has received considerable international press attention, a German court recently sentenced Günter Deckert, leader of a small nationalist political party, to two years' imprisonment for “denying the Holocaust.” A Karlsruhe regional court handed down the sentence on April 21, 1995, after Deckert had already been found guilty of “inciting racial…

  • In Germany: Revisionist Center Offers “Truthful History'

    An important German publishing center dedicated to the “truthful treatment of German and European history in this century” has been turning out an impressive series of books and booklets. In cooperation with noted German historians and publicists, the “Contemporary History Archives/ Cultural and Contemporary History” center (“Archiv der Zeit / Kultur- und Zeitgeschichte“) has set…

  • Anne Frank

    Anne Frank Known around the world for her famous diary, Anne Frank is perhaps the most commemorated “victim of the Holocaust.” On the fiftieth anniversary of her death, and of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen camp where she died, she has been the subject of renewed attention. Translated into dozens of languages, more than 22…

  • Bergen-Belsen Camp: The Suppressed Story

    Fifty years ago, on April 15, 1945, British troops liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The anniversary was widely remembered in official ceremonies and in newspaper articles that, as the following essay shows, distort the camp’s true history. Largely because of the circumstances of its liberation, the relatively unimportant German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen has become…

  • The Death and Life of the Mafia in Italy

    James J. Martin graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1942 and received his M.A. (1945) and Ph.D. (1949) degrees in history from the University of Michigan. His teaching career has spanned 25 years and involved residence at educational institutions from coast to coast. Dr. Martin's books have included the two-volume classic, American Liberalism…

  • Murray Rothbard, 1926-1995

    When he died on January 7 [1995] in New York, the city where he was born in 1926 and spent most of his life, Murray N. Rothbard was the foremost libertarian thinker and activist of his age. With his passing, the world of unfettered scholarship has suffered a terrible loss. “As a libertarian figure,” commented…

  • Three Jewish Views

    'Disease' of 'Holocaust Teaching' … I find something obscene and irrelevant about the widespread concern in Jewish and friendly Christian educational circles with “Teaching the Holocaust.” There is no need to teach the Holocaust; humanity already knows only too well how to do it. One of the most ghoulish “Teaching the Holocaust” devices I have…
