In spite of what their enemies might think, there weren't too many revisionists who were worked up about this year's presidential election. In general, there didn't seem to be any big concern over the fact that Al Gore had picked a Jewish running mate, and even in the immediate aftermath of Election Night there weren't…

Dear PBS, I look forward to your program on October 31 entitled: “Holocaust on Trial.” For me it will be of great interest to see how far PBS goes to distort the overwhelming evidence about Auschwitz, which shows that no one was ever, killed there in gas chambers.

S recent advertisement in the New York Times announced that Christianity was not responsible for the Holocaust, in spite of the fact that the cultural products of Christendom bristle with negative characterizations of Jews.

Norman Finkelstein's new book, The Holocaust Industry, which stirred a great deal of debate and interest in Europe and Great Britain, is getting the silent treatment here in the U.S..
