The latest Holocaust fad of the month is Harvard Professor Daniel J. Goldhagen's book Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust. The book was published last month by Alfred A.

Waxman has written another of his brainless and innuendo-filled articles about Holocaust “revisionists,” this one titled: “Holocaust DeBunkers Persist.” In it he characterizes professor A.R. Butz, author of The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, as a bizzare figure who was “deported by…
