Hitler, Adolf
The “greatest leader of all times,” as German propaganda had it during his 12 year reign, whose leadership led to the utter devastation of his own nation and the ruin of much of Europe…
The Plum Cake
Since the end of World War II a search has continued, and for many has ended with the quarry having eluded its hunters. Some believe what they seek never existed in physical form, but existed nonetheless. It is vitally important that it existed during the war though it has never been located by those chasing…
The Arafat Conspiracy
Some years ago Commentary magazine, the flagship publication for neo-conservative Jews, published an article by Milton Himmelfarb that made the simple assertion: “No Hitler, no Holocaust.” What Himmelfarb meant was that if it hadn’t been for the driving force provided by Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism, neither the Germans nor anyone else would have acted towards the…
Introduction to Hitler’s War
“To historians is granted a talent that even the gods are denied–to alter what has already happened.” I bore this scornful adage in mind when I embarked on this study of Adolf Hitler's twelve years of absolute power. I saw myself as a stone-cleaner–less concerned with architectural appraisal than with scrubbing years of grime and…
A Challenge from the USHMM
No other historical event enjoys the massive, separate commemoration on the national Mall in Washington that is accorded to the Holocaust, the catastrophe suffered by the European Jews during the Second World War. The authorities who created the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum have sought to exploit to the full, and beyond, this privileged location for…

David Irving: “Historian” for Hitler
Is David Irving a legitimate historian or a Holocaust denier? The answer may be: both. Irving does not have a college degree and has never been a part of academia, but his books about Nazi Germany have attracted praise from mainstream historians. His 1977 book, Hitler's War, was widely applauded, though many critics were concerned…
Hitler is Alive and Well — And Learning Russian!
Thu, Mar 21, 1996 Has anyone taken a look at what's going on in Russia today? The “Big Chunk” of the former Soviet Union is in a “Weimar-chaos”: the ruble is worthless (over 5,000 rubles to $1), and the only place you can use it is the post office. Even the Russian airline, Aeroflot, demands…
On Contemporary History and Historiography
Ladies and gentlemen, this is my first public speaking engagement in America except, I think, for an after-luncheon speech in Kansas to a Kansas City ladies guild of some kind. This, I think, is because of language problems. I am a master of many languages but the American tongue is one that eludes me. I…
The Missing Hitler Orders
As shocking as it may seem, no order for the extermination of the Jews written or authorized by Adolf Hitler has ever been discovered. Popular media frequently suggests that there is a significant amount of material from Hitler's hand that ordered a vast extermination program. The historical evidence is just the opposite. The result of…
