Dr. Bernard Lewis, a leading specialist of Middle Eastern studies, is no stranger to academic controversy. But the pugnacious Jewish scholar never imagined that one day he'd find himself obliged to defend his view of history in a Paris court, much less that he'd be publicly compared to French “Holocaust denier” Robert Faurisson.

The myth of the “gassing” of the Jews during the Second World War is only a recurrence – or a recycling – of a myth from the First World War: that of the “gassing” of Serbs by the Germans, the Austrians, and the Bulgarians. On March 22, 1916, the London Daily Telegaph printed, on its…

A series of extracts will give the record of one of the most revolting lies invented during the First World War, the dissemination of which throughout not only Britain but the world was encouraged and connived at by both the Government and the press.

Most people believe that roughly six million Jews were killed by National Socialist Germany during World War II in an event generally referred to as the Holocaust or the Shoah.
