When I started the series Holocaust Handbooks back in 1999 while preparing the publication of its first volume – Dissecting the Holocaust, which made its debut a year later – I always hoped that this series would eventually have as many as 30 volumes, but certainly at least 20. It was an ambitious project, for sure.
With this issue, we can actually announce that our prestigious series has officially reached FIFTY volumes!
The Birthday Child: As this volume of Inconvenient History goes to print in July 2024, the Holocaust Handbooks have grown to encompass 52 Volumes – pictured above – with No. 53 just having been submitted. Read them all free of charge at www.HolocaustHandbooks.com.
This would be a good point to stop, but knowing Carlo Mattogno and myself, I am sure that there is still more to come. Will we reach 100? Well, I kind of hope not, because there can be too much of even the best things, and asking people to wrap their heads around a series of 100 research studies may be too much to ask. Time will tell. At some point, someone else will hopefully take over editing the series, and at that point, all bets are off.
Speaking of difficulties to wrap one’s head around this series: I have recently received that complaint from various quarters. Anyone who wants to understand where Holocaust revisionism stands today, cannot but at least acknowledge this series. And if you want to fully comprehend revisionism, there is no other way than to absorb it completely. But how can anyone manage to read 50(+?) books totaling some 18,000(+) pages, and then retain all this information? This is borderline impossible. Anyone struggling to systematically read through, say, half of the series within a few months will probably find themselves in a position where they’ve forgotten already much of what they read earlier. It’s a losing battle with the fallible human memory.
Hence, an idea born in early 2022 was dusted up to condense and organize all this knowledge. As I am writing this, I am in the middle of this very project, deeply invested and highly focused. It will help us all in our attempts at wrapping our heads around it all. It will come to fruition hopefully later this year. We will report on this once the time has come.
Now I must get back to this project, working 14 hours a day, seven days a week. I’m on a mission…
Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist, which is comparable to a U.S. PhD degree. From 1990-1993, he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz (see The Chemistry of Auschwitz). He conclude in it that "the alleged facilities for mass extermination at Auschwitz and Birkenau were not suited for the purpose as claimed." As a result, he had to endure severe measures of persecution in subsequent years. Hence, he went into British exile, where he started a revisionist publishing outlet. When Germany asked Britain to extradite Rudolf in 1999, he fled to the U.S. There he applied for political asylum, expanded his publishing activities, and in 2004 married a U.S. citizen. In 2005, the U.S. granted him an immigrant visa based on his marriage, but seconds later arrested and subsequently deported him back to Germany in crass violation of U.S. law. In Germany, where he was put in prison for 44 months for his scholarly writings, some of which he had published in the U.S., where they are perfectly legal. Since not a criminal under U.S. law, he managed to immigrate permanently to the U.S. in 2011. Rudolf has published more than 90 books (currently available through Armreg US and Armreg UK), among them the 54 volumes of the Holocaust Handbooks. He has compiled 9 documentaries and authored 20 non-fiction books, among them the bestselling Holocaust Encyclopedia. With a brief interruption, he has managed the free-speech organization Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust since 2014, where we defend free speech at the forefront of corporate censorship and governmental persecution. In 2017, he became chief editor of CODOH’s quarterly periodical Inconvenient History. In early 2025, he launched the Holocaust Academy, dedicated to bringing critical thinking to Holocaust education. In that context, he organized the 2026 Holocaust Summit, dedicated to “Tackling the Most-Harmful Ideology Undermining Peace, Truth and Freedom Worldwide”.

TRANSLATORS—About 18 months ago I asked SR readers for volunteers to help us translate documents into Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Polish, Russian—or any other languages. All work done would be published on the Internet, on our World Wide Web site, and become part of a permanent, multi-lingual library of documents relating to revisionist theory….
Some readers may already know that we endeavored to get our message through to the educational institutions by mailing out sample copies of the first issue of THE JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL REVIEW to the mailing list of the Organization of American Historians. We rented their list perfectly openly, and made a special promotional offer to…
Introduction In my book Lectures on the Holocaust, I summarized on more than forty pages a plethora of reasons why witnesses may make untrue statements.[1] While spending a three-quarter year living together with Bradley R. Smith in his home at Rosarito, Mexico, from September 2010 to May 2011, I realized that I had missed one…
In 1966, Harry Elmer Barnes declared, “During the last 40 years, revisionism has become a controversial term.”[1] In the nearly 50 years since, “revisionism” has shifted from controversial to a purely negative term, at least in the eyes of the general public. Today “revisionism” has become synonymous with telling lies or distorting the truth with…
Recently the New York Times made it official: Revisionism has come of age in America. American historian Deborah Lipstadt has been hired by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to study the Revisionists, of whom she fears “some of their positions could enter the mainstream.” We at the Institute for Historical Review are proud of the…
