Slick Revisionists

By Arthur R. Butz ∙ October 29, 1996

Last updated on

An article in the Newark Star-Ledger of 23 Oct. 1996 (p 15) treats Web sites that some consider objectionable. Among these are sites of Holocaust revisionists. Steven Some, Chairman of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, said “These Holocaust deniers are very slick people. They justify everything they say with facts and figures.”

That's a hard one to answer.

Created 29 Oct. 1996.
