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.

    Dr. Arthur R. Butz was born in 1933 and raised in New York City. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1965 he received his doctorate in Control Sciences from the University of Minnesota. In 1966 he joined the faculty of Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois), where he is still Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (at age 90 in 2024!). Dr. Butz is the author of numerous technical papers. From 1980 until its termination in 2002, he was a member of the Editorial Advisory Committee of The Journal of Historical Review.

    Dr. Butz is the author of The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry, first published in 1976, and a number of minor revisionist papers. For those writings, he has been vilified and ostracized ever since.

    As a regular reader of Smith's Report, you probably have a few questions you’d like to ask me.
