Holocaust denial at the Auschwitz Museum

The Auschwitz Museum has published a report reducing the death toll at Majdanek to 78,000 or so. Interestingly, they are "revising" the death toll from what they claim was the "established" total of 400,000 or fewer, and not from the death toll of 1.5 million that was common knowledge for many years. No mention yet on whether or not this reduces the six-million figure (we guess it won't), nor whether there are any plans now to recall the thousands of books taking the U.S. to task for not believing stories in the New York Times about the 1.5 million deaths at Majdanek.

We're not holding our breath.
