Sarah Silverman on the Holocaust

We've posted a video of Jewish comedienne Sarah Silverman's unusual take on the Holocaust.

New library section

Instead of a listing of books in our collection, we've now got a dump from the software we use to keep track of our books. The link to the new section is in the same location as our dry, old listing, but in case you haven't been there recently, you can find it here.

Upcoming site changes

Over the next month, we're going to be making some big behind-the-scenes changes to the site. Although we're retaining all the content we have now, as well as the "look and feel," you may run into some dead ends and bad links. Please bear with us through this transition. Thanks.

Send us your contest entries

The deadline is approaching for the 5th Annual David McCalden Most Macabre Halloween Holocaust Tale Challenge. Send in your entries ASAP. We already have some great submissions ... why not send yours today?

Video archive updated

After YouTube pulled the plug on the video series, One Third of the Holocaust, our video archive page has not worthy of its name. Now, we have a new video archive, with each of the three videos from One Third of the Holocaust: One Third of the Holocaust, Buchenwald, and Nazi Shrunken Heads.

Zundel sentenced to five years

A court in Mannheim, Germany today sentenced Holocaust revisionist Ernst Zundel to five years in prison on 14 counts of thought crimes. Zundel has already been in custody for more than two years, first in the U.S., then in Canada, and -- since March 2005 -- in Germany. As in the U.S. and Canada, the German judge sentenced Zundel on the pretext that he is a threat to national and international security. In other words, the security of every nation on the planet is based on a hoax; revelations about this hoax through freedom of speech and thought will destroy that security and presumably lead to bloodshed and destruction of the world as we know it.

If this is true, how safe can any of us be? Each of us walks a thin line: On one hand, we too might be adjudged to be a threat to international security and jailed. On the other hand, our security is guaranteed only by continued lies -- any truth might result in our destruction.

News reports about the Tehran Conference

Les Revues Revisionnistes (www.revurevi.net) has posted an Adobe PDF file containing news reports of the revisionist conference in Tehran. The file contains copies of printed accounts in five languages, including English.

Letters to the Webmaster: 'You are to be ashamed for twisting the facts'

My name is Eva Mozes Kor, the subject of your ridicule. How sad that you are a sick mined individual, as is your group to twist the facts. I was injected with 15 injection a week, I was between life and death, but I willed myself to survive. When I didn't die Miriam was taken back to the lab injected with something to stop the growth of her kidneys. After the war she always had kidney infections, by 1987 her kidneys failed, I donated my left kidney, a few years lated she developed cancer of the bladder that killed her in 1993. Her Kidney problems started because of the Auschwitz experiments.

I wonder what kind of twisted mind, and twisted agenda would create an e-mail like your's?

Since you don't believe that what happened to us happened, I wish your whole family to end up in Auschwitz like mine, and your brother and sister have the same kidney problems like mine did.

Even though I wish you my destiny, I FORGIVE YOU, because you don't know what you are talking about.

Eva Mozes Kor

Newly-released document supports revisionist position

A newly-released document from J.A. Topf & Söhne supports the revisionist position that the morgues in the Birkenau crematories were not Nazi gas chambers. The existence of the document, dated February 1943, has long been known, but only now is it being made available to researchers. The full details can be found on the CODOH site.

Letters to the Webmaster: 'holacost details'

Dear Sir

My wifes great uncle was one of the soldiers that liberated bergen belsen and his photographs of the many thousands of dead bodies have been on show as part of the official photographs of the attrocities committed there

I am pleased to tell you that he always admitted that after finding the bodies and getting over the shock they collected together all the SS and local nazi soldiers and had some fun with them

For the SS they used to shoot them in the gut and lay bets on how long they could scream. If they went quite they would cover some or all of them in petrol a set them a light. They then had further fun seeing how far these human torches could run. sometimes they would set fire t o a number of men if they wanted to get a good display going.

For the nazi soldiers they had them did a large hole and climb in after which they covered them using a buldozer. It took several hours for the mound to stop crying. During this time they sat round eating and laughing

My wifes uncle only regret was that the army would not send over more prisoners for him to dispose of

I hope this helps you relise that your publication is utter rubbish and am pleased to say why not to many from belson were ever tried for criimes they committed

Irving released from prison

Vienna's highest court has ruled that controversial British author David Irving can be released from jail. The court granted the historian's appeal against his three-year sentence and ruled that he could serve out the remainder of his term on probation. The court rejected calls by the prosecution that his sentence be increased. Instead it reduced his sentence from three to two years, with one of those years to be served on probation. As he has been in jail since his arrest in November 2005, the ruling means he can be released from prison immediately.

French president orders probe into revisionist comments

French President Jacques Chirac has ordered a probe into revisionist comments made by the French scholar Robert Faurisson at an Iranian conference on the Holocaust this week. Chirac has asked Justice Minister Pascal Clement to open a preliminary investigation into the comments made by Faurisson, a retired literature professor well-known for his revisionist views.

International Holocaust study group formed

TEHRAN — In the wake of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call for an independent investigation of the so-called Holocaust, an interim committee has been formed to study Jewish allegations.

General secretary of the new group, the International Holocaust Research Committee, is Dr. Mohammad Ali Ramin. Named to serve with him are a number of academics and historical revisionists, including Dr. Christian Lindtner of Denmark, Lady Michele Renouf of the United Kingdom, Bernhard Schaub of Switzerland, Dr. Serge Thion of France, and Dr. Fredrick Töben of the Adelaide Institute in Australia.

The committee has been assigned a threefold purpose:

1. to constitute an objective, impartial truth-seeking body to investigate Holocaust extermination claims;
2. to establish an international justice commission for determining penalties to be imposed upon those found guilty of perpetrating the "Holocaust" accusation, should it be proved to be false, to determine those reparations to be paid to any unjustly accused, as well as to determine the form of punishment for those found guilty of false accusation; and
3. to prepare the next international Holocaust review conference.

First state-sponsored Holocaust conference in Iran

The first-ever state-supported conference to examine Holocaust extermination claims from all sides is being held in Iran today and tomorrow (December 12). Among those scheduled to appear are Robert Faurisson, Georges Theil, Bradley Smith, Fredrick Toben, and David Duke. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to address the conference.

David McCalden bio updated

We've expanded and improved the biographical information about David McCalden, given the interest in this year's Halloween contest. Also, we're now making available another one of McCalden's booklets, Exiles from History, which is linked from his biography along with his piece, The Amazing, Rapidly-Shrinking 'Holocaust'. A version of this biographical information is set to appear in an upcoming issue of Bradley Smith's "Smith's Report." A report on our latest Halloween contest is also slated for "Smith's Report."

Germar Rudolf to face charges

German revisionist Germar Rudolf will appear Tuesday in the state court in Mannheim, accused of 'denying the Holocaust' since 1997 via documents and on the Internet. 'Denying the Holocaust' is a crime in Germany, where it carries a maximum sentence of five years. U.S. authorities arrested Rudolf in 2005 when he appeared at an immigration office in Chicago to apply for a green card based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen.

Bruno Gollnisch on trial for 'Holocaust denial'

The deputy leader of France’s National Front (FN) party, Bruno Gollnisch, went on trial Tuesday for "disputing crimes against humanity" over comments he made two years ago on the Holocaust. Gollnisch, 56, who is a member of the European parliament, faces a possible year in jail if he is found guilty after two days of hearings. In October 2004 Gollnisch said at a press conference that he did not "question the deportations (nor) the hundreds of thousands, the millions of dead ... As for the way they died, there has to be debate." He went on: "I do not deny the existence of deadly gas chambers. But I am not a specialist on this, and I think we should leave historians to discuss it. And this discussion should be free."

One Third of the Holocaust

The site containing the video, "One Third of the Holocaust," has moved to a new URL, and made each segment available on YouTube (search for "holocaust denial movie"). As a short-cut, we've made the YouTube versions available here. The quality is better on the main site, but the YouTube versions are still very effective.

Translation help wanted

The Holocaust Historiography Project is looking for someone to help translate our Holocaust-related videos and web pages into Farsi in time for the December conference in Persia.

We are a small non-profit educational organization based in California. Our e-mail contact address is webmaster@historiography-project.com.

We have funds available to pay for help.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for a much-needed conference on the Myth of the Holocaust. Belief in the Holocaust Myth is the new religion in the Western countries, and President Ahmadinejad correctly comments that further research and study on the matter are needed. Amazingly, within days of the President's call for a conference, the Majdanek Museum in Poland dropped the number of killed from 360,000 people killed to 78,000 people.

Revisionists suffer oppression in several western countries. Professors have lost their jobs, people have been attacked and beaten, scholars jailed. At this moment several honest scholars are in prison facing years of incarceration for expressing doubt about the Ugly Myth: Ernst Zundel and Germar Rudolph in Germany, the writer David Irving in Austria. It is amazing that honest historic research and discussion has been criminalized by self-proclaimed defenders of liberty. Unfortunately, many of these same "Defenders of Freedom" attack the integrity of the government of President Ahmadinejad and threaten the Iranian people. (See www.ihr.org.)

The Holocaust Historiography Project is resolutely against the use of military force to resolve International disputes and is against the censorship and criminalization of historic research and study. It is said that the first casualty of war is the truth. We feel that the hate propaganda and the false exaggerations of the Holocaust Myth are leading to conflict with Iran.

We feel that there is a great need to provide accurate information to the Persian people and to encourage discussion. Please let us know if your offices can provide translations of webpages and provide Farsi subtiles on videos. Please also know the approximate costs. Thank you.

More Holocaust cartoons

We've posted copies of the winners of the Iranian Holocaust Cartoon Contest, along with dozens of the other entries.

New Holocaust-related news feeds

We now have pages with up-to-the-minute updates on Holocaust-related topics, such as the Holocaust itself, Ernst Zundel, Robert Faurisson, and David Irving.

Faurisson on the Holocaust

With Dr. Robert Faurisson currently on trial for thought crimes in France, it seemed appropriate to post a "bootleg" version of the long-awaited English version of his book, the working title for which is/was Faurisson on the Holocaust. This version is pretty rough, as the "translation" from one digital format to another did not go smoothly. However, the bulk of the material is here, and with any luck as time goes on this bootleg version will become as polished as Dr. Faurisson would want it to be. In the meantime, let us know if you spot any egregious errors.

One Third of the Holocaust

If you haven't yet seen the new audio-video site, One Third of the Holocaust, you have to check it out. OTOTH deals with extermination claims at Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec. There are four hours of video here (!), but the information is presented in 30 segments, so you don't have to watch the entire thing at one time. If you're a fan of any of the spate of cop/legal/CSI shows on TV these days, you'll especially love Episode 22.

'Der Giftpilz' now on-line

The Archive section now has a version of Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom), published by Julius Streicher's Der Stuermer in 1938. This book was cited as document 1778-PS in the Nuremberg trials.

You can find page images and an English translation here.

Update on Georges Theil

by Robert Faurisson

In a note bearing today's date, G. Theil, recalling another, earlier conviction, estimates the sum total of his financial penalties and costs at €130,000.

G. Theil's postal address: BP 50-38, F-38037 GRENOBLE CEDEX 2 (France)

Update on Georges Theil

by Robert Faurisson

In France, repression of revisionism is increasing.

On March 3, 2006 Georges Theil, 65, a retired telecommunications engineer, had his conviction for "Holocaust denial" upheld by the court of appeal of Limoges. He was guilty of sending, in a period running from April to June 2004, a booklet of his own revisionist writings to just a small number of persons in that region, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment without remission and a fine of €30,000, ordered to pay €9,300 in damages, and hit with still other sanctions as well.

Yesterday, May 17, in Lyon the same Georges Theil was convicted on appeal for having made a brief revisionist statement on October 14, 2004 in front of a local television journalist's camera, and sentenced to a new six-month prison term without remission, fined another €10,000, and ordered to pay €40,500 in damages as well as to cover the costs of having the judgment published in two newspapers (probably as much as €8,000).

The offender has lodged a petition concerning the first case with the superior court of appeal in Paris, and is going to do the same for the second. If he fails there, he will, in principle, have to go to prison. In the first case, he has already paid out €39,300, and even a bit more. In the second case, he is going to have to pay out €50,500, not counting the legal publication fees. Some organisations have reacted with lightning speed: this very morning, by faxes sent to Georges Theil's solicitor, they were demanding their pound of flesh.

In addition to these financial penalties it is appropriate to note, for the six proceedings involved (trials, first appeals, final appeals), the lawyer's fees and other costs amounting to substantial sums.

As for the French media, they either pass these convictions over in silence or say they are glad of them.

On January 15 of this year, Georges Theil had sent out a plea for support to the 45 French intellectuals who were ostentatiously demanding, in the name of freedom of historical research and freedom of expression, repeal of the laws hindering those freedoms. Only two intellectuals answered him: one, Edgar Morin, who is Jewish, told him he could not help in any way because he had himself been found guilty of "racial defamation" (he had, to the mind of the Paris court of appeal, too strongly criticised Israeli policy!); the other, professor René Rémond, a Catholic and a shabbos goy, wrote back curtly expressing his refusal to come to Theil's aid.

New trial for Faurisson

French revisionist Robert Faurisson's most recent trial is scheduled for Tuesday, July 11, in the XVIIth chamber of the Paris criminal court (2, 4 Boulevard du Palais; nearest underground station: "Cité") at 1.30 p.m. Faurisson is accused of having granted, last year, an interview of revisionist nature to the Iranian radio and television station Sahar, in the context of a telephone conversation with a Teheran journalist who had called him. Because the satellite channel Sahar's broadcasts can be picked up in France, France's Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (CSA), headed by Dominique Baudis, filed charges against him with the public prosecutor's office in Paris.

The Holocaust in Alabama

Holocaust revisionism has surfaced in the race for Attorney General in Alabama, of all places. Whether or not democratic candidate Larry Darby is correct in his views, one has to wonder what in the world any of this has to do with politics in America in 2006. Why does anyone even care?

Siegfried Verbeke released from prison

Revisionist Siegfried Verbeke has been released from prison after spending nine months in prison and paying a 1,000 euro fine. His passport has been confiscated and he is restricted to living either in Belgium or Germany.

New server

Thanks to a generous supporter, we now have our own server, which is housed in a secure facility that features climate control, power conditioning, back-up power, and multiple connections to the Internet. We've split the site into two parts: The more active items are on the new server, while the archives are on the "old" new server. We're still working out the bugs and getting everything set up, but we should get settled into our new electronic home in the next few days.

The truth hurts

A planned conference by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) imploded Wednesday after the group distributed to attendees an "anti-Semitic" article entitled, "The Jewish Declaration of War on Nazi Germany.” Wouldn't you think that a group of university professors would be able to answer any claims made, if the claims were false? Maybe the real problem is that Judea did declare war on Germany shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power.

Prof. Art Butz, master of the universe

An attack on Art Butz in the February 13 Daily Northwestern, implies that Dr. Butz can unleash violent forces by disagreeing with the traditional version of the Holocaust extermination myth. Of course, the members of the religious faculty at Northwestern who signed this ad, fail (as always) to identify even one area in which Dr. Butz is incorrect, although they did manage to find space to say that Butz makes false claims, promotes fraud, and allies himself with the forces of hate. (Our guess is that "forces of hate" is not a reference to Al Franken, Barbara Streisand, and Rosie O'Donnell.)

Send us your Holocaust cartoons

Tehran's Hamshahri newspaper has launched a competition to find the 12 "best" cartoons about the Holocaust. We're not that picky: Send us your Holocaust cartoons and we'll publish each of them ... no limit. It would be especially nice to get copies of the old Konk cartoons that deal with the Holocaust issue. Be certain to send attribution with each cartoon you send.

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.

From fiction to fact -- just like that

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble said Tuesday they were making changes to certify Elie Wiesel's "Night" as non-fiction. Barnes & Noble is removing the book from its fiction list, and Amazon is changing the categorization of "Night" and revising a description to make clear it does not consider the book a novel.

Iran: Holocaust Conference Soon In Tehran

Tehran, 5 Jan. (AKI) - Iran has decided to rewrite and revise the history of the Holocaust. Following the repeated declarations by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other senior government officials on the need to re-examine the history of the genocide of the Jews during the Second World War, the association of Islamic Journalists of Iran has been tasked with quickly putting together an international conference on the Holocaust.

"President Ahmadinejad has placed at the centre of international attention, a very important question on the truthfulness of the version that Europe and the Zionists have imposed on the world on the murder of Jews during the years of the great war, and therefore we are of the opinion that it is useful and necessary to organise an international conference on that theme, where all the historians and researchers, even those that do not believe in the official version, will be able to express themselves freely," Mehdi Afzali, spokesperson of the Association of Islamic Journalists told Adnkronos International (AKI).

"We want to offer a free and democratic platform to the historians to examine in-depth this myth, seeing that in different European countries there exist laws against democracy and freedom that to do not allow intellectuals who believe in a version distinct from that which is officially pronounced on the Holocaust," added Afzali.

"We will invite those who believe in the imposed version as well as all those who have spent years of their lives in the study of documents related to the Holocaust and have come to the conclusion that the history books in schools and universities do not correspond to the truth," said Afzali, who however refused to supply the names of the revisionist historians who have been contacted to appear in the conference in Tehran. Revisionists are those who deny that the Holocaust ever happened.

In Iran, books by the English historian, David Irving, currently in custody in an Austrian jail after having been accused of denying the Holocaust, are very popular.

Among the names of possible guests at the conference are the Israeli journalist lsrael Shamir, a convert to Christianity, and Horst Mahler from Germany, a former member of the the terrorist group, the Red Army Faction. Other revisionist scholars, such as the French Robert Faurisson and the American Arthur Butz, are also some of the other possible participants of the conference in Tehran.

CSM opinion piece calls for freedom of speech for Irving

Writing in The Christian Science Monitor, Brendan O'Neill calls for freedom of speech for David Irving in Europe. This is noteworthy, given the CSM's historically anti-German leanings.

The intellectual cowards at The Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center

Despite the best efforts of The Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Holocaust Historiography Project is still on-line. On December 12, 2005, we received word from our previous hosting service that The Friends had lodged a "hate" complaint against our site. What a shame The Friends didn't contact us directly. What a shame The Friends couldn't point out a single error in fact or conclusion. Perhaps The Friends claim to have found hate on this site because that is what they brought with them. As with so many other such groups, with this action The Friends have shown themselves to be intellectually cowardly and morally bankrupt on the Holocaust.

Here's the message sent by our previous web hosting company:

"We have been contacted by Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies regarding the content of the website www.historiography-project.org. Upon our investigation we find that the content contained on your website is offensive to the community due to its Holocaust denial nature and for this reason we are unable to continue offering web hosting services for it."

Usually when you receive a message such as this, it's a done deal -- you can protest, but it will do you no good. That's what happened in this case, too. We pointed out the moral and intellectual fraud inherent in such a complaint. We pointed out that there is no "Holocaust denial" material on this web site. We even pointed out that when people don't stand up for freedom of speech, they will soon find they have none. We had our attorney write to them, and some select friends. There was no response from our previous host, and the site was shut down within hours of the notification.

Fortunately, we were able to use those hours to obtain temporary alternate hosting. By the next day, we had secured more permanent hosting arrangements.

So, we're now with a new web hosting company, and we're setting up "mirrors" (copies of the website) with various servers around the world, with fast switching amongst servers. We should be less exposed to this type of censorship in the future, and should it happen again, we will be able to respond more quickly, with even less service outage than this time.

You may notice a bug here or there as we transition from the old host to the new. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but at least the material is all still here, and still available.

We have a bunch of winners

Announcing the winners of our 2nd Annual David McCalden Most Macabre Halloween Holocaust Tale Challenge! First place goes to Charles Krafft, second place to William Comer, and honorable mention to Simon Gilford. In one respect, though, the real winner was Germar Rudolf, who was named by each of our winning contestants as the person to whom the prize money should be sent. So, Germar's legal defense fund is $250 richer, thanks to these three fine gentlemen. Of course, it didn't seem right to send Germar money without remembering Ernst Zundel, so we're kicking in an extra $250 for Zundel's defense fund, too.

New archive material on-line

It's going to be a huge project, but HHP is going to try to put the contents of the 11-volume Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression documentation on-line here. This material is sort-of available elsewhere on-line, but there are annoying mistakes and gaps in the presentation. HHP is not claiming to be perfect, but documentation this important should be properly presented, and we're going to try out best to see that it is. This will be a long-term project, so don't expect to have the entire set available overnight.

Germar Rudolf jailed

Germar Rudolf and his wife go to the Chicago office of the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) for a marriage interview. It goes well and ends with the INS certifying that their marriage is real. As they are about to leave, however, two officers of the INS appear and claim that Germar had been sent a letter instructing him to appear at their Chicago office for photographing and fingerprinting, and that he has not complied. Neither Germar nor his lawyer received such a letter, and they have not been shown a copy of it. The failure to appear would not in itself have brought any drastic action; in fact, the INS had had him photographed and fingerprinted long ago at the FBI office in Huntsville, AL. What exacerbates the situation is that recently the German government has made its second request for his extradition and some clerk at the INS, assuming the matter involved a real criminal case, flagged his file. In any case, Germar is detained and sent to a jail about 50 miles from Chicago.

Archived JHR materials now available

We've added files from The Journal of Historical Review. Technically, the JHR is still being published by the Institute for Historical Review, but the IHR hasn't published anything new in years, and seems to be doing virtually nothing, despite having a staff of three, 6,000 feet of offices and warehouse, six (count 'em!) different websites, and more targets of opportunity than you can shake a stick at. I'm making these files available in case it goes out of existence. Many articles from JHR dealt with issues other than the Holocaust, but I'm presenting it all more or less as it appears on the IHR website as a gift to the historiographic community.

DC Dave analyzes Andy Rooney

Ernst Zundel charged in Germany

Ernst Zundel appeared in a German court today for his arraignment on the charge of denying the Holocaust. Denying the Holocaust is a criminal offense in Germany. If Zundel is found guilty of inciting hatred, he could face up to five years in jail. Last week, politically-correct Canadian Federal Court Justice Pierre Blais created the pretext for deporting Zundel by ruling that Zundel had links to neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups. "Mr. Zundel's activities are not only a threat to Canada's national security but also a threat to the international community of nations," Blais said in justifying his improper ruling.

Canadian authorities deport Zundel to Germany

Canada Tuesday deported Holocaust denier and former Tennessee resident Ernst Zundel to his native Germany. Once there, he is expected to be arrested on charges of inciting hatred via the Internet. German officials have said he would be arrested for decades of anti-Semitic activities, including repeated denials of the Holocaust, which is a crime in Germany.

Ernst Zundel set for deportation to Germany

Ernst Zundel has abandoned his fight to stay in Canada and is slated to be deported to Germany as early as Tuesday, his lawyer said yesterday. In a bitter denunciation of the Canadian legal system, lawyer Peter Lindsay said there was no point in trying to remedy the "horrible unfairness" to which Zundel had been subjected.

We've added Statcounter code to each page to help track visitors. It's fairly sophisticated and fast, and it doesn't clutter up the page. It's nothing sinister: We just need to get some idea how effective we are at getting the word out.

Site clean-up

Removed a bunch of dead links. Sorry it took so long. Isn't Linklint wonderful?

Global Anti-Semitism Review Act

President Bush signs into law the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act (S. 2292), stablishing a special department within the U.S. State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism, reporting annually to Congress. Because attempting to get at the facts of "the Holocaust" has been deemed anti-Semitic (along with any criticism of the actions of the State of Israel), expect instances of "anti-Semitism" to be on the rise.

Site changes

We have converted the site to use style sheets more heavily, discarding the tables we had been using for positioning. For some, this means the site may display oddly, but these pages all validate to Web standards, which is becoming increasingly important. If your browser doesn't display these pages properly, you should consider switching.

Also, frequent visitors will notice some minor housekeeping around the site, as some of the older, dead files are gone.

1st Annual Halloween Contest

Introducing our new Contest section. The 1st Annual David McCalden Most Macabre Halloween Holocaust Tale Challenge, in honor of David McCalden, ends Halloween, so get your entries in ASAP. History is not just fun -- it's rewarding!

Astonishing interview with Benny Morris

Added the astonishing interview with left-wing Jewish historian Benny Morris. As you read this interview, imagine the interviewee is -- say -- Joseph Goebbels, and mentally replace "Israel" and "Israeli" with "Germany" and Germany, and "Palestinian" with "Jew." Students of history will love Morris' using of the Stalinesque, "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." If Morris isn't an apologist for the actions taken by Third Reich Germany before and during the war, we don't know who is.

Germany Must Perish!

We've added Theodore Kaufman's 1941 book Germany Must Perish! This book and its positive reception in the United States made a big impression on Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, as it confirmed their view that there was a global effort by Jews to crush Germany and National Socialism.

Jurgen Graf looks at Jewish losses

We've added Jewish population losses in the German sphere of influence during the World War II, by Jürgen Graf.

HTML and CSS standards

Bringing more order out of the chaos. Switching from near-total reliance on Adobe GoLive to doing most of the coding and refurbishing with BBEdit, which allows much better validation of HTML and CSS. This meant dumping the headers and footers which were in non-compliant GoLive code, and replacing them with compliant BBEdit persistant includes. This massive undertaking did have the good side-effect of making it only a bit more work to replace the rather pedestrian navigation scheme, with a pure CSS menu system. If your browser does not properly render the menu system, upgrade to a standards-compliant browser! This may seem high-handed, coming as it does from the 9,345,987th-most-visited site on the web, but really -- standards must evolve, and how are they to prosper if we don't adopt them?

Order from chaos

Slowly bringing order out of the chaos: Formatting files in accordance with the styles (!?) we've set. The whipping (see below) continues.

"Directory" moved

We moved the master file directory up to the "root" level for tidyness' sake. We apologize to all of those who had it bookmarked. (Since removed.)

Site updates

We haven't been keeping the "what's new" page up-to-date. So what's new? In the last three years, some new material has been added -- especially to the Remarkable Nonsense, Admissions against Interest, and Documents sections, and we've added a whole new section on Holocaust satire. Got a great search engine going, and installed it on TOC pages throughout the site for ease of access (see above, as an example). Because we have been gathering tidbits to add to the site all along, however, we have a huge backlog of items to whip into shape. Therefore, if you see formatting irregulalities or items that don't seem to have received the full attention they should have before posting, it's due to the crush of time and the great number of tasks that need to be addressed.

New and revised files

Replaced the article on "Defining 'the Holocaust'" with a slightly newer version that now has sources. Also, added an article written some time ago comparing and contrasting different demographic studies of total Jewish deaths during the Second World War.

New location

We've moved the non-IHR materials on this site to a new location, due to Kaiwan's announced plan to shut down operations by the end of June.

New website for IHR materials

We've moved all files from the Institute for Historical Review to the new Institute for Historical Review website.

Zundel citations

We've added a file that has been around for awhile, but somehow never made it to the Web: a listing of media mentions of Ernst Zündel, who has been persecuted in Canada for more than ten years for his views on the Holocaust. Arranged by date, this is an invaluable reference for anyone studying the Zündel's case, or the methods of censorship used by anti-revisionists.

Remarkable Nonsense about the Holocaust

Added a new section, Remarkable Nonsense About the Holocaust. There is lots of material for this section, so stay tuned. Also, fixed a couple of typos we found here and there. Thanks to Jack Wikoff for the original idea.

The 1919 Jewish Holocaust

We've added an article that appeared in The American Hebrew in October 1919, in which author Martin Glynn refers to the "holocaust" of the "six million" Jews.

A comparison of 'gas chamber' doors

We've added a photographic comparison of a door to a known homicidal gas chamber to the three "doors" in the alleged Nazi gas chamber at the Auschwitz main camp.

Rudolf Hoss

We've made a million small changes, most of them "invisible" (though still time-consuming), and added Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Höss' May 14, 1946 handwritten confession to the gassing of 2 million Jews. This document is shown both in facsimile and translation, and there are a few comments. This is an excellent companion piece to our article on the uses to which anti-revisionists put various statements by Höss.

New and revised files

We've posted a copy of the very interesting-looking Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Holocaust Revisionism off of the alt.revisionism newsgroup.

New and revised files

Posted a new, expanded version of our examination of the uses to which the "testimony" of Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Höss is put by those who should know better. Also, posted the first draft of a new article attempting to define the term, "the Holocaust."

Robert Faurisson's enemies

Got some exciting news via e-mail about Robert Faurisson's situation in France. His enemies are forced to turn the scientific method on its head in their efforts to support Holocaust extermination claims.

New links

We've added links to both Michael A. Hoffman II's new Web site, and to the exciting new Web site by Canadian researcher John Ball, who has done so much work on air photo evidence related to Holocaust claims.

Judea declares war on Germany (1933!)

We've added both scanned and (partial) text versions of the Jewish world's declaration of war against Germany, from the Daily Express, March 24, 1933.

Zionism versus Bolshevism: A struggle for the soul of the Jewish people

We've added both scanned and text versions of Winston Churchill's February 8, 1920 article in the Illustrated Sunday Herald entitled, "Zionism versus Bolshevism: A struggle for the soul of the Jewish people." Also fixed some broken external links, and simplified the main page for faster loading.

Hitler's 'big lie' technique

Finally got so fed up with seeing people refer to "Hitler's Big Lie technique" that we did something about it. Although we have never attempted to read Mein Kampf, and have no interest in doing so, at one point many years ago we did happen to read what Hitler had to say about the "Big Lie." We dug up the passage (actually, we asked three other people for help finding it, and two of them provided it), and we present it here for all to see.

The Vergasungskeller at Birkenau

With the author's permission, posted a copy of "The Vergasungskeller at Birkenau," by Arthur R. Butz. [Since removed.]

Nazi poison gas technology

Republished another gem from FAEM, this one on Nazi poison gas technology. FAEM changes its content sporadically, so rather than risk losing it at some point down the road, we obtained permission to duplicate it here.

Tale of two gassings

Added a file received from a fellow revisionist, who has found some interesting discrepancies in two different accounts of what is supposed to be the same event -- a homicidal gassing. Critics of this piece now contend that these are not two different accounts of the same events, but rather, are different versions of the same account. To us, this just makes things worse. If there were two different accounts, then at least some of the discrepancies can be explained. But to have such divergence from one document implies a tremendous absense of scholarship among traditional Holocaust historians.

Shoah: Abraham Bomba, the barber

Added Bradley Smith's article, "Shoah: Abraham Bomba, the barber," which deals with one remarkable aspect of Claude Lanzmann's movie, Shoah.

Zionism and the Third Reich

As requested by a student of Jewish collaboration with the Nazis, we are happy to present Mark Weber's "Zionism and the Third Reich."

Arthur R. Butz' new website

Added some notes to "A short introduction to Holocaust revisionism," by Arthur R. Butz, as seen on Butz' brand new Web site. Butz promises to add to his site with new material from a different perspective on Holocaust revisionism, and will be well worth watching. [Since removed -- see Butz' site.]

Auschwitz Death Books

Added some additional material to "A short introduction to Holocaust revisionism." [Since removed -- see Butz' site.] Also introduced my analysis of the Auschwitz Death Registers, in HTML table format for those with compatible viewers.

How many deaths at Auschwitz?

Added Robert Faurisson's "How many deaths were there at Auschwitz?" As with nearly everything Faurisson does, this contains many insights. Also, added a link to Ahmed Rami's Radio Islam website.

Zundelsite mirror deleted

Deleted the Zündel mirror material to make room for more IHR material, now that the censorship scare seems to have passed. Zündel's site is becoming too big to mirror for mere mortals such as myself, anyway. We still have a partial mirror of Ernst Zündel's Web materials available on America OnLine (AOL), however. [Since removed.]

Site changes

Changed the main page out of sympathy with those who do not have huge monitors.

Adelaide Institute

Added links to the Adelaide Institute.

A Short Introduction to Holocaust Revisionism

Added "A Short Introduction to Holocaust Revisionism," by Arthur R. Butz. As you might expect, given the author, this is an excellent introduction for the interested layperson.
