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.
