Denying the Holocaust - Deborah E. Lipstadt

The powerful and deeply disturbing book that
was at the heart of the David Irving libel case, now dramatized in the
film Denial.

The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion
that the Earth is flat.
Yet there are those who insist that the death
of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax
perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy.
For years those who made
such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic
fringe.
But they have now begun to gain a hearing in respectable
arenas.

In this famous book, reissued now to coincide with the film based on the legal case it provoked, Denial,
Deborah Lipstadt shows how--despite tens of thousands of witnesses and
vast amounts of documentary evidence--this irrational idea not only has
continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement,
with 'independent' research centres, and official publications that
promote a 'revisionist' view of recent history.
Denying the Holocaust argues
that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews
but has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth
and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.
