Beschreibung

278pp. In this first full-scale history of Holocaust denial, Lipstadt shows how, despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence, this irrational idea has not only continued to gain adherents but has become an internationally organized movement. The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet it is a sad testament to our time that those who make such claims are no longer dismissed as members of the lunatic fringe but are gaining a hearing in respectable arenas. In this first full-scale history of Holocaust denial, the author shows how, despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence, this irrational idea has not only continued to gain adherents but has become an internationally organized movement.

Reseña del editor:

For years, those who claimed that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps was nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy, were treated as harmless cranks. But over the past decade, they have begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas. In this text, a social and intellectual history of Holocaust denial, Lipstadt shows how, despite thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence, this idea has become an international movement, with organized chapters, "independent" research centres and official publications that promote a "revisionist" view of recent history.
