Holocaust Denial  by Kenneth S. Stern
 
"Question: 'HOw many Jews died in the concentration camps?'
 Answer:   'About 300,000."
 Question: 'How did they die?'
 Answer:   'Mainly from recurring typhus epidemics that
                ravaged war-torn Europe during the period.
                Also from starvation and lack of medical
                attention toward the end of the way when 
                virtually all road and rail transportation
                had been bombed out by all the Allies."
 
This information, along with other Q&A were found in a leaflet produced by the Institute for Historial Review.
 
The IHR was opened by Willis Carto who is "a long-life anti-Semite." The purpose of the IHR was to premote Holocaust Denial and to give deniers worldwide and way to stay connected and to expose American white supremacists and neo-Nazis to this new idea.
 
"Fred Leuchter, a self-proclaimed and self-taught 'expert' on gas chambers, is the newest darling of the denial clan. He says he examined buildings in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Maidanek which would have contained chemical residue from the gase chambers if any Zyklon-B has been used, and found none."
 
This book is divided into five parts. The indroduction traces what denial is, and who is behind it. The first chapter examines denial in the United States; the second looks at deniall worldwide. The third chapter debunks the deniers' specific claims. The last chapter offers a framework for combating denial and anti-Semitism in the generations to come.
 
 
Denying the Holocaust By Lipstadt
 
In April 1993, in conjunction with the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Roper Organization conducted a poll to determine the extent of Americans' knowledge of the Holocaust. Neither the Roper Organization nor the American Jewish Committee, which sponsored the poll, expected any startling results. But they were surprised by the response to one of the questions. When asked "Do you think it possible or impossible that the Holocaust did not happen?" 22 percent of American adults and 20 percent of American high school students answered, yes, it was possible.
 
"Robert Faurisson, one of the world's leading deniers, was proponent of the notion that it was technically and physically impossible for the gaschambers at Auschwitz to have functioned as extermination facilities. Faurisson argued that compared to American execution chambers the German facilities were too small and primitive to have been killing chambers."
 
Faurisson is among hundreds of people who believe that Jews weren't gassed in Chambers and that they never existed. No matter what evidence history holds, Survivors are considered attention seeking Zionists.
