Contact: [email protected] Holocaust-Denial Literature; A Fifth Bibliography John A. Drobnicki This bibliography is a supplement to four earlier ones published in the March 1994, December 1996, September 1998, and December 2000 issues of the Bulletin of Bibliography. During the intervening time. Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in the scholarly lit- erature and in the mainstream press, especially due to the libel lawsuit filed by David-Irving against Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books and his subsequent appeal of that verdict. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves “revisionists” in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and remain as vocal as ever— Bradley R. Smith has con- tinued to send revisionist advertisements to college newspapers, generating publicity for his cause. Holocaust denial, which will be used interchangeably with Holocaust revisionism in this bib- liography, is a body of literature that seeks to “prove” that the Jewish Holocaust did not hap- pen. Although individual revisionists may have different motives and beliefs, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate Euro- pean Jewry. Hence they claim that the Holocaust is a “hoax” perpetrated by Jews (“Zionists”) in an attempt to blackmail the rest of the world for sympathy, money, and legitimacy for the State of Israel. This bibliography includes both works about Holocaust revisionism and works of Holocaust revisionism. Although Holocaust deniers write in many languages, the scope of this project (as with the four previous articles) has been limited to works in English. Because of space con- straints, URLs are provided for only some of the materials that are available online— rhost newspapers (including college publications) now have websites that make the full text of their articles available for various periods of time. Many of the articles dealing with David Irving and/or his lawsuits are also available on his website <http://www.fpp.co.uk/>. Readers should bear in mind that, because of its unstable nature, Internet addresses often change: URLs were accurate and operative at the time this project was submitted for publication. While this bibliography has been divided into many subjfect areas, it is acknowledged that many of the entries cross several categories, especially the works in the “General Overview” section. Materials regarding David Irvipg’s lawsuit against Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books are included under “European and Russian/Soviet Revisionists,” since Irving is a British national and the trial (and leave-to-appeal hearing) took place in London.

  • Il Negazionismo. Storia Di Una Menzogna 1
    Il negazionismo. Storia di una menzogna 1 Il negazionismo. Storia di una menzogna di Claudio Vercelli Il fenomeno del «negazionismo olocaustico», ovvero del rifiuto di considerare come effettivamente avvenuto lo sterminio degli ebrei per mano nazista data, nella sua origine, al momento stesso in cui l’Olocausto andava realizzandosi. La rimozione dell’evidenza storica è infatti parte di una più ampia strategia che si pone l’obiettivo di perpetuare ideologicamente il nazismo e i fascismi medesimi, evitando che ad essi siano imputate le loro concrete responsabilità, a partire dagli omicidi di massa di cui si sono ripetutamente macchiati. Gli assassini, infatti, nel mentre procedevano alla distruzione delle comunità ebraiche europee si adoperavano anche per occultare quanto stavano facendo. Chi, a guerra finita, ha sostenuto che quel che era successo “in realtà” non sarebbe mai accaduto, ha recuperato i motivi e i moventi che stavano alla base del tragico operato del Terzo Reich e dei suoi scherani. Il negazionismo, quindi, non è una ipotesi di interpretazione dei fatti alternativa alla storiografica “ufficiale” ma la negazione dell’evidenza. Affrontarne la sua presenza e perduranza, non solo come fenomeno ristretto, di nicchia, a tratti quasi amatoriale bensì in quanto falsificazione dei fatti, implica non solo tutelare la memoria del passato ma anche e soprattutto difendere il presente da qualsiasi manipolazione. La posta in gioco è la formazione dell’opinione pubblica. Poiché, come afferma George Orwell nel suo romanzo 1984: «chi controlla il passato controlla il futuro». La bibliografia qui proposta è stata curata da Claudio Vercelli in occasione della presentazione del suo volume Il negazionismo.

  • The Digital Experience of Jewish Lawmakers
    Online Hate Index Report: The Digital Experience of Jewish Lawmakers Sections 1 Executive Summary 4 Methodology 2 Introduction 5 Recommendations 3 Findings 6 Endnotes 7 Donor Acknowledgment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In late 2018, Pew Research Center reported that social media sites had surpassed print newspapers as a news source for Americans, when one in five U.S. adults reported that they often got news via social media.i By the following year, that 1 / 49 figure had increased to 28% and the trend is only risingii. Combine that with a deeply divided polity headed into a bitterly divisive 2020 U.S. presidential election season and it becomes crucial to understand the information that Americans are exposed to online about political candidates and the topics they are discussing. It is equally important to explore how online discourse might be used to intentionally distort information and create and exploit misgivings about particular identity groups based on religion, race or other characteristics. In this report, we are bringing together the topic of online attempts to sow divisiveness and misinformation around elections on the one hand, and antisemitism on the other, in order to take a look at the type of antisemitic tropes and misinformation used to attack incumbent Jewish members of the U.S Congress who are running for re-election. This analysis was aided by the Online Hate Index (OHI), a tool currently in development within the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center for Technology and Society (CTS) that is being designed to automate the process of detecting hate speech on online platforms. Applied to Twitter in this case study, OHI provided a score for each tweet which denote the confidence (in percentage terms) in classifying the subject tweet as antisemitic.

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: the Evolution of a Doctrine
    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: The Evolution of a Doctrine Published in: Hermann Kurthen/Rainer Erb/Werner Bergmann (ed.), Anti-Sem- itism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification, New York–Oxford 1997 Development of “revisionism” since 1945 Most people understand so called „revisionism“ as just another word for the movement of holocaust denial (Benz 1994; Lipstadt 1993; Shapiro 1990). Therefore it was suggested lately to use the word „negationism“ instead. How- ever in the author‘s point of view „revisionism“ covers some more topics than just the denying of the National Socialist mass murders. Especially in Germany and Austria there are some more points of National Socialist politics some people have tried to minimize or apologize since 1945, e. g. the responsibility for World War II, the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 (quite a modern topic), (the discussion) about the number of the victims of the holocaust a. s. o.. In the seventies the late historian Martin Broszat already called that movement „run- ning amok against reality“ (Broszat 1976). These pseudo-historical writers, many of them just right wing extremist publishers or people who quite rapidly turned to right wing extremists, really try to prove that history has not taken place, just as if they were able to make events undone by denying them. A conception of “negationism” (Auerbach 1993a; Fromm and Kernbach 1994, p. 9; Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz 1994) or “holocaust denial” (Lipstadt 1993, p. 20) would neglect the additional components of “revision- ism”, which are logically connected with the denying of the holocaust, this being the extreme variant.

  • 1 Antisemitism Rosh Hashanah 5780 September 29, 2019 Rabbi David
    Antisemitism Rosh Hashanah 5780 September 29, 2019 Rabbi David Stern Tonight marks my thirty-first High Holidays at Temple Emanu-El, a huge blessing in my life. In thirty-one years of high holiday sermons, you have been very forgiving, and I have addressed a diverse array of topics: from our internal spiritual journeys to Judaism’s call for justice in the world; relationship and forgiveness, immigration and race, prayer and faith, loving Israel and loving our neighbors; birth and death and just about everything in between in this messy, frustrating, promising, profound, sacred realm we call life. Except -- in thirty-one years as a Jewish leader, I have not given a single High Holiday sermon about antisemitism.1 References, allusions, a pointed paragraph here and there, yes. But in three decades of High Holiday sermons spanning the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries, not a single one about antisemitism. I’m hoping that doesn’t constitute professional malpractice, but it is strange. So I’ve asked myself why. Reason #1: I had almost no experience of antisemitism growing up. With one limited exception, I never even experienced name-calling, let alone any physical incident. All four of my grandparents were born in America, and our story was the classic trajectory of American Jewish integration and success. 1 Professor Deborah E. Lipstadt makes a compelling argument for this spelling. Lipstadt rejects the hyphen in the more conventional “Anti-Semitism” because it implies that whatever lies to the right of the hyphen exists as an independent entity.

  • Holocaust Denial in Australia
    ABSTRACT This paper explores the nature of Holocaust denial in Australia. It does so through a study of the beliefs and activities of the three organizations for whom Holocaust denial is a central belief: the Australian League of Rights, the Australian Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Adelaide Institute. Their activities, their international ties, and their relationship with the broader racist Right in Australia is considered. The paper concludes by reflecting on the future directions and responses to Holocaust denial. INTRODUCTION The nature of Australian Holocaust denial organizations, their activities, and their place in broader far Right circles is different from denial organizations in other countries. This is explained by the dominant role of the Australian League of Rights in far Right politics, the civil liberties origins of the Australian Civil Liberties Union, the lack of sizeable neo- Nazi groups in Australia, and the dominance of anti-Aboriginal and anti- Asian issues on the far Right agenda. In addition, unlike many European countries where denial is explained as a response to their wartime collaboration with the Nazis, this motive does not exist in Australia which fought against the Nazis and her allies. Although Holocaust denial is a fringe activity in Australia, it has significantly increased over the last two decades with a concomitant growth in collaboration between Australian and overseas Holocaust deniers. This is not just a Jewish concern for Holocaust deniers have become a leading element within the racist Right with whom they share a common worldview. This is because in addition to their antisemitism, Australian Holocaust deniers expound racist and xenophobic policies and views.
