Deborah Lipstadt's Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory

Richard Evans' Lying About Hitler: History, Holocaust, and the David Irving Trial &

Michael Shermer's Denying History: Who Says Holocaust Never Happened and Why do They Say It

Holocaust denial arguments are pro-Nazi, antisemetic and illogical. Two examples of denial arguments would be that the einsatzgruppen massacres in 1941 USSR were "faked" by British intelligence services at a sound stage in Toronto or that "the Jews declared war on Hitler first" in the 1930's.

I would also recommend you read Daniel Pipes excellent book Conspiracy which does a great job deconstructing why people believe in little green men and worldwide Zionist domination, wich for me is still a Middle East debate.

Um, Basil, you DO know that Daniel Pipes is considered by many to be a conservative (rightist) Zionist, right?

Can anyone not living in Germany possibly know what happened there 65 years ago? And there are still people living who saw the Holocaust. So denying it can never be done out of lacking knowledge but only out of ideological purpose. There are no arguments.

Those people are all Holocaust researchers who have written books refuting arguments by Holocaust deniers.

An excellent online resource for people interested in this is nizkor.org.

Right, but I have the book and I am aware and he has good arguments against deniers, just like the others I mentioned.
I don't follow him all the line about the right/left story.
I have a good selection of books, and I can not agree 100% with all of them but that does not make them bad books because for me those arguments are important, wether I am left/right.

Hey, I had to by them in English as a non English speaker. You must find these books on the market since you live in a English speaking region.

Perhaps a Amazone search will help, anyway, I bought them in Brussels and Lipstadt's one in the French version in Grenoble.

nizkor.org can also help to find these books (like QJ said)

Ah, ok. Just curious.

It's refreshing to see someone who reads books written by people they disagree with politically, particularly on issues relating to the Middle East.
