(from the same web site), here is this... __________________ The Holocaust Issue Even though IHR books and IHR Journal articles have consistently dealt with a broad range of historical topics, certainly the best-known and most controversial aspect of the Institute's work has been its treatment of the Holocaust issue. For example, the Los Angeles Times (May 15, 1994) has described the IHR as a “revisionist think tank that critics call the ‘spine of the international Holocaust denial movement’.” Although the Institute does not “deny the Holocaust,” over the years it has published detailed books and numerous probing essays that call into question aspects of the orthodox Holocaust extermination story. IHR publications have devoted considerable attention to this issue because it plays such an enormously significant role in the cultural and political life of America and much of the world. Opponents of the IHR, in their efforts to discredit and marginalize us, routinely mischaracterize the Institute as a “Holocaust denial” organization. This smear is completely at variance with the facts. Around the world awareness is growing that the “Holocaust” campaign is a major weapon in the Jewish-Zionist arsenal, that it is used to justify otherwise unjustifiable Israeli policies, and serves as a powerful tool for blackmailing enormous sums of money from Americans and Europeans. Even a few courageous Jewish writers have spoken out against what they call the “Holocaust cult,” the Holocaust “racket,” “Holocaustomania,” and the “Holocaust industry." If the revisionist view of the Holocaust were really as simplistic and indefensible as some insist, it would not have gained the support of university professors such as Arthur Butz and Robert Faurisson, historians such as David Irving and Harry Elmer Barnes, former concentration camp inmates such as Paul Rassinier, and American gas chamber specialist Fred Leuchter. These individuals did not decide publicly to reject the orthodox Holocaust story -- thereby risking public censure, and worse -- because they are fools, or because their motives are evil, but rather on the basis of a sincere and thoughtful evaluation of the evidence. __________________ihr.org Amazing....
