About this ebook
Denying History takes a bold and in-depth look at those who say the Holocaust never happened and explores the motivations behind such claims. While most commentators have dismissed the Holocaust deniers as antisemitic neo-Nazi thugs who do not deserve a response, historians Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have immersed themselves in the minds and culture of these Holocaust "revisionists." In the process, they show how we can be certain that the Holocaust happened and, for that matter, how we can confirm any historical event. This edition is expanded with a new chapter and epilogue examining current, shockingly mainstream revisionism.

I came across Michael Shremer's view on Holocaust denial through another one of his works and it found it interesting, thus I was glad to read this book. A little dogmatic in their use of historical methods, but overall they effectively refute holocaust revisionism. In the process, they make some good points and insights about the issue and about the study of history itself. The Holocaust is one subject which rarely ever gets dull, especially when contemporary phenomena such as holocaust denial is discussed.
