Denying History: Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened and Why Do They Say It?
Denying Historyis a courageous and accessible study of "a   looking-glass world where black is white, up is down, and the normal rules of   reason no longer apply." Authors Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have  immersed  themselves in the conferences, literature, and Web culture of  Holocaust  deniers; they have engaged the pseudo-historians in debate; and  they have  visited the concentration camps in Europe to investigate the truth  of what  happened there.Denying Historypresents Shermer and Grobman's  findings.  The book refutes, in detail, the Holocaust deniers' claims, and it  demonstrates  conclusively that the Holocaust did happen.It also explores the  fundamental  historical issue in all debates over the truth of the Holocaust:  the question  of "how we know that any past event happened." Thus,Denying  Historyis  a doubly useful book; it sets the record straight on one of  history's most  terrible events, and it instructs readers in the scientific,  logical, and  historiographical principles that can help us make wise  judgments about history  on our own.--Michael Joseph Gross
