Think of this like a buffet. Just try whatever looks interesting, in whatever order.
For easy searching by subject, please see the Holocaust Encyclopedia.
Media Appearances and Debates
These are conversational in style and excellent for a general audience.
The first two are explorations of general propaganda and manipulation. The others are direct attacks on key Holocaust claims.
There are several general overviews available. It is good to read at least one of these early on.
The most important repository of revisionist literature is undoubtedly the Holocaust Handbooks collection which now includes over 50 volumes, many of them authored by the tireless Italian revisionist Carlo Mattogno. Many of the volumes are a bit too specialized and detailed for the general reader. Volume 24 for example will tell you more than ever wanted to know about cremation furnaces. But when you are ready to dip your toe into this series, the titles below would be reasonable choices.

- Thomas Dalton with Kevin Barrett (2010) (R. Muehlenkamp & A. Mathis 2nd Hr)

The first two are explorations of general propaganda and manipulation. The others are direct attacks on key Holocaust claims.
- Denier Bud, Buchenwald: A Dumb, Dumb Portrayal of Evil
- Eric Hunt, The Last Days of the Big Lie
- Germar Rudolf, The Chemistry of Auschwitz
- Denier Bud, Auschwitz: The Surprising Hidden Truth
- Eric Hunt, The Majdanek Gas Chamber Myth
- Denier Bud, One Third of the Holocaust
- Eric Hunt, The Treblinka Archaeology Hoax
- Germar Rudolf, "Holocaust Skepticism: 20 Questions and Answers About Holocaust Revisionism"
- Arthur Butz, “A Short Introduction to the Study of Holocaust Revisionism" Originally published in student newspaper of Northwestern University where Dr. Butz was a professor.
- Ron Unz, “American Pravda: Holocaust Denial” A lengthy article that takes a completely different approach from most revisionist works. Highly recommended.
There are several general overviews available. It is good to read at least one of these early on.
- Thomas Dalton, Debating the Holocaust Readable, well-organized, concise, and reasonably comprehensive. Popularizes some of less accessible revisionist work, especially Mattogno.
- Samuel Crowell, The Gas Chamber of Sherlock Holmes [part 1 only] [Free Online] A study of how the gas chamber myth originated. Explores such factors as WWI chemical warfare and epidemics and delousing procedures that gave rise to it.
- Nicholas Kollerstrom, Breaking the Spell Kollerstrom, a specialist in history of science, has good coverage of certain technical issues and some original research on the Enigma decrypts, all presented in a casual style.
- Arthur Butz, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century [Free Online] This 1976 classic is by now very dated and does not reflect our current state of knowledge. The book is also a bit of a challenge to read as it is quite broad, examining the "hoax" as a whole, but also going quite deep into the details. Yet it remains relevant as there's no other book quite like it. In many ways, this was the foundation for modern Holocaust revisionism. Additionally, whereas most revisionist works focus on showing why the established history is false, this book goes further in explaining how and why "the hoax" developed.
- Germar Rudolf, Lectures on the Holocaust [Free Online] A long but readable introduction presented in a distinctive dialogue format. Covers a wide range of topics, including a lot of material not found in other overviews.
- Germar Rudolf, Bungled: Denying the Holocaust A rebuttal of Lipstadt's anti-revisionist book.
- Carolus Magnus, Bungled: Denying History A rebuttal of Michael Shermer's anti-revisionist book.
- Cyrus Cox, Auschwitz Forensically Examined A concise overview.
- Carlos Whitlock Porter, Made in Russia: The Holocaust [Free Online] An amusing compilation of absurdities from the Nuremberg trials.
- Carlo Mattogno, Auschwitz: A Three-Quarter Century of Propaganda
The most important repository of revisionist literature is undoubtedly the Holocaust Handbooks collection which now includes over 50 volumes, many of them authored by the tireless Italian revisionist Carlo Mattogno.
