Definition of Science
In a decision concerning the attempt of the German Federal Assessment

“Rücksicht auf die Verbündeten,” Berliner Zeitung, 4 Sept. 2000: “You once said there is no
quality control in the Holocaust debate. [Hilberg:] That’s correct, especially at numerous U.S.
elite universities.” (www.vho.org/D/Beitraege/HilbergBZ040900.html).
