hiver - Historical Revisionism by Vrij Historisch Onderzoek

——————————————————————> Conseils de révisions / hiver winter 2007
spoke at a conference organized by the Institute for Historical Review and the neo-Nazi National
Alliance.
Georges Thiel (France) An apologist for Hitler, Georges Thiel claimed in a 2002 pamphlet that the
Nazis never had a genocidal agenda against Jews, and that any repression of Jews under Nazi rule was
merely a reaction to "the Jewish takeover of the Germany economy after the first World War" and a
Jewish "declaration of war" against Germany.
Serge Thion (France) A French sociologist and associate of Robert Faurisson, Serge Thion has
described the Holocaust as a "religion" that was "pushed by Zionists to attract capital, as well as
political and military protection."
Fredrick Toben (Australia) Originally from Germany, Fredrick Toben now lives in Australia where
he promotes Holocaust denial and hatred of Jews through his "Adelaide Institute." Toben claims that
the Holocaust is a lie devised by Jews but perpetuated by Western nations intent on subjugating
Germany and "eliminating Germans as an ethnic group".

IRAN HOSTS ANTI-SEMITIC HATEFEST IN TEHRAN
In Tehran, Holocaust Denial Comes of Age
With the conference in Tehran, Holocaust denial has come of age. No longer does it appeal
only to neo-Nazis, who have traditionally denied the Holocaust in order to whitewash Hitler and
rehabilitate fascism. It is now the overarching anti-Semitic conspiracy theory of the new century, a
common language linking diverse groups of anti-Semites. Until recently, Jew-haters of different
stripes each had their own anti-Semitic ideas. Islamic fundamentalists believed that Jews betrayed
the Prophet, while neo-Nazis claimed that Jews were intent on race-mixing and corrupting the Aryan
genome. Traditionalist Catholics insisted that Jews were responsible for killing Christ, and crazed
conspiracy theorists argued that Jews were behind everything from the French Revolution to the
assassination of John F. Kennedy to the decline of the dollar. Differing vocabularies and interests,
and the lack of a shared social network made it difficult for these groups of anti-Semites to work
together. The growth of the Internet in the 1990s made it suddenly possible for diverse anti-Semites
to interact, and Holocaust denial became the universal anti-Jewish idea to which they came to
subscribe. This is most dramatically demonstrated in the Iranian-sponsored conference devoted to
Holocaust denial, which drew anti-Semites of various stripes from all over the world. These disparate
groups of Jew-haters are able to agree on Holocaust denial because at its core, Holocaust denial is an
anti-Jewish conspiracy theory that contains in itself all of the worst anti-Semitic stereotypes that have
afflicted the world.
Any theory of Holocaust denial is based on characterizations of Jews as greedy liars who
devised a monstrous tale of their own destruction in order to obtain monetary or political benefits. To a
Holocaust denier, Jews have proven themselves to be the ultimate forgers of documents,
manipulators of the media, and controllers of governments. Caring only about themselves, they are
alleged to have swindled the entire world, demonized the entire German nation, stolen a land and
displaced its native inhabitants.
Holocaust denial truly is the latest version of the World Jewish Conspiracy, a modern-day
retelling of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Iran Hosts Anti-Semitic Hatefest in Tehran Background: Holocaust Denial in Iran
The 2006 Holocaust denial conference in Tehran is not the first time that Western Holocaust
deniers have been brought to Iran to promulgate their hatred. Since his election in August 2005,
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made no secret of his desire to wipe Israel from the
map. Not coincidentally, he has also repeatedly denied the Holocaust. In a despicable sequel to the
