Publisher's Synopsis
Never in the history of mankind has there been a circumstance such as the one we are going to study in this chapter: a historical fact has become a dogma of faith and cannot be questioned by historians, scientists or researchers in any branch of knowledge. Two Jewish historians, Pierre Vidal-Naquet and Léon Poliakov, signed the declaration of faith that has become universally accepted. In it, they declared: There is no need to ask how such a mass death was technically possible. It was possible because it happened. This is the starting point for all historical research on the subject. It is this truth that simply needs to be reiterated. The existence of the gas chambers cannot be debated. Today, to call into question all the paraphernalia surrounding the myth of the Holocaust is a crime of lèse pensée and has become a criminal offence in the penal codes of many countries. Revisionists have been prosecuted and sentenced to years in prison for racial hatred or anti-Semitism. They are shunned by the media and their work deserves no attention, as it is considered irrelevant and should not be broadcast.
Of course, if the arguments and theses of revisionism were pamphlets devoid of the slightest rigour, one could accept the general disinterest in their approaches; but this is not the case, quite the contrary. The works presented cover the various aspects of the alleged extermination of six million Jews and are extremely convincing. Any reader interested in uncovering the historical truth will find in the works of the revisionists everything that can be demanded of a rigorous researcher. In spite of this, the number of supposedly democratic Western countries enacting laws undermining freedom of thought and expression in relation to the Holocaust increases year by year. These countries are currently Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Switzerland.
