Holocaust denial is a particularly malevolent form of racist incitement - the most up-to-date
rationalization for hating Jews thinly disguised under the mask of revising history. Not for
nothing have the deniers been called assassins of memory fanatics engaged in a new kind of
symbolic genocide against the Jewish people. Where the mobs once cried death to the Jews the
deniers now cynically proclaim that the Jews never died and this truth will make you free. This
interdisciplinary volume of essays analyzes the phenomenon of Holocaust denial and sheds light
among others on the Jedwabne Debate the trials of Ernst Zündel and the Garaudy Affair.
