The Bankrupt state of Holocaust Denial and Debunking!
Holocaust Denial & Debunking
A review of the bankrupt state of Revisionism, and the
insensibility of arguing with Holocaust deniers.

In May 2009 I concluded in my H.E.A.R.T editorial stating there is little value to be found in Holocaust Denial, and even less value in debating or debunking denial. That was a little over two years ago, so where are we now?
Casually glancing through any number of revisionist websites and forums, one can find an abundance of neo-David Irving acolytes and pseudo scholars, who dedicate their time to refuting the Holocaust narrative. This isn’t a new phenomenon; it’s been going on for well over three decades, however what we are seeing more recently are the smattering of these new denial-debunker forums, that on the surface appear designed to dispute revisionist ideas and philosophy, yet in practice emulate a pugilistic event more akin to naked mud-wrestling than to any scholarly debate.
Even more disturbing is the striking similarity between actual denial sites and these new debunking forums and blogs. After painting Holocaust deniers as modern day Nazi’s, the debunkers offer little in their behaviour that lends any contrast or credibility to their own moral standing versus that of the deniers, and it is often quite difficult to tell the difference, between the two.
At least one of these controversial debunker blogs maintains extremely low, if any professional standards at all, and in most cases the discussions are quite juvenile and often quite hostile in nature.
When you visit these sites you will notice the arguments are repetitive; those who deny the Holocaust are still demanding irrefutable proof, where even the slightest error, fragment of detail, date, time, location, spelling etc. is incorrect, is then pounced upon as the evidentiary “Holy Grail” that the Holocaust is a hoax perpetrated by a global Jewish conspiracy.

On the flip side you have the radical and often controversial revisionist debunkers who are obsessed with engaging in pointless debates, with no other purpose than to prove their own intellectual superiority, or at least what they deem to be a greater intellect than that of their opponent. Some of these debunker groups have gone to great lengths to trash the works and reputation of not only revisionists, but Holocaust memorial scholars as well.
Clearly it’s not the desire for a correct historical record that motivates the debunkers, any more than it is for their denier counterparts. Both groups have a belief structure or agenda that supersedes the factual narrative, for them it’s something far more duplicitous and corrupt, than simply setting the record straight.
Case in point; as early on as 2004 when I lead the Action Reinhard Camps Foundation, an applicant for membership, who unbeknownst to me at the time was a member of one of these perfidious debunker groups, and at the time was pressing ARC memberships to include a forum on the www.deathcamps.org website. This forum he explained would be constructed to debate with Holocaust deniers.

After careful consideration this proposal was rejected, as pointless.
The Holocaust happened and there is nothing to debate or dispute.
ARC members felt that the best answer to combat Holocaust Denial was to memorialize the victims and teach people about the perpetrators and the events that lead to the mass murder of millions.
I later went on to create the Holocaust Education and Archive Research Team with a broader focus that the events of Action Reinhard, but do I still feel the same way?

Re: The Holocaust & War in America
To Whom,
Growing up we heard a lot about the Holocaust. My mother couldn't let it go. Age 12 when it began she heard the bombings and saw people taken away. She wasn't Jewish but the little boy next door -who would later be her brother in-law - and his grandmother were. In her eighties she disappeared one night.
Not once but many times my mother wept for what she saw and later knew of the war. She was a very compassionate lady.
My father took a different approach. He remained mostly silent. It was only on his death bed that I found where he was born - Zatory, Poland - and the names of his parents.
He joined the army at fifteen, before the war began and so saw an entirely different side of it. From the war he brought back with him the graphic books of the concentration camps. He'd lost one of his sisters and both his parents in that war. How I don't know - he never said.
In this country they have lost their lives. In the end feable, still fighters, as a family we fought against a system of racketeers. They're not uncommon. An alotment of organized criminals grouped against the trusting / the educated / the innocent for everything you have. My family and I were one household, one mindset. These groups are not unlike what happened in Europe. But it's one unknowing / unsuspecting family at a time.
My fight now is how to fight back. Have you or anyone you know been involved in such unsuspecting circumstance where and found council legal council who can win such legal issues. One with the similar compassion and history as your own.
Contact me if you can.
Sincerely,
R.Salwin
