"The Sariche's use of Arthur Butz, a Northwestern University
professor of Electrical Engineering who wrote 'The Hoax of the
Twentieth Century,' as a reference on the Holocaust prompted Peter
Hayes, an Associate Professor of Modern GErman History at
Northwestern, to issue a response to their campaign. Of Butz's
work, Hayes wrote, 'It presents the history of the Holocaust as
Heinrich Himmler ... wanted people to believe it occurred. Butz
accepts the camouflaging vocabulary of Nazi sources at face value,
rejects all other written and eyewitness records ... and thus
concocts an account that virtually all professional historians have
rejected.'" (ADL, 27)
