Holocaust Denial & The Big Lie

The attempt to justify an evil deed has perhaps more pernicious consequences than the evil deed itself. The justification of a past crime is the planting and cultivation of future crimes. Indeed, the repetition of a crime is sometimes part of a device of justification; we do it again and again to convince ourselves and others that it is a common thing and not an enormity. 

(Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1954.)

“The scope of this report includes a physical inspection and quantitative data obtained at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek…” (from the Leuchter Report)

“The group spent three days in Auschwitz/Birkenau and one in Majdanek surreptitiously and illegally collecting bricks and cement fragments – Leuchter called them ‘forensic samples’ – from a number of buildings, including those associated with the killing process.” (Lipstadt, Deborah. Denying the Holocaust. New York and Toronto: MacMillan, 1993. pp 162-3)
