The term "denier" is objected to by the people to whom it is applied, who prefer "revisionist". Most contend that the latter term is deliberately misleading. While historical revisionism is the re-examination of accepted history, with an eye towards updating it with newly discovered, more accurate, and less-biased information, "deniers" have been criticised for seeking evidence to support a preconceived theory, omitting substantial facts. Broadly, historical revisionism is the approach that history as it has been traditionally told, < ...

alt.revisionism is a Usenet newsgroup intended for discussion of the controversial topic of Holocaust denial. Although the name of the newsgroup suggests that all forms of historical revisionism can be discussed there, the vast majority of discussion (and flame wars) centers on the Holocaust. The newsgroup is noteworthy for sparking one of the most successful and well-known campaigns of anti-censorship on the Internet. Because the topic of Holocaust denial is so controversial (in fact, it is illegal in several countries) ...

Zyklon B (IPA tsykloːn ˈbeː) was the tradename of a cyanide-based insecticide notorious for its use by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust to kill millions of people. It is also refered to as Cyclon B. It consisted of hydrocyanic acid (prussic acid), a stabilizer, and a warning odorant that were impregnated onto various substrates, typically small absorbant pellets, fiber discs, or diatomaceous earth. It was stored in airtight containers; when exposed to air, the substrates evolved gaseous hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

Critics such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Danish Center for Holocaust and Genocide studies have accused the Institute of anti-Semitism and having links to neo-Nazi organizations, and assert that its primary focus is denying the commonly-understood facts of the Nazi genocide of Jews and others.

Much of the controversy surrounding the claims of deniers centres upon the methods used to present arguments that the Holocaust allegedly never happened. Numerous accounts have been given (including evidence presented in court cases) of claimed "facts" and "evidence"; however, independent research has shown these claims to be based upon flawed research, biased statements, and even deliberately falsified evidence. In fact, Holocaust denial rhetoric is specific compared to other forms of revisionism only insofar as it concentrates itself on a ...

Many publications and statements by Holocaust deniers have been tainted by anti-Semitism. Critics of Holocaust denial have cited many examples where the arguments and proffered evidence have moved from neutral, scholarly presentations to blatant, biased personal attacks. As a brief search of the Internet for such terms will reveal, Holocaust deniers have frequently used terms such as "Zionist Collaborator" or "Jew-lover" to describe their opponents. The continuing, persistent efforts by Holocaust deniers to portray such a human disast ...
