In this informative, stimulating lecture, the author of The Hoax of the Twentieth Century brings the method and outlook of his pathbreaking study to bear on the latest issues in Holocaust revisionism. After discussing the accessibility of Holocaust-era material recently available from the Berlin Document Center, Professor Butz discusses -- with illuminating insight and mordant incision – the attempts of such exterminationist pundits as self-advertised skeptic Michael Shermer and faux-architect Robert Jan Van Pelt to belittle his own pioneering work on the few Auschwitz documents then available. Butz finishes with a devastating review of the Binjamin Wilkomirski fraud, stressing how Deborah Lipstadt and other pillars of "Holocaust studies" continued to promote this phony "memoir" well after its exposure as a hoax. From the 13th IHR Conference, 2000.
