David Irving is a Holocaust denier residing in the UK who recently lost
a lawsuit to Deborah Lipstadt. We now have an index organizing
material about David Irving.

CODOH (the so-called committee for open discussion of the Holocaust
story) is one of the major disseminators of denial in the US. We now have
a webpage devoted to
addressing the challenge that they pose.

We have a letter from Joel
Hayward regarding his change of views with respect to his Master's thesis.

Our [email-masked] email service offers answers to all
serious questions on the subject of the Holocaust, its history, or its
denial. Please see our instructions, and
answers to previous questions.

We have a page on the team who puts this site
together.

Our search
engine indexes the entire site.

We offer a pamphlet for
those seeking a printed concise introduction to Holocaust-denier David
Irving and his lies, entitled Who is David Irving?

(Over a year ago, David Irving called this pamphlet "lies" and
"fiction." Although he constructed a special webpage to reprint it, and
has corresponded with us several times, he has been unable to name even
one error. In July 1998,
he said he would respond - and after a long silence, in January 1999
decided not.)
