Controversy: Holocaust denial

As part of an ongoing campaign of Holocaust denial, Robert Faurisson claimed in 1979 that "the Nazis did not have gas chambers and did not attempt a genocide of Jews. He contended that the 'myth' of the gas chambers had been promoted by Zionists...for the benefit of the state of Israel and to the detriment of Germans and Palestinians."

These contentions have led some to conclude that the Holocaust was fabricated. For instance, revisionist Ernst Zündel issued pamphlets such as Did Six Million Really Die?.

However this is generally considered to be an example of revisionist history that is contradicted by the ongoing research of those, such as the Nizkor Project, Deborah Lipstadt, John Keegan, Raul Hilberg (who published The Destruction of the European Jews), Lucy Davidowicz (who published The War Against the Jews), Norman Davies, Primo Levi, Simon Wiesenthal, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and more at Holocaust resources, all of which track and explain Holocaust denial.
