Lipstadt’s Denying the Holocaust examines the spread of Holocaust denial as an assault on truth and historical memory. Drawing on findings from major U.S. surveys, the work highlights public ignorance about core facts of the Holocaust and discusses why poll results became a warning sign. With references to the author’s earlier research on denial practices, the preface frames education and exposure of denial methodology as essential to prevent future influence, especially in academic settings.","DENYING THE HOLOCAUST  \nThe Growing Assault on Truth and Memory  \nWith a new Preface by the Author  \nDeborah E.

Neither the Roper Organization nor the American Jewish Committee, which sponsored the poll, expected any startling results. But they were surprised by the response to one of the questions. When asked \"Do you think it possible or impossible that the Holocaust did not happen?\" 22 percent of American adults and 20 percent of American high school students answered, yes, it was possible. * The response shocked many people who had long dismissed Holocaust denial as a wacky phenomenon of no more validity than the claim that the earth is regularly visited by alien beings. The poll's results, coupled with the deniers' recent forays onto college campuses in order to publish ads in campus newspapers denying the Holocaust, convinced many people that Holocaust denial constituted a clear and present danger. When Denying the Holocaust appeared but a few weeks after the Roper poll, many of these former skeptics hailed me for having realized long before virtually anyone else that this was a serious threat.  \nSome reviews of the book made particular note of the fact that when I began investigating the Holocaust denial phenomenon in 1987 [xii] I had been subjected by colleagues and friends to some friendly and--not so friendly--skepticism for \"taking these kooks seriously. \" Among the most contrite we re those who had been most vigorous in their assaults on me for believing the deniers worthy of serious scholarship. In a public mea maxima culpa, one reviewer identified himself as one who had take n me to task for wasting my time on this topic. Admitting his mistake, he declared the book a work of \"stunning relevance. \"  \nIronically, I counseled and continue to counsel a more cautious, certainly not benign, reaction to the Roper statistic. It is true that when a similar question was asked in Britain and France, doubters numbered less than 7 percent. But the 22 percent response must be considered ","cbCait4ehwzK0DxD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait4ehwzK0DxD","pdf",2353425,2,1,233,"English","en",105,"# Preface to the Paperback Edition\n# Preface\n# Chapter One Canaries in the Mine\n# Chapter Two The Antecedents\n# Chapter Three In the Shadow of World War II\n# Chapter Four The First Stirrings of Denial in America\n# Chapter Five Austin J.
