| | Historical revisionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term historical revisionism has a second meaning, the illegitimate manipulation of history for political purposes, for example Holocaust deniers and Japanese historical revisionists. | | | Some of this historical writing is revisionist in the ideological sense of the word, such as in portrayals of Columbus which compare him to Adolf Hitler, which are arguably polemical and presentist. | | | This second meaning is described further in the article historical revisionism (political). |

| | Historical revisionism (political) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Historical revisionism of some issues (such as the Holocaust), in some countries, is a criminal offense. | | | Use of historical revisionism as illegitimate manipulation of history for political purposes is exemplified by Srebrenica genocide deniers who typically willfully misuse or ignore historical records in order to attempt to prove their conclusions. | | | Historical revisionism also has a more specific meaning when it is used as a label to describe the views of qualified self-taught historians who publish articles that deliberately misrepresent and manipulate historical evidence. |

| | Historical Revisionism and the Legacy of George Orwell |
| | While historical revisionism has always been strictly forbidden in Communist countries, now even some ostensibly democratic governments are trying to legally suppress "unacceptable" historical views. | | | And as a staunch lifelong supporter of free speech and open historical inquiry, he would undoubtedly defend the right of revisionist historians to present their challenging views to the world. | | | Accordingly, Holocaust revisionism is vilified with particular vehemence, almost invariably by individuals who have obviously never made the slightest effort to discover what revisionists have actually written. |

| | Historical Revisionism: Holocaust: Jews and Gypsies and others | | | As to questioning the "mechanics of gassing", and whether or not some gas chambers on display are reproductions of units destroyed by retreating Germans, by all means, this is a legitimate topic of discussion, and I never said otherwise. | | | But to deny that the gassings took place at all, or to deny that human beings are "capable of such things" flies in the face of thousands of eye-witness accounts and a huge weight of historical evidence, and is worthy, probably, of derision as well as refutation. |

| | Challenging the constitutionality of historical censorship in textbooks, Ienaga explained that the exclusion of certain events in texts was a “violation of the freedom of expression and scholarship and contrary to the Fundamental Law of Education,” for it was a “violation of the principle safeguarding education from no improper control.” | | | Further, Korean scholars claim this historical exclusion would indicate a return to the “emperor centered view of history,” in which one denies the existence of another, and the “colonialist view of history.” | | | Finally, political forces have manipulated historical texts and created a “public perception that textbooks are authoritative statements of national policy and ideology.” |

| | Mommsen and his twin brother, Hans, also a well-known historian, were in a rival camp of academics who criticized what they saw as historical revisionism. | | | It was triggered by publications by several historians who challenged what they portrayed as excessive German guilt about the Holocaust, arguing that the death of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis was comparable to mass killings under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. | | | He played a role in a dispute among German academics in the 1980s about the historical context of Nazism and the Holocaust. |

| | As academic historians have incorporated these techniques into more of their work, the theorists of “Holocaust Revisionism” (as they call themselves) or “Holocaust deniers” (as professionals in Holocaust studies refer to them) have co-opted the historian’s tools to spread the erroneous belief that there was no systematic Nazi policy to exterminate the Jews. | | | As her paper shows, those who seek to deny the Holocaust attempt to cover their fascist and antisemitic motivations with a veneer of legitimate historical revisionism. | | | As Raven outlines in his Holocaust Revisionism: Frequently Asked Questions section on his web page, “Without the Holocaust, there is no demonstrated need for a Jewish state. |

| | Revisionists.com -- What is revisionism? |
| | Historically there seems to be something about the Jews that brings forth a plenitude of animosity on the part of people amongst whom they live. | | | In 50 or 100 years, when the Holocaust Myth has met its proper demise, what Revisionists believe today will be standard historical canon from which only cranks and religious zealots will dissent. | | | One of the ways they do this is by purposely mischaracterizing revisionist scholars as "deniers." But the truth can't be suppressed forever: There is a very real and growing controversy about what actually happened to Europe's Jews during World War II. |

| | I'm aware that there has been a lot of debate about my alleged opinions on "historical revisionism," but I don't agree with your assumption that there is interest in my opinions, for several reasons. | | | My views are quite explicitly stated: the Holocaust was the most extreme atrocity in human history, and we lose our humanity if we are even willing to enter the arena of debate with those who seek to deny or underplay Nazi crimes. | | | That fact in itself will suggest to any rational person that the alleged concern about "revisionism" has little to do with denial of genocide, or about my views concerning the Nazis. |

| | Examining Historical Revisionism |
| | When I speak about the "holocaust", I do not mean a historical fact, as the extermination of the Jews in chemical slaughterhouses did not actually take place. | | | But in the mind of the populace, this extermination is as real as the Second World War or the Egyptian pyramids, while real genocides, such as the artificially provoked Ukrainian famine in which several million people were deliberately starved to death by the Communists in 1932/1933, are all but forgotten. | | | The logical consequence of all this is that those countries which are authentically anti-Zionist and real friends of the oppressed Palestinian people should make the breakthrough of holocaust revisionism their foremost priority. |
