Holocaust-denial is a body of work that seeks to prove that the Jewish Holocaust did not happen. Although not all of the deniers, who prefer to call themselves "revisionists" in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, make the same claims, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate European Jewry. Those who deny the Holocaust believe that the Jews themselves, usually referred to as "Zionists," fabricated the "Big Lie" in order to gain sympathy for a homeland and to extort money, in the form of reparations payments, from Germany.

The Nazis themselves can be thought of as the first Holocaust revisionists, for they tried to conceal their extermination program behind euphemisms such as "special treatment" and "final solution to the Jewish problem." Present-day revisionists all share deep seated anti-Semitic feelings, a hatred of Israel, and a need to rehabilitate and glorify Germany, fascism, and the Third Reich.

This bibliography includes both works about Holocaust revisionism and works of Holocaust revisionism. Although those who deny the Holocaust write in many languages and in many countries, the scope of this project has been limited to works in English, except in the case of Robert Faurisson, because of his notoriety, and a French journal. While this bibliography has been divided into many subject areas, it is acknowledged that many of the entries cross several categories, especially the works in the "general overview" section.

This bibliography grew out of the authors' Master of Library Science research project at the Queens College Graduate School of Library and Information Studies, a study of Holocaust- denial literature in public libraries, under the direction of Dr. Marianne Cooper.
