"Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory" by Deborah E. Lipstadt. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 1994.

Book description: The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. Forty years ago, such notions were the province of pseudohistorians who argued that Hitler never meant to kill the Jews, and that only a few hundred thousand died in the camps from disease... In the first full-scale history of Holocaust denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how - despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence - this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement.

It is unbelievable to me that we even have to experience this kind of denial. I highly recommend this excellent book.
