Page "Institute for Historical Review" Paragraph 12

The question whether the IHR denies the Holocaust appears to turn on IHR's Humpty-Dumpty word game with the word Holocaust.

According to Mark Weber, associate editor of the IHR's Journal of Historical Review Director of the IHR, " If by the ' Holocaust ' you mean the political persecution of Jews, some scattered killings, if you mean a cruel thing that happened, no one denies that.

But if one says that the ' Holocaust ' means the systematic extermination of six to eight million Jews in concentration camps, that's what we think there's not evidence for.

" That is, IHR doesn't deny that the Holocaust happened ; they just deny that the word ' Holocaust ' means what people customarily use it for.
