ix, 278 p. Footnotes. Notes. Index. In this text, a social and intellectual history of Holocaust denial, Lipstadt shows how, despite thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence, this idea has become an international movement, with organized chapters, "independent" research centers and official publications that promote a "revisionist" view of recent history. Deborah Esther Lipstadt (born March 18, 1947) is an American historian and diplomat, best known as author of the books Denying the Holocaust (1993), History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier (2005), The Eichmann Trial (2011), and Antisemitism: Here and Now (2019). Since 1993 she has been the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. Lipstadt was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2023. Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory discusses the Holocaust denial movement. Lipstadt named British writer David Irving as a Holocaust denier, leading him to sue her unsuccessfully for libel. She gives a detailed explanation of how people came to deny the Holocaust or claim that it was vastly exaggerated by the Jews. Lipstadt sees Holocaust denial as "purely anti-Semitic diatribe" and a form of pseudo-history; she outlines the history of Holocaust denial, claims that it is increasing and should not be disregarded. Holocaust deniers were originally a "lunatic fringe" and could be seen as harmless cranks but are now more numerous and influential than before as some radical racist groups have adopted it, and that the trend could increase as Holocaust witnesses die of age. Lipstadt claims that after World War II in France Maurice Bardèche and Paul Rassinier denied outright that the Holocaust ever happened, as did various Nazi sympathizers in America. According to Lipstadt, Austin App, a professor of English at La Salle College and the University of Scranton, first put out several notions that later Holocaust deniers followed. App and others denied that the Nazis had any genocidal intent, that gas chambers existed, and that innocent Jews were killed by the millions, and they claimed that defeated Germany was compelled to admit false crimes by the Allies. Lipstadt gives many examples of allegations that six million Jews were not systematically exterminated, but, rather, 300, 000 to 1.5 million Jews died of disease and other causes. Lipstadt shows that (at the time of writing) tens of thousands of witnesses of the Holocaust were still alive and there is conclusive documentary evidence. Lipstadt claims that distorting history in this way risks undermining the western tradition of objective scholarship and make distorting history for political purposes appear legitimate. She accuses groups like the Institute for Historical Review and people like David Duke of spreading lies about the Holocaust. Lipstadt claims this is now an international movement where Holocaust deniers call themselves 'research centers' and produce what they say are independent publications to make themselves look more scientific than they are. In Lipstadt's opinion current value relativism helps Holocaust denial to thrive.

For years, those who claimed that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps was nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy, were treated as harmless cranks. But over the past decade, they have begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas. In this text, a social and intellectual history of Holocaust denial, Lipstadt shows how, despite thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence, this idea has become an international movement, with organized chapters, "independent" research centers and official publications that promote a "revisionist" view of recent history.

She served as the United States Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism from 2022 to 2025. Since 1993 she has been the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. Lipstadt was a consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

From these beginnings, she details how these charges were picked up and became "a tool of the radical right".
