Deborah E. Lipstadt (18 de diciembre de 2012). Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. Simon and Schuster. ISBN978-1-4767-2748-6. «Modern Holocaust denial draws inspiration from a variety of sources. Among them are a legitimate historical tradition that was highly critical of government policies and believed that history was being used to justify these policies. The deniers consider themselves heirs of a group of influential American historians who were deeply disturbed by American involvement in World War I. These respected scholars, who called themselves revisionists, would have been appalled to learn of the purposes to which their arguments were put.»
