This book provides a detailed analysis of one of the most prominent
and widespread international phenomena to which criminal justice
systems has been applied: the expression of revisionist views
relating to mass atrocities and the outright denial of their
existence. Denial poses challenges to more than one academic
discipline: to historians, the gradual disappearance of the
generation of eyewitnesses raises the question of how to keep alive
the memory of the events, and the fact that negationism is often
offered in the guise of historical 'revisionist scholarship' also
means that there is need for the identification of parameters which
can be applied to the office of the 'genuine' historian. Legal
academics and practitioners as well as political scientists are
faced with the difficulty of evaluating methods to deal with denial
and must in this regard identify the limits of freedom of speech,
but also the need to preserve the rights of victims. Beyond that,
the question arises whether the law can ever be an effective option
for dealing with revisionist statements and the revisionist
movement. In this regard, Holocaust and Genocide Denial: A
Contextual Perspective breaks new ground: exploring the background
of revisionism, the specific methods devised by individual States
to counter this phenomenon, and the rationale for their strategies.
Bringing together authors whose expertise relates to the history of
the Holocaust, genocide studies, international criminal law and
social anthropology, the book offers insights into the history of
revisionism and its varying contexts, but also provides a
thought-provoking engagement with the challenging questions
attached to its treatment in law and politics.
