Holocaust Denial in the United States of America
Bašíková, Jaroslava ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
The Holocaust denial is one of the manifestations of anti-Semitism in modern times, which emerged after the World War II in Western Europe. It soon expanded into the United States, where it due to the several factors it consequently gained momentum. In the seventies and eighties it reached its peak and the Institute for Historical Review, the most important organization of deniers, was founded. Holocaust deniers call themselves revisionists, followers of the tradition of the legitimate historical trend that emerged after the World War I. They declare their goal as the revision history, the search for historical truth and fight for freedom of speech. They utilize a means of pseudo and public biased academic work in order to discredit the Holocaust as a recognized historical fact. This bachelor thesis Holocaust denial in the United States aims to describe the historical development of the phenomenon of Holocaust denial and its basic characteristics in the USA. Another objective is to answer the question why Holocaust denial is so widespread in the United States and whether it is a serious social problem.
