I am starting this thread to gather up any information regarding holocaust-denial, evidence that proves the existence of the holocaust and counter-arguments on holocaust revisionists.

I know of only a single book on this issue:

Denying History:Who says the Holocaust Never Happened and why do they say it?
By Michael Shermer & Alex Grobman

Are there any other sources that you know of and that you would like to share?

Thanks in advance.

You could also read Shermer's book "Why People Believe Weird Things". They have a chapter that discusses Holocaust denial. (I assume it will have similar information to the "Denying History" book you referred to earlier, but since the Holocaust stuff is contained in a single chapter it might be an easier read.)

Any of several books on the Irving vs Lipstadt libel suit would help.

* Lying about Hitler (http://www.amazon.com/Lying-About-Hitler-History-Holocaust/dp/0465021530/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256057185&sr=1-5), by Evans
* History on Trial (http://www.amazon.com/History-Trial-Court-Holocaust-Denier/dp/0060593776/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_c), by Lipstadt
*The case for Auschwitz (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Auschwitz-Evidence-Irving-Trial/dp/0253340160/ref=sip_rech_dp_10), by Jan van Pelt

I read the first two, and they are good. The Evans book is more about the historical facts while Lipstadt's is more about the story of the trial. I hope to get my hands on the last one, if I get the chance.

Or, you can read the judgment (http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/i/irving-david/judgment-00-00.html), for free.

You might want to try the "The Nizkor Project".
