Les yeux du témoin et le regard du borgne : l'histoire face au révisionnisme

Analyzes the text of the diary written by SS officer Johann Paul Kremer, a Nazi physician who served in Auschwitz between August-November 1942, and its use by Robert Faurisson for revisionist purposes. The diary entries for this period describe the horrors of the extermination of the Jews in Auschwitz. Its use by Faurisson for revisionist goals was possible due to the laconic style of writing which facilitated distorted interpretations. A translation of Kremer's diary entries (pp. 193-203) and other documents related to the extermination of Western European Jews are appended. Includes bibliographical references. 213 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 22 cm.
