De ontkenning van de jodenuitroeiing : het negationisme en de invloed ervan op extreem-rechts in België

Part I (pp. 19-73) discusses the belief of negationists that the genocide of the Jews never took place. The negationists, members of extreme right parties, and antisemites deny the genocide despite Nazi and other eyewitness testimonies and diaries. The negationists contend that Jews died due to epidemics, typhus, malnutrition, and Allied bombings. They claim that there were no gas chambers, and that Zyklon B was used for disinfection. They acknowledge that there were concentration camps, but not extermination camps. The Nuremberg Trials were a farce, as the judges were Jews and communists; even the concept of genocide was invented by a Jew. Jews were seen as world rulers, thus causing the start of the Second World War. Pt II (pp. 75-156) contains excerpts from right-wing journals in Belgium expressing Holocaust denial. Refers frequently to Maurice Bardèche, who is seen as the founder of the extreme-right party. In 1995, denial of the Holocaust became punishable by law.
