Most people have misconceptions about what Holocaust revisionists (frequently pejoratively labeled as “Holocaust deniers” or “negationists”) claim and what they do not claim. This is caused by disinformation spread by the mass media, some of it due to journalists innocently yet irresponsibly copying from others, some of it spread with malicious intend. The brief list below is meant to give you a brief overview as to what we revisionists say and what we do not say. Well, that is my take on it anyway. Not all revisionist scholars might agree with all the points listed, but in general the broad consensus among us does probably look like this:
