Holocaust Denial In Literature The first denier to take his views, and put them in literature is Arthur Butz, who wrote the fairly good selling book "Hoax of the 20th century", and since then there have been many more writings chronicling "why the holocaust never happened", even an entire publisher that has become closely related with denier literature, Samisdat Publisher.

Some literature Originations that once had a say in historical debates have lost all credibility like the "Institute for Historical Review", by supporting, even slightly, revisionist viewpoints on the holocaust. Today though the biggest reason people become revisionists is the internet, which helps other revisionists spread their ideas easier, and more efficiently.
