The existence of gas chambers was questioned and the testimony of survivors was thrown into doubt; the more witnesses spoke out, the more they were intimidated and attacked by a denialism that sought to present itself as a search for historical truth. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe accusation of trickery and deception – so central to the centuries-old anti-Jewish hatred – continues to thrive in the present. Today, denialism takes a new and more insidious form: Jews are accused of exploiting the ‘cult of the Holocaust’ to justify the state of Israel and to take the reins of political power. Holocaust denial has merged with conspiracy theories, alleging the existence of a Jewish-controlled New World Order. Concisely and authoritatively, acclaimed philosopher Donatella Di Cesare reconstructs the evolution of denialism and sheds new light on one of the most troubling phenomena of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New Denialism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf Auschwitz Is Nothing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.   Annihilation and Denialism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.   The Desecrators of Ashes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.   In Hitler’s Shadow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.   “Night and Fog”.
