I would like to investigate Holocaust denials for my major project. Are there any helpful sites available for me to conduct my research?
Thanks : D

Re: Extension history

Buy and read David Irving's books, he is probably the most famous denier and can provide some source work to your essay. The Richard Evans book about Irving is also good.

Re: Extension history

Just a pointer, Holocaust Denial has been done many times, so I would suggest trying for something a bit unique.

However, if you feel you want to do this, it is up to you, as long as you write it well.

The problem with "unique" is the possibility that there are no sources or no reliable sources to use. Attempting to find good sources for a good historiographical question is a headache because since it hasn't been done before (or it is unique), not many scholars have touched that area of historiography, or have only touched it lightly. You want as many scholars and authoritative sources as possible, but if no one has covered it, it will be hard for you to answer your question (unless it's terribly generic).

Yes I agree. But there are many topics that could be done that have many sources that people rarely look at. At the end of the day, it is up to the OP anyway.

Re: Extension history

...umm try looking on amazon.com for some good books. Read the reviews and if they are favorable try looking for them at your local library. Websites can be really unreliable and most are only good for finding your feet on the topic so to say.
