Overview
Dilemmas of Denial relates how courts in four countries (Canada, France, Germany, and the United States) resolved the issues posed by Holocaust-denial litigation. It also explores the controversy that arose in the United States when some student editors decided to run ads denying the Holocaust in college newspapers. The book concludes that a given country's resolution of these dilemmas turns on its specific legal traditions and historical experiences.
Editorials
From the Publisher
"[An] incisive read into one of the thorniest problems of expression and interpretation of history. It is extensively researched and carefully written."--Rohee Dasgupta, In-Spire Journal of Law, Politics and Societies "Holocaust Denial and the Law is a very fine and impressive piece of work that deserves a wide audience. The book is very well-written, meticulously researched, and well-organized: it reads like a book, something one can rarely say these days about academic publications. Kahn makes a substantial contribution to the field of Holocaust denial studies with this elegant text about comparative criminal procedure." -- Lawrence Douglas, Author of The Memory of Judgment: Making Law and History in the Trials of the Holocaust
"Robert Kahn has written an important book on an important subject." --Anthony Julius, counsel for Deborah Lipstadt in the libel suit brought against her by David Irving
