A web search will produce numerous references to David Irving, darling of
the "revisionists."

One locale is The Nizkor Project, "Dedicated to the nearly twelve million
victims ruthlessly destroyed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime," where an
archive pertaining to Irving can be found at:

The Nizkor Project's mission is detailed at

Skeptic magazine also has something to say about Irving at

To see how David Irving is embraced by "revisionists," you can check out the
new David Irving page at the site for CODOH, the so-called Committee for
Open Debate on the Holocaust (http://www.valleynet.com/~brsmith/), which
states "While we no longer believe the gas chamber stories (we used to very
much believe them) or the 'genocide' theory, we remain open to being
convinced we are wrong."
