The crematoria he larin Tial‘l t13`2 to all our friends and relatives BERNIE WINER PHOTOGRAPHY insists, were used only to burn the bodies of those who had already died from dis- ease, natural causes or starvation. This newfangled trend to deny the occurrence of the Holocaust is by no means restricted to North America. There are now more than 40 publications which purport these beliefs worldwide. At the Sorbonne Univer- sity in Paris, Prof. Fauris- son, who had been cultivat- ing these doctrines in his lectures, was charged under French law.

Faurisson has since been dismissed from his teaching post at the uni- versity. A number of Jewish organizations around the world have suggested the reclassification of these books either under fiction or anti-Semitism. The fact that there is a book selec- tion department in any li- brary suggests that there is a criteria of scholarly rele- vance which accepts or re- jects books on any given subject. The Library of Congress system used by most lib- raries in the English- speaking world offers only suggested areas of classification and hence it is up to the chief librarian at each library who has the final decision as to which shelf a book is to be placed. To profess that the Jewish presence in Europe was not decimated by the Nazi re- gime and that the entire in- cident was nothing more than a hoax perpetrated by the World Zionist Orgnaiza- tion, is as absurd as the claim that the black people in pre-Civil war America were not enslaved and that their story was a plot con- ceived by the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People. How would the French people react if a book was written which refuted the fact that their country was occupied by the Germans? What if the Japanese were told to be- lieve that the bombing of Hiroshima was but a mere figment of their im- agination? At this point in time, the claims of these "revisionist historians" can clearly be ascertained as being merely a literary offal designed to produce an ugly twisting of the events of history and in the process provoke anti- Jewish sentiments. Never- theless, how many anti- Semites after reading these publications will pick up where Butz and Rassinier left off? When the Holocaust shelf becomes saturated with an ample number of works in this new literary-historical genre, the actuality of the Nazi's monstrous deeds will indeed become a hotly- contested issue. A further aspect of this issue is morality. Should it be the function of government-supported lib- raries to purchase material W.C.

The re-opening of school, which had originally been delayed from Sept. 8 to Sept. 10, was switched to Monday as the teachers used Friday as a preparation day. from organizations which publish literature for the sole purpose of inciting ra- cial hatred? Must public lib- raries contribute to the fi- nancial survival of such in- famous and notorious groups as the Liberty Lobby and the Historical Review Press? Are these works with their mendacious theses written behind "facades of scholarship" essential to the legitimate study of the Nazi's piecemeal destruc- tion of the European Jewish community?
