Abstract
The writer explains that Holocaust deniers feel that the material taught in schools and colleges is propaganda written by Jews to gain sympathy, collect money for the State of Israel and to perpetrate hatred of the Nazi movement. It explains that the Holocaust deniers feel that their opinions should be taught in schools and colleges as part of the curriculum. The writer contends that the Holocaust curriculum taught is accurate and need not include claims made by historical deniers. The paper brings the three main arguments made by Holocaust deniers. The writer states objections to each argument and raises doubts about them. In conclusion, the writer states that Holocaust deniers have no logical arguments when confronted with information that is contrary to their beliefs and that the historical convergence of evidence proving the Holocaust did happen overpowers the illogical thinking of the deniers.

From the Paper
"Holocaust deniers do not deny that there are gas chambers and that some were even used to murder concentration camp victims. We simply state that they were not used for the mass murder of Jews during the Final Solution. They were there for the delousing of linens and clothing. There is not one shred of written proof that the Jews were ordered to die by gas chambers. As for the crematorium, we also do not argue that conditions in concentration camps were harsh, causing the death of many. Crematoriums were the most efficient way to dispose of the bodies who died naturally at the concentration camps."

Abstract
This paper mainly discusses the idea of Holocaust denial and the people who follow this practice and how they support their ideas with the views of Deborah Lipstadt and her rebuttal.

From the paper:

"?Modern Holocaust denial draws inspiration from a variety of sources? (Lipstadt 31). The Holocaust Deniers, or more appropriately called ?revisionist? historians, and historians of the traditional school seem to differ greatly in their methodologies as shown when they use the same piece of evidence in two separate manners to come to two completely different conclusions."

Abstract
The following paper will look at the Nanjing Massacre of 1937-38 and outline why it is that this incident continues to stay in the public spotlight even 70 years after the crime was committed. Specifically, the next several pages will assert that the major reason why Nanking is such a controversial and divisive issue in Sino-Japanese relations is because Japan obstinately refuses to acknowledge its war guilt and, instead, has allowed a flourishing industry to spring up wherein deniers are given a strong voice, are supported by the government, and have been able to secure the apparent goodwill of a sizable proportion of the public. As time allows, this essay will briefly describe Nanking, outline why it was a particularly cruel and horrific occupation, discuss the reluctance of the Japanese government to concede anything, highlight why China - as a burgeoning superpower - feels that it is owed far more than it has been given thus far, and conclude by citing the role of political elites and academic elites in allowing the controversy to drag on. In the final analysis, until Japan summons up the courage to silence those who wish to minimize Nanking (or deny its existence altogether) the controversy will not go away but will, instead, continue to grow steadily more acrimonious.

Abstract
The paper relates that the word anti-Semitism was invented in the late 19th century as a more acceptable word than Jew-hatred. The paper discusses how the disease of anti-Semitism is irrational and seeking its origins is futile. The paper explains the difference between mild anti-Semitism and diabolical anti-Semitism and shows the history of anti-Semitism as manifested in Canadian life. The paper discusses how the days of anti-Semitism are not over for Canada; now we have Holocaust deniers, Neo-Nazis on the Internet and a steady increase in harassment of Jews.

From the Paper
"The word anti-Semitism was invented in the late 19th century as a more acceptable word than Jew-hatred. It was meant to sound scientific, but actually there is no such thing as "Semitism." The word Semitic refers to a language group of which Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke), Hebrew, and Arabic are members. A Jewish historian defined anti-Semitism as "dislike of the unlike." Ages (1981) points out that there are nuances in the meaning of the word. It is possible, for example, to dislike Jews but be opposed to slaughtering them in concentration camps. In its most innocent form anti-Semitism is like the widespread prejudice found throughout the whole human race. It could be hostility after working for an unsympathetic Jew or a vague negativism from being taught to dislike them as a child."

Abstract
This paper strongly confronts the recent theories of Holocaust denial by discussing the anti-Semitic history of Europe and giving the statistics proving the number of Jews erased following World War II in Europe. First, the paper examines the philosophical influences of Adolph Hitler. Then, the actual suffering of the Jews during the Holocaust is detailed, from the death camps to those who were used for human experiments. Other sources of proof regarding the Holocaust are analyzed, such as "Anne Frank's Diary," photographs and famous speeches made by Nazi officials. The author concludes that there is considerable evidence indicating the truth behind the Holocaust and that claims made by deniers are based on their own anti-Semitism and have no historical or factual evidence corroborating them.

From the Paper
"Those who lived were used as subjects for human experiments. The most notorious of these physicians was Dr. Josef Mengele, who worked in Auschwitz. His experiments included placing subjects in pressure chambers, testing drugs on them, freezing them, attempting to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes and various amputations and other brutal surgeries (The Holocaust Chronicles: A History in Words and Pictures). One of Mengele's infamous experiments included working with twins. He sewed a pair of four year old twins together, back to front like Siamese twins and left them like that. Their wounds were infected and oozing pus. They screamed day and night till their parents finally managed to get their hands on some morphine and killed their own children in order to put them out of their misery (The world must know: The history of the Holocaust as told in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Death was a fate far better than what those who lived at Auschwitz endured."

Abstract
This paper examines the role of Hadith, traditions about Muhammad, in Islam. It clarifies the reasons for the importance of such traditions to Sunni Muslims and looks at one of the most lively and potentially liberating trends in contemporary Islam, the complete rejection of the religious value of Hadith.

From the Paper
"The first problematic feature of hadith literature is precisely its casual, anecdotal nature. The hadith collections incorporate a large volume of material about the Prophet which varies from tales which are regarded even by most modern secular historians - as almost certainly authentic down to those which are regarded as highly improbable. Although Islamic scholars soon developed a "science" of hadith (riwayat) which seems admirable in comparison to the speculativeness which surrounds debate about the authenticity of traditions concerning Christ, the fact remains that the extant hadith collections date from a period as late as about a quarter of a millennium after Muhammed allegedly died. (I say "allegedly" because it is from the hadith literature itself that the Prophet's life dates are determined.)"
