‘The men who rewrite history’

This chapter explores how the presentation of Holocaust denial changed in various far-right parties and movements since 1967. The chapter argues that Holocaust denial, and belief in a clandestine Jewish conspiracy, remained an integral part of the epistemology which underpinned policy and the rhetoric of British far-right thinking. The chapter explores the paradox of such thinking: the claim that the genocide of European Jewry did not take place was based on the same redemptive anti-semitism and tropes of conspiracy which contributed to the Holocaust during the Second World War.
