      ABSTRACT

      This chapter offers a brief outline of the recent history of the Holocaust denial movement since the Irving-Lipstadt libel trial at the turn of the millennium in 2000. While the gurus have examined all major extermination camps associated with the Holocaust, there is still no comprehensive negationist study of the 'Holocaust by bullets' in Poland and the occupied Soviet Union. The defining hallmark of web 2.0 is the explosion of social media platforms and user-generated content, from discussion forums, blogs and social networks, to below-the-line comments threads on media sites, user reviews and video uploading sites, through to the microblogging platform Twitter. Instead, the cheerleaders comment journalistically on the legal repression, academic exclusion and social taboos provoked by Holocaust denial in an effort to stimulate interest in the belief system. The attitude of the secular anti-Zionist movement towards Holocaust denial confirms its relative uselessness as a weapon in the struggle to delegitimise the existence of Israel.
