ABSTRACT
For the purposes of this book, “historical revisionism” refers to several practices of alternative historical interpretations, rooted, inter alia, in the history of World War II, including the genocide of Jews, assessment of collaborationism with the Nazis, pre-war and post-war negotiations on the future of Europe, occupation of Germany by the Allied forces, and so on. The term may extend to such legal problems as the appraisal of colonial practices or the Armenian genocide. This broad term is helpful to avoid the particularisation of a large realm of studies that seek acceptance under the mantle of historical merit.
