The concept of an online Holocaust Academy teaching about the orthodox Holocaust narrative – its source-critical scrutiny, its societal and political impact, as well as the forces trying to suppress any independent investigation – was conceived in the summer of 2024 by German Holocaust scholar, author and researcher Germar Rudolf. Together with U.S. scholar Dr. Thomas Dalton, Rudolf started developing course material in November of that year. This project is ongoing in the background.
In February of 2025, the idea was born to expand the services offered by this academy to include private, in-person seminars and tutorials, to give everyone involved privacy and discretion. That requires less formal preparation for the website, so we decided to let this project fly as soon as all information necessary was collected and posted. We also added offers for editing, peer-reviewing and ghostwriting of articles, books and documentaries to the roster of services provided.
On March 29, 2025, the free-speech lobbying trust Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust decided to take this entire project under its wings. Read more about them on their website. This allows us to offer tax-deductible donations due to the non-profit status of CODOH’s umbrella trust.
We switched the site free on April 9, 2025.
