Resources We Used

Most of the knowledge we convey is based on material stored in several archives around the world, among them most prominently:

  • Archiwum Głównej Komisji Badania Zbrodni Przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu – Instytutu Pamieci Narodowej (Archive of the Central Commission for the Investigation of the Crimes against the Polish People – National Memorial), Warsaw
  • Archiwum Państwowego Muzeum na Majdanku (Archive of the Majdanek State Museum), Lublin
  • Archiwum Państwowego Muzeum w Oświęcimiu (Archive of the Auschwitz State Museum), Bundesarchiv Koblenz (German Federal Archives, Coblenz), Coblenz and Berlin

Based on the historical documents found in these and many other archives, on forensic studies conducted by various individuals and organizations, as well as with the assistance of expert literature on a broad variety of subjects, such as chemistry, toxicology, cremation technology, combustion-engine technology etc., a broad range of very thorough critical historical studies on all major aspects of the Holocaust have been published since the mid-1970s, and in particular since the mid- and late 1980s.

Resources You Can Use

Most of the critical, independent studies on the Holocaust created over the past five decades were published in the English language in three periodicals that are all completely accessible free of charge online (The Journal for Historical Review, The Revisionist, Inconvenient History). Since the year 2000, almost all of the major studies on this topic were published as part of the world’s leading Holocaust research series Holocaust Handbooks (54 volumes as of mid-2025). All of these detailed studies are also accessible as PDF files free of charge at www.HolocaustHandbooks.com.

A concise summary of the knowledge thusly accumulated has been assembled in an Encyclopedia, which is accessible entirely free of charge online as well.

Since a picture sometimes says more than a thousand words, some of the topics covered in this vast array of printed publications have been converted into documentaries, for instance:

Additionally, several books and other resources that are for sale as print books, ebooks and audio books, but are not accessible free of charge, are highly recommended as introductions into the topic or as resources for further studies. The most pertinent ones are:
