There is currently very little debate concerning the existence and events of the Holocaust. However, several individuals still contest these facts by claiming that the Holocaust was a “hoax” and have developed a number of conspiracy theories to explain away the events of the Holocaust or attempt to show that history incorrectly portrays what actually happens.
Many of these webpages are created by amateurs and often do not contain any clearly cited research or standing in fact. In many cases, the creators of the websites are unknown or part of a larger group that preaches against the existence of the Holocaust in the way that it is currently remembered. They also contain clear biases against the groups that we know to have been persecuted during the events of the Holocaust, such as the Jewish people or homosexuals.
In both of the websites examined here, the authors are specifically targeting the Jewish people and, though incorrect, cited many of the same reasons why the Jews should be viewed as “satanic” or monitored for less than savory acts.
The Website entitled ”Jew Watch” contains a variety of links to external sites that speak to the heinous acts of the Jewish people and why they are corrupting modern society. They speak to a wide range of “issues” ranging from their role in the Holocaust and the supposed lies that they told about this time, to the influence of Jewish actors in the entertainment industry. One such external link found here speaks to why the holocaust was ultimately successful in accomplishing the noble goal of killing millions of innocent Jews, an idea that they claim was posited twenty years before by the mayor of New York.
This website is very similar to “Judaism is Satanic”, which also publishes a series of links to works created by the author or others that concur with the belief that the Jewish people are the root of all problems. Many of these links pertain to the evils of Judaism in the post- Holocaust era with documentaries detailing why the Jews were at fault for major events such as the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
Both of these websites had similar content in that they discussed the evils of Judaism, but had very different approaches. The first website, Jew Watch, was concerned with the evils of the Jews both during the holocaust and beyond, while the second website was more focused on the Jews and their influence post- World War II. They were also both set up similarly with many external links to provide “proof” of their opinions.
These are clearly amateur websites, which is seen clearly through the overall setup of the websites. While both provide a variety of links, that is either the only content (Jew Watch), or the links are dispersed through a full page of text (Judaism is Satanic). Both websites have layouts that are mainly focused on long pieces of text with little to no graphics and are generally difficult to follow the arguments presented. Overall, these websites were unreliable sources of fact and cannot be considered credible.
