These '''timelines of Holocaust historiography and revisionism''' list notable dates in the establishment of the orthodox historiography of [[the Holocaust]] and in [[Holocaust revisionism]].

== Timeline of the establishment of the orthodox historiography according to Holocaust revisionists ==
This is not a timeline of what did or did not happen during the Holocaust itself but a timeline of how the politically correct Holocaust version was established as argued by Holocaust revisionists.

Regarding general revisionist arguments on why and how the politically correct Holocaust version was created and have persisted, see the articles on [[Holocaust motivations]] and [[Holocaust testimonial evidence]]. See also [[Allied psychological warfare]].

*Claims of [[6 million Jews|six million suffering, dying, or dead Jews]] appeared long before the start of WWII and was claimed during and after WWII before any "official" numbers appeared.

*During the [[Second Boer War]] (1899 - 1902) the British used "concentration camps" in order to concentrate the Boer civilian population and prevent it from helping the Boer forces.

*During [[World War I]] (1914 - 1918) Allied propaganda falsely claimed large scale German atrocities.<ref name=HH15/><ref>World War I Atrocity Propaganda and the Holocaust, Is There a Lesson Here? http://www.codoh.com/library/document/363/</ref><ref>Anti-German Propaganda during WWI http://codoh.com/library/document/916/</ref><ref>The Bryce Report, Report of the Committee on Alleged German Outrages http://codoh.com/library/document/905/</ref> The Allies won the war, blamed Germany for starting it, and imposed harsh peace treaties. But Germany was never occupied and the Allies were unable to convince most Germans of their guilt with resulting widespread resentment. Avoiding a repetition of this after World War II may have been seen as very important. Another effect of WWI was that the use of poison gas during the war caused widespread fears and may have contributed to later using gas in atrocity propaganda.

*Beginning in 1917, after the [[Communist]] coup, the Communist [[Soviet Union]] started to massively censor and falsify history using a wide variety of methods including fabricating/editing photographs and documents, propaganda films, as well as using elaborate show trials with numerous "testimonies" and "confessions" in order to publicly discredit and condemn opponents.

*Beginning in 1933, National Socialist Germany started using concentration camps. See [[The_Holocaust#Argued_reasons_for_the_camps_and_deportations|The Holocaust: Argued reasons for the camps and deportations]].

*Beginning in 1941, after the start of the war with National Socialist Germany, the Communist Soviet Union started spreading stories of German mass killings. One example is the alleged use of [[gas vans]] by the [[Einsatzgruppen]]. The Soviets also started conducting war crimes tribunals.<ref name=HH01/>

*Beginning in 1941, the Communist influenced [[Auschwitz]] resistance (led by Communists such as [[Bruno Baum]] and [[Hermann Langbein]]) started spreading stories of German mass killings. "But the pesticide [[Zyklon B]] was initially not mentioned; instead, in constantly changing manner, the killings were said to being committed by means of “electrical baths”, combat gases and a “pneumatic hammer.”" Bruno Baum has even stated that: “The whole propaganda which started about Auschwitz abroad was initiated by us with the help of our Polish comrades.” “It is no exaggeration when I say that the majority of all Auschwitz propaganda, which was spread at that time all over the world, was written by ourselves in the camp.” “We carried out this propaganda in [for] the world public until our very last day of presence in Auschwitz."<ref name=HH01>Holocaust Handbooks, Volume 1: Germar Rudolf (ed.): Dissecting the Holocaust—The Growing Critique of ‘Truth’ and ‘Memory’ 2nd, revised edition. http://holocausthandbooks.com/index.php?page_id=1</ref><ref name=HH22P5/>

*The "Polish comrades" may refer to Polish partisans such as [[Jan Karski]] who around this time started spreading stories of German atrocities.

*1942 - Zionist organizations such as the [[World Jewish Congress]] started spreading stories of German mass killings.<ref name=HH07/>

*1945 - The [[western Holocaust camps]] were reached by American and British forces.

*1945 - The first [[Belsen trial]] convicted [[Josef Kramer]] and others. As Kramer had been an Auschwitz commander the trial also "confirmed" Auschwitz as an "extermination camp".

*1945 - [[Kurt Gerstein]] allegedly wrote the Gerstein Report before his death. It was very influential in establishing the politically correct view on several non-Auschwitz camps and in establishing diesel exhaust over competing alleged killing methods such as steam and electricity.<ref name=HH8>Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf.

*1946-1949 - the Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMTs).

*1947 - Auschwitz trials in Communist Poland convicted [[Rudolf Höss]] and others. Höss allegedly wrote his memoirs before his death.

*1949 - West Germany established. "The basic treaty establishing the partial sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Germany decreed that the verdicts of the IMT were final and binding for all official and judicial authorities of the Federal Republic... the Allies effectively placed the view of history resulting from their post-war judicial conclusions and verdicts beyond revision even for German courts."<ref name=HH01/>

*1952 - The International Auschwitz Committee is created with the Communist and Auschwitz resistance leader [[Hermann Langbein]] as General Secretary.

*1958-63 - the Auschwitz Museum published the "Calendar of Events in Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp".

*1960 - claims of mass gassings in the [[western Holocaust camps]] (such as Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald) are gradually abandoned or modified by orthodox historiography.<ref name=HH01/>

*1961 - the [[Eichmann]] trial which was very widely reported on by the mass media.

*1963-1965 - the [[Frankfurt Auschwitz trials]] in West Germany of former Auschwitz personnel.

*1970 - the discovery of the October 6 [[Posen speech]] text.

*1981 - Israel outlawed "Holocaust denial". This is gradually followed by "Holocaust denial" laws in a large number of Western countries.

*1989 - the fall of [[Communism]]. Orthodox historiography by, for example, the Auschwitz Museum is substantially changed.

*1989 - the publication of the first book by [[Jean-Claude Pressac]]. Many later orthodox works are by revisionists argued to be largely based on Pressac's writings, although often without acknowledging the source.

== Timeline of Holocaust revisionism ==
Timeline of Holocaust revisionism. It will not attempt to judge which individual revisionist books and articles are the most important or list them.

*1948 - the "father of Holocaust Revisionism", the Frenchman [[Paul Rassinier]], published his first book.<ref name=brief>A Brief History of Holocaust Revisionism http://www.vho.org/GB/Books/dth/fndCarto.html</ref>

*1969 - the first Holocaust revisionist book in English is published in the United States. Around this time revisionist books also appear in Germany and England.<ref name=brief/>

*1979 - the foundation of the [[Institute for Historical Review]].<ref name=brief/>

*1980-2003 - ''[[The Journal of Historical Review]]''

*1985 - the first of [[Ernst Zundel's Holocaust trials]].

*1987 - the [[Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust]] (CODOH) is founded.

*1988 - the second of [[Ernst Zundel's Holocaust trials]].

*1989 - the fall of [[Communism]]. Some of the archival material in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union are gradually made publicly available. Revisionists have argued that these, such as the Central Construction Office of Auschwitz, add further support for Holocaust revisionism.

*1994 - the journal ''[[The Barnes Review]]'' starts.

*2000 - first book in the [[Holocaust Handbooks]] series.

*2000 - [[Irving v Penguin Books Limited, Deborah E. Lipstadt]].

*2009 - the journal ''[[Inconvenient History]]'' starts.

== Timeline of convictions for "Holocaust denial" ==
A 2009 article stated "Aside from widely publicized high profile cases, it is impossible to definitively state the number of innominate victims who have fallen under the punitive arm of Holocaust denial legislation since these laws were first enacted. It has been estimated that over 58,000 individuals in Germany alone have been prosecuted for various thought crimes during the period 1994 – 1999. During the course of one year, [1999], Germany’s aggressive policy of enforcing these repressive laws accounted for 11,248 convictions. Of this number, 8,968 cases were ‘right-wing’ violations, 1,015 were categorized as “leftist,” and the remaining 1,525 cases primarily involved foreigners or other non-German related issues."<ref>The Prohibition of Holocaust Denial. https://codoh.com/library/document/1909/?lang=en</ref>
