There is really no point in getting out of bed in the
morning
The English historian of science Nicholas Kollerstrom

 , former honorary research fellow in Science and Technology Studies at University College, London
(UCL), lost his fellowship with UCL in April 2008, after posting
revisionist material about the Auschwitz concentration camp
 .
On 30th June 2010,
in the Blogspot Historical Review Press, Kollerstrom
again wrote an article on the matter, stating: " It strangely turned out that I was engaging with a predominantly religious
issue, and I simply became damned as a heretic. - I’m intrigued by historical questions with a chemical twist to them. Admittedly this one lost me half of my friends, got me thrown out of my College, made me virtually unemployable, and closed the doors of publishers and public venues. However, I cannot regret publishing what I believe to be true about this profoundly important issue. I hold the view that, if the truth about such an important matter is to remain out of bounds and beyond debate, then there is really no point in getting out of bed in the
morning."
