Michael Anthony Hoffman
II
American historian and writer,
* 1954, New York
H. is the managing editor of the newsletter 'Revisionist History', and describes himself as a
"heretical writer."
H. was educated at the State University of New York at Oswego. He is a former reporter for the New York bureau of the Associated Press and is the author of several books and articles (including for the UK-based magazine Fortean Times).
H. moved from New York to Idaho in 1996. H. now writes mainly on World War II revisionism, current affairs, the occult roots of freemasonry and
Judaism. H.'s vocation is "researching the occult cryptocracy's orchestration of American history." He believes that this cryptocracy runs American history, controlling culture and thought.
In his book 'Judaism's Strange Gods' (2000) H. argues that modern-day Jewish Orthodoxy has little to no relation to the Tanakh (the Jewish sacred texts that also form the basis of the Christian Old Testament), but on the Talmud and the
Mishnah.
H. doubts that execution gas chambers existed in the Nazi camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, and claims that the term "Holocaust" is Orwellian Newspeak
imposed beginning circa 1978 in order to confuse and distract from debates about the numbers of Jewish deaths that can be attributed to Nazis.
H. doubts that six million Jews were killed by the Nazis and asserts that most of the Jewish deaths in WWII were from typhus, malnutrition and shootings perpetrated by some units of the SS on the Eastern front.
H. believes that Hitler did indeed have as a goal, at least philosophically, the extermination (Ausrottung) of the Jewish people, but
also argues that the primary means of extermination - the execution gas chambers of Auschwitz
- have not been scientifically proved to have existed or been operable, and that "eyewitness" testimony failed under cross-examination at the 1985 "Great Holocaust Trial" of Ernst Zündel in Toronto.
H. points to German eyewitnesses such as Thies Christophersen who maintained there were no execution gas chambers in Auschwitz.
H. has been influenced by the research of Charles D. Provan, Carlo Mattogno, Germar Rudolf and Brian
Renk.
H. rejects the label "Holocaust denier," and argues that the label is applied unfairly, and with an emotional rather than empirical basis, to those who research controversial issues related to WWII and Judaism
- according to H., applying the same partisan logic, those who doubt the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception would be stigmatized by journalists and academics as "Immaculate Conception
deniers."
Another of H.'s subjects of study is indentured servitude and slavery in America; he claims that a widespread history of white slavery has been overlooked by most historians. In his book
'They Were White and They Were Slaves', H. describes a social structure situating poor whites as holding the lowest post in colonial and post-colonial
America.
