Holocaust History Project Attacked By Arsonists?

   I've been writing semi-regularly on the history of genocide (or what's
   probably more properly called democide) since opening Dean's World.
   One group of people I loathe more than just about anyone else are the
   denialists, those who try to claim these events never happened.
   Whether it's denial Hitler's holocaust--which is probably the worst
   and oldest strain of mass-murder denialism--or those who deny things
   like Stalin's forced famine in Ukraine (see [1]Walter Duranty
   rembmered and [2]Famine, Lies, and Justice) or the Armenian Genocide
   (see [3]The Forgotten or [4]Orhan Pamuk Tells The Truth), or Mao's
   hideous legacy of mass murder (see [5]Remembering Evil), it's a
   subject that's been near to my heart for many years. It's something
   I've written about since the earliest days of this weblog, and will
   continue to write about whenever I see it.

   If we deny that certain events happened, we make it easier for them to
   happen again.

   So I was horrified today to learn that the Holocaust History Project,
   a group specifically set up to document Hitler's holocaust and debunk
   those who claim it never happened, was the subject of what was
   probably a malicious arson attack. [6]Orac has details, and links.
