Editing Institute for Historical Review (section)

==Criticism of methods==
The "Holocaust revisionist" arguments published by the IHR are not regarded as serious historical research by mainstream historians and academics; rather, they are regarded as works of [[pseudo-science]] aimed at proving that the Holocaust did not happen. The editorial board of one of the leading historical journals, ''[[The Journal of American History]]'', wrote, "We all abhor, on both moral and scholarly grounds, the substantive arguments of the Institute for Historical Review. We reject their claims to be taken seriously as historians."<ref>''[[Journal of American History]]'', Vol 80, No. 3, p. 1213.</ref> In response, IHR printed Weber's letter disputing the claims.<ref>Weber, Mark. ''[http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v13/v13n4p20_weber.html The Organization of American Historians: Faithfully Reflecting Prevailing Standards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915041250/http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v13/v13n4p20_weber.html |date=September 15, 2015 }}''. The Journal of Historical Review, July–August 1993 (Vol. 13, No. 4), pp. 20-24.</ref>

In April 2004, following a complaint by the [[David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies]], ''[[The Nation (U.S. periodical)|The Nation]]'' magazine refused to accept advertising from the IHR, stating "[T]here is a strong presumption against censoring any advertisement, especially if we disagree with its politics. This case, however, is different. Their arguments are 'patently fraudulent.{{'"}}<ref>[http://www.wymaninstitute.org/press/2004-04-22.php www.wymaninstitute.org David S.
