If you are writing about a connection between those who deny the Holocaust ever happened and the treatment of history in the world of 1984, please use this space to post your ideas, helpful resources, key passages, and/or questions.
I found a lot of articles when I went on Google Scholar and typed in Holocaust Denial.
Also the quote about controlling the past, present, and future is on pg. 204 in case anyone else was wondering. And in the whole section around that (pg. 204-215) there are a lot of really good quotes explaining things.
Also, here is another quote in the book 1984 on how the party alters the past. It may be helpful.
" 'Does the past exist concretely, in space? Is there somewhere or other a place, a world of solid objects, where the past is still happening?' 'No.' 'Then where does the past exist, if at all?' 'In records. And-?' 'in the mind. In human memories.' 'in memory. Very well, then. We, the Party, control all records, and we control all memories. Then we control the past, do we not?' " (p. 205)
Oh well my website is the same as J. Martinez but still i really liked that website. It helped me under stand why the people think how they do. If your going to try and "prove" why the deniers are wrong i thin you should use the fact that:
"Holocaust deniers assert that if they can discredit one fact about the Holocaust, the whole history of the event can be discredited as well. They ignore the evidence of the historical event and make arguments that they say negate the reality of the Holocaust in its entirety." (http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/denial/)
BTW I have been to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. It was amazing! if your every in D.C. I suggest you go! Its extremely sad, but if your in to the holocaust it would be an amazing experience.
I found a creditable article on Britannica Online talking about Richard Williamson denying the use of gas chambers and changing the number of deaths to 300,00 instead of six million. It could be useful in your essay to refer it to how people change history to make it line up with power and almost easier to accept/swallow.
Hey guys! I'm not sure how many people are doing this essay topic, but I hope I can help you if you are!
In my essay I am comparing the Holocaust denial to Winston's job destroying and altering history. If you are doing this or want to do this, then here are some passages that might help you with that: -page 35 -bottom of page 37 -pages 65-68 -and if you can find the page, there's also the part where Winston worked for like 24 hours straight or something like that! :)
I didn't find any specific website that helps more than any other with this topic, but I would just google it and check the credibility of the website before you use it.

It's the site of the Committe for Open Debate on the Holocaust. It's a good insight to the other side.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is a great website that has many articles about people who deny that the holocaust ever occurred.

The url above leads you to an article off of AVL talking about the holocaust denial movement that took place in Germany during the late 1800's.
As people have commented before, you can find some good quotes about how the people in 1984 alter the past and control the future.
