Akribeia, the Greek word for "exactitude," is also the name of an impressive scholarly French-language revisionist journal. Skilfully edited by Jean Plantin, the twice-yearly periodical of some 235-240 pages explores "history, rumors and legends."

Thank you, Dr. Toben, Ladies and gentlemen. I am particularly glad to see that the distinguished guests include John Bennett, whom I call the “grandpappy of revisionism in Australia.” His annual Your Rights booklet has made it the case that Australia is the only country in which revisionist material has been consistently and readily available...
