About 40 minutes into a film titled, “The Holocaust Debate,” shown last week at the Flathead County Library’s Kalispell branch, a group of four people got up and walked out, shaking their heads.

The film was a recording of a 1995 debate featuring Mark Weber, a historical “revisionist” who argues that the Holocaust – a term that broadly refers to the systematic killing of 6 million European Jews by the Nazis during World War II – did not occur, and Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution,” was to deport Jews, not exterminate them. Taking on Weber and arguing that the Holocaust is a historical fact was Michael Shermer, a science writer and editor of Skeptic magazine, which investigates controversial ideas and claims.
