Michael Shermer, who has a Ph.D. degree in history, does a good job of reviewing historical evidence for the Holocaust, and responding to claims of deniers, in his book Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time http://www.amazon.com/People-Believe-Weird-Things-Pseudoscie... which is well worth a read. You must be a good bit younger than I am if…
…an introduction by an author who is a historian by higher education. Michael Shermer writes a number of interesting books, http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Shermer/e/B001H6MCNY/ of which my favorite is Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time. http://www.amazon.com/People-Believe-Weird-Things-Pseudoscie...
…Objectivism, until he got caught cheating on Rand and then excommunicated. Any member of Objectivism that refused to shun Branden (including members of his family) were likewise excommunicated. The book Why People Believe Weird Things has a chapter on Objectivism that is well worth reading. http://www.amazon.com/People-Believe-Weird-Things-Pseudoscie... I own and have read almost every book published by Ayn Rand.

拥有历史学博士学位的迈克尔·谢默，在他的著作《为什么人们相信奇怪的东西：伪科学、迷信与我们时代的其它困惑》（http://www.amazon.com/People-Believe-Weird-Things-Pseudoscie...）中，对大屠杀的历史证据做了非常出色的梳理，并有力反驳了否认大屠杀者的言论，这本书非常值得一读。如果你没经历过，那你肯定比我年轻不少……
