Mark Weber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Weber is director of the Institute for Historical Review, which describes itself as an independent revisionist history publishing and research center. Its critics call it a holocaust denial organization. The Anti-Defamation League, for example, says: "More than any other propagandist, Mark Weber, 45, embodies the Holocaust-denial movement."
Weber has been associated with the IHR since 1991 and has been the Institute Director since 1995. He has also been associated with and maintains contact with the National Alliance.
Weber was born in Portland, Oregon in 1951. After graduating from Jesuit High School in 1969, he studied history in Chicago at the University of Illinois. He continued his studies at the University of Munich, and, returning to Oregon, took a bachelors degree in history with high honors. In graduate school, he continued the pursuit of history at Indiana University, receiving a master’s degree in 1977.
Weber then traveled in Europe and Africa, where he secured a position as a teacher of history, geography and English in Ghana. Returning to the United States, he spent five years in Washington DC conducting research at the National Archives and the Library of Congress into the German wartime Jewish policy and issues related to the Holocaust.
He has two children, a daughter born in 1996, and a son born in 1998.
