Amazon has removed 92 books promoting Shoah denial, sparking praise from Jewish groups ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day.
The tech giant faced growing public pressure on the issue in recent years. It has now taken down scores of volumes across 17 countries and more than 850 hyperlinks.
Material no longer sold on the platform includes the “Leuchter Report'', a 1988 document which attempts to deny that gas chambers were used to kill people.
Auschwitz Memorial previously described it as “an attempt, concealed beneath an academic-looking smokescreen of graphs, analyses, and calculations, at misinforming readers who have no access to the scholarly literature — or who are looking for precisely the sort of conclusions that Leuchter offers”.
Other books removed by Amazon include Austin Joseph App’s “The Six Million Swindle”, Wilhelm Stäglich’s “The Auschwitz Myth – Legend or Reality”, and several issues of the far-right publication, the Journal for Historical Review.
