Note the usual lies that the so called 'Wyman Institute' uses.
They know that the 'holocau$t' cannot stand up to rational, scientific scrutiny, so their only recourse is to attempt to ban free speech, free inquiry. Their shrillness indicates a lack of evidence for their profitable judeo-supremacist tool.

NSA report calls Holocaust deniers, scholars
A National Security Agency report labels Holocaust deniers as "scholars and researchers" - causing some to demand the report be recalled

A National Security Agency report labels Holocaust deniers as "scholars and researchers." Officials from the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies say the report whitewashes over the aspect of Holocaust deniers - and they are demanding the report be recalled.
"Holocaust-deniers are not scholars or researchers -- they are bigots who try to hide their anti-semitism behind the mask of fake scholarship,'' said Wyman Institute Director Dr. Rafael Medoff. "For a U.S. government report to call them 'scholars' gives them the legitimacy they desperately crave but do not deserve.''
The report, "Eavesdropping on Hell," [ http://www.nsa.gov/publications/publi00044.cfm ] was authored by Robert Hanyok of the NSA's Center for Cryptologic History. In the report, Hanyok writes that in "the years following the war, a number of histories, memoirs, and specialized studies about the Holocaust were published. These works were based on a variety of private and official sources that were then available to the public. For the longest period, one element that was largely missing in the historical accounts was the records of the various Western intelligence agencies." The report then begins to list cases where intelligence agencies had broken Axis code and were aware of the rampant killing of Europe's Jews.
The NSA report begins: "Surely, the grimmest part of the Second World War was the Holocaust (or Shoah). This entailed the systematic and wholesale destruction of European Jewry and other groups such as Slavs, Poles, and Romany (Gypsies), among others, which the Nazis had deemed “inferior” and then slated for destruction because of race, blood, or disability. In fact, one of the major war aims of Nazi Germany was the extermination of global Jewry."
But it's the report's treatment of Holocaust deniers has raised calls that it be recalled.
In the report, Hanyok mentions the Journal of Historical Review, which he describes as a "forum for that faction of scholars and researchers associated with a movement known as 'Holocaust denial.''' Hanyok proceeds to summarize the article and explains why he believes the author was mistaken. In a footnote, Hanyok characterizes the journal's sponsors, the Institute for Historical Review, as "a loosely organized scholarly association'' that promotes "a revisionist or denial viewpoint about the Holocaust.''
"A U.S. government publication should not treat Holocaust-deniers as if they are a legitimate part of scholarly discussions about the Holocaust," said Medoff, adding, "One glance at the web site of the Institute for Historical Review reveals its blatant hate-mongering, including articles defending Hitler and alleging international Jewish conspiracies. Such bigots should not be described as 'scholars and researchers,' their organization should not be described as 'scholarly,' and their publications should not be included in a discussion of the writings of legitimate scholars of the Holocaust."
According to Instititue for Historial Review's website, which is based in California, they are "a public interest educational, research and publishing center dedicated to promoting greater public awareness of history, and especially socially-politically relevant aspects of twentieth century history. The IHR particularly strives to increase understanding of the causes, nature and consequences of war and conflict."
IHR admits it operates as an entity of “Legion for the Survival of Freedom.” According to the Anti-Defamation League the IHR has ties to the Liberty Lobby, which was founded in the 1950s by Willis Allison Carto. ADL describes Carto as "the most influential right-wing extremist propaganda organization in the United States." ADL says Carto founded the IHR in the late 1970s, although they have since had a falling out.
According to wikipedia:
The IHR was originally founded by Dave McCalden (also known as Lewis Brandon), a former member of the neo-Nazi National Front, and Willis Carto, the head of the now-defunct Liberty Lobby, who eventually lost control of the IHR in an internal power struggle. Liberty Lobby was an anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi organization best known for publishing The SPOTLIGHT, now reorganized as the American Free Press. The current head of the IHR is Mark Weber.
ADL says the IHR was often highlighted in another of Carto's publications called The Spotlight.
"A 15-page "Holocaust supplement" in the December 24, 1979, issue of The Spotlight included headlines that amplified Carto's unique rendition of the holiday spirit: "Were Six Million Jews Exterminated?" "Famous 'Gas Chamber Victims' Living Well," "Need $50,000? Find a Holocaust Victim," "Torture Used to Make Germans 'Confess.'" As Deborah Lipstadt has noted, The Spotlight ran articles claiming that Auschwitz victims were cremated to control typhoid, that the "gas chambers" were actually life-saving delousing showers, that the Diary of Anne Frank was a hoax and that Jews created the six million number to convince the United Nations to support the creation of Israel."
"The Wyman Institute points out that the U.S. State Department officially considers Holocaust-denial to be a form of antisemitism. In the State Department's January 2005 ``Report on Global Anti-Semitism,'' there are nine separate references to incidents of Holocaust-denial included among the report's listing of anti-semitic incidents in various countries," the organization said in a statement.
Curiously, Hanyok ends the report with the following:
"If there are any errors in this guide, then, in the eloquent words of the Qur’an: “If I err, I err just on my own."
