News of an arson attack on the offices of The Holocaust History Project follows an extended cyber-attack by holocaust deniers on the project over recent months.

Harry Mazal, the Director of THHP said,"We have been able to defend our work against these cyber attackers. They tried, but couldn't shut us down. We have strong indications that this arson is the next step in a series of attacks against our educational and scholarly work. Although the fire caused significant damage to our offices, there is no way we will be silenced. Our web site has not been affected, and our work will continue."
