Examines the controversial practice of criminalizing genocide denial. While the rationales for criminalizing speech seems reasonable, Guenter Lewy asks readers to look again and to consider carefully the dangers of doing so. His discussion neither dismisses the ramifications of genocide denial nor justifies it; he instead looks closely at the possible risks of government-enforced interpretations of history.
