The Institute for Historical Review (IHR) is a United States–based nonprofit organization which promotes Holocaust denial.[1] It is considered by many scholars to be central to the international Holocaust denial movement.[1][2][3] Self-described as a "historical revisionist" organization, the IHR promotes antisemitic viewpoints[4] and has links to several neo-Nazi and neo-fascist organizations.

The group was founded in 1978 in Torrance, California, by David McCalden and Willis Carto, and is headquartered in Fountain Valley, California. It published the Journal of Historical Review until 2002, but now disseminates its materials through its website and via email. The parent corporation of the IHR and the affiliated Noontide Press is the Legion for the Survival of Freedom.[5]

In 2009, IHR director Mark Weber published an article questioning the relevance of "Holocaust revisionism" in general, triggering infighting in the movement.[6]
