INTRODUCTION

The American Holocaust Website is based on three excerpts from the book "Lies Across America," by James W. Loewen. Lies Across America details the inaccuracies and false accounting of history behind historical markers and memorials across the nation, which are used perennially to distort the historic record in physical and material ways. Loewen is also the author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me," which won the American Book Award.

"Lies Across America" was published by the New Press, which was established in 1990 "as a not-for-profit alternative to the large, commercial publishing houses currently dominating the book publishing industry. The New Press operates in the public interest rather than for private gain, and is committed to publishing, in innovative ways, works of educational, cultural, and community value that are often deemed insufficiently profitable."

The American Holocaust Website has been sponsored by the World FREE Internet, which has no ties with the New Press, or Mr. Loewen. This Website, however, has limited its focus to the American Indians, and at that, it is not meant to be a complete documentation of all the crimes that took place against them. Instead, this Website addresses the general theme of European and Indian relations, as demonstrated through several high profile events, that have become the subject of American mythology due to the erection of various monuments and memorials which have distorted the way Americans understand their own history.

Also, there are other American ethnic groups that can legitimately claim that a holocaust was perpetrated against them as well. The issues of other American ethnic groups, and the crimes committed against them, shall be covered in separate websites, as materials are assembled. Anyone with pertinent information relating to the inter-ethnic relations of the American people, are invited to contact the sponsors, for the purpose of the development of further informational resources that will bring the true historic record of the United States republic to the attention of the general public.
