Part I – The origins of the report
Part II – The reliability of the report
Part III – The tone of the report
Part IV – The Broad report in Revisionist and Anti-Revisionist literature
This article looks into the issue to what extent the Broad report[1], supposedly written by the former member of the Political Department in Auschwitz Pery Broad in 1945, is an authentic, reliable document. The first part discusses the origins of the report, the second addresses its reliability, the third deals with its tone and last part reviews its use and critique in both Revisionist and Anti-Revisionist literature. Much of the testimonial and documentary evidence cited is directly quoted in the endnotes or the appendix.
