Noontide Press is an American publisher founded by far-right activist Willis Carto and his wife Elisabeth Carto in the 1960s. It was founded as the publishing arm of the Liberty Lobby, before becoming one for the Institute for Historical Review. Many of its books deny the holocaust; it describes itself as a publisher of "hard-to-find books and recordings from a dissident, 'politically incorrect' perspective." The group has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to its Holocaust denial and white-separatist activities.
History
[edit]Noontide Press was founded by far-right activist Willis Carto and his wife Elisabeth Carto[1] in the early 1960s.[2] Initially founded as a subsidiary of the Liberty Lobby, then the largest antisemitic group in North America.[2] it later became the publishing arm of the Institute for Historical Review.[1]
The group has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to its Holocaust denial and white-separatist activities.[3] The perpetrator of the 2009 United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting James von Brunn was a former employee of the group.[4]
Works published
[edit]It describes itself as a publisher of "hard-to-find books and recordings from a dissident, 'politically incorrect' perspective."[5] The publisher offered a means for holocaust deniers to sell and publish their writings,[1] and of its books deny the holocaust, it and World War II revisionism being its two leading categories.[6][7]
Another source said that as of 2005 they were "the major publisher of antisemitic, revisionist, and racist texts in the United States".[8] Noontide Press is also the distributor of the remaining backstock of books published by Ralph Myles,[5] a company set up by libertarian revisionist historian James J. Martin, who sold the remaining stock of Ralph Myles books to the IHR before his death.[9]
