Dear Colleagues:
Please be advised that an outfit calling itself "Buchwurm" is passing
itself off as a legitimate source of German-language books in the US. It
is, however, a front for Nazi and Holocaust revisionist propaganda. While
they do have a standard selection of German fiction, their "Geschichte"
section has only books that disavow German responsibility for W.W.II and
the Holocaust. They do so under the guise of resisting "PC."
I warn you because they contacted me and asked to be included on my web
page as a resource for students seeking German texts on-line. They do not
foreground their ideological mission, however, and one could support their
efforts unintentionally through a purchase.
If you wish to review their page yourself, the address is:
http://www.buchwurm.com
Sincerely,
Cary
