Life
Information about Mattogno can only be found on revisionist websites. Accordingly, he studied Latin, Greek, philosophy, oriental studies and religious studies. This information cannot be verified from independent sources. There is also no indication of the time and possible completion of a degree.
Mattogno made public appearances in 1985 when he published two pseudoscientific studies for the neo-fascist publisher Sentinella d'Italia , "Il rapporto Gerstein: anatomia di un falso" (The Gerstein report - anatomy of a forgery) and "Il mito dello sterminio ebraico" ( The Myth of the Extermination of the Jews). Both publications were designed to deny the genocide in the concentration and extermination camps of the National Socialists . In his publication Bełżec - In Propaganda, Testimonies, Archeological Research, and History , translated from Italian , Mattogno claims that the Belzec extermination camp was just a “transit camp for the transfer of Jews to the East”.
Mattogno is a member of the Advisory Board of the Institute for Historical Review , which supports the Holocaust-denying theses, and co-editor of its journal of Historical Review, as well as a contributor to the Annales d'Histoire Revisionniste . In some publications he worked with the Holocaust denier Jürgen Graf . Mattogno's publications appear in English and German, among others by Castle Hill Publishers , which the Holocaust denier Germar Rudolf runs in Hastings, but also on various revisionist websites.
