History

Noontide Press was founded by far-right activist Willis Carto and his wife Elisabeth Carto in the early 1960s. Initially founded as a subsidiary of the Liberty Lobby, then the largest antisemitic group in North America, 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.^[2] The perpetrator of the 2009 United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting James von Brunn was a former employee of the organization.^[3]

Works published

It describes itself as a publisher of "hard-to-find books and recordings from a dissident, 'politically incorrect' perspective."^[4] The publisher offered a means for holocaust deniers to sell and publish their writings, and many of its books deny the Holocaust, it and World War II revisionism being its two leading categories.^[5]

Another source said that as of 2005 they were "the major publisher of antisemitic, revisionist, and racist texts in the United States".^[6] Noontide Press is also the distributor of the remaining backstock of books published by Ralph Myles, 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.^[7]
