I was reading Deborah Lipstadt's book Denial recently and in chapter 1 she talks about working with an Israeli organization working to immigrate Jews living in the Soviet Union to Israel. While meeting Jews in the Soviet Union she described the portrayal of the Holocaust in Soviet History books like this; "The Soviet version of the Holocaust depicted the event as an assault by fascists on communists, not by Germans on Jews." [1] What I'm wondering is how much of that description is true? I don't have any reason not to trust Dr. Lipstadt, but I want to confirm is for myself. If it was (or still is) the way she described it, than The Soviet Union's (Russia's) official position on the Holocaust is borderline Denialist itself.

Anyways, if it is true can anybody name me some Soviet texts, (preferably translated into English) that do describe it this way?
