QuackeryWatch Finding

Hulda Clark's publisher, New Century Press, distributed an English translation of a German-language book making baseless historical claims about the origins of the Holocaust — content that drew sharp, public condemnation as antisemitic propaganda from readers and reviewers. The same publisher also released titles by an author whose medical license had been suspended for a criminal conviction. Neither fact reflects on Clark's own personal beliefs directly, but both raise real questions about the editorial standards, or complete absence of them, at the company producing and distributing her work.

The Book

New Century Press published and sold, at a discounted price, an English translation of a German-language book by author Hennecke Kardel that advanced a discredited historical thesis: that the Holocaust resulted from what the book characterized as internal Jewish conflict, rather than from Nazi persecution. This framing has been widely and specifically identified by historians and reviewers as a form of Holocaust distortion.

A published review of the book, submitted by a reader from Oakland, California, offered a direct and unambiguous rebuttal:

"A total piece of fiction from beginning to end... It is so laughable that respectable historians don't even review it. It is another piece of anti-Semitic propaganda masquerading as history. You don't like history? Make up your own!... Just like a 'scientific looking' argument that the earth is flat is not science." — Reader review, cited on QuackeryWatch's original archive of this material

We do not reproduce the book's specific historical claims here. The relevant fact for readers is straightforward: a publisher central to producing and distributing Hulda Clark's entire catalog of books also chose to publish and sell, at a discount, a work reviewers immediately and correctly identified as antisemitic propaganda.

Other Questionable Authors in NCP's Catalog

New Century Press also published multiple titles by Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD — an author whose medical credentials warrant scrutiny independent of the antisemitism issue above.

Licensing Record — Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD
  • New York: Convicted of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree. The New York State Board of Regents denied his petition for restoration of his medical license on May 17, 2000.
  • New Jersey: License suspended in June 1997, per New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs records current as of March 2004.
  • Ohio: Never held a renewed license after December 31, 1984, despite NCP materials suggesting he was conducting research there.

The pattern — an author whose medical licenses had been suspended or revoked in multiple states, publishing health-related books through the same press that produced Clark's catalog — is consistent with a publisher exercising essentially no editorial or credentialing scrutiny over the material and authors it profits from.
