PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22 -- A leading Holocaust research institute will release its annual report on Holocaust denial around the world this coming Friday (Dec. 26).

The year-end report will discuss trends and developments in Holocaust denial in various countries during 2003, including the involvement of a prominent U.S. Senator in a recent Holocaust- deniers' conference, and the growing phenomenon of government- sponsored Holocaust-denial in Arab countries.

The report, titled "Holocaust Denial: A Global Survey -- 2003," will be issued by The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, which is based at Gratz College, near Philadelphia. The report's co-authors are Holocaust scholars Dr. Alex Grobman (author of a recent book on Holocaust denial) and Dr. Rafael Medoff (director of the Wyman Institute).

The complete text of the report will be posted on the Wyman Institute's Web site, http://www.WymanInstitute.org, as of Friday morning, Dec. 26.

The authors will be available for interviews by telephone as of 9 a.m. EST on Friday, Dec. 26.
