Regarding the "new historian" mentioned by Mr. Katz, I think it worthwhile
topoint out that the scholar Efraim Karsh has challenged the worth of
at least some of their work (e.g. in his book "Fabricating Israeli history
: the 'new historians.'"

Mme de Gramont...was called before the Revolutionary Tribunal to stand
trial for her life. "Had she ever aided the aristocrats who had escaped
abroad?" the court asked her. Mme. de Gramont knew that if she answered
yes she would be guillotined at once. For some seconds she looked at her
judges in silence, then, "I was going to answer no," she said, "but life
is not worth the lie."--as related by Whittaker Chambers in Life magazine,
September 15, 1947.
