Nicholas Kollerstrom

Nicholas Kollerstrom (born 1946) is an English historian of science and author who is known for the promotion of Holocaust denial and other conspiracy theories. Formerly an honorary research fellow in The Department for Science and Technology Studies (STS) at University College London (UCL), he is the author of several books, including ''Gardening and Planting by the Moon'' (an annual series beginning in 1980), ''Newton's Forgotten Lunar Theory'' (2000), ''Crop Circles'' (2002), and ''Terror on the Tube'' (2009). He has also written entries for the ''Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers''.

Kollerstrom has been involved in a variety of issues as a political activist. In 1986 he co-founded the Belgrano Action Group after the sinking of the ''ARA General Belgrano'' by the Royal Navy during the Falklands War, and from 2006 he argued that the 7 July 2005 London bombings were not carried out by the men accused of them. UCL withdrew his fellowship in 2008 in response to his views about the Auschwitz concentration camp, which he posted on a Holocaust-denial website. Provided by Wikipedia
