Retrieval Augmented Generation
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm
Is there an existing database with links or PDFs of all the Holocaust denial texts and sources?
Holocaust denial literature is fringe, often self-published, and not widely available in mainstream academic or library databases. That means LLMs often summarize their positions from secondary sources rather than quoted them directly which can lead to hallucinations and errors. Deniers often write in a technical-sounding style so simplification can often misrepresent their points.
By building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), LLMs can be connected to that database and automatically pull exact passages from the text in order to rebut which eliminates the risk of making up quotations.
Have you guys built anything like this yourself already? I don't have the time to go through all the material by hand obviously, but I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to use technology to be more effective and efficient.
