Salvador Borrego (born April 24, 1915) is a Mexican journalist, Historical revisionist and neo-nazi writer.[1][2][3]
He has written several books, including Derrota Mundial (Worldwide Defeat), published on 1953, in which he claims that the defeat of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany was a defeat for the entire world because the Nazis were fighting against what they believed to be an international Jewish evil, and their plan to take over the global economy. In America Peligra (America in Danger), published on 1964, he focuses the story in what he asserts is an international jewish kabal or conspiracy to provide what he claims to be the true account of the unfolding of historical events in Mexico and Latin America.
In 1996 Catalonian police closed a bookstore managed by Pedro Varela, and confiscated a host of Nazi books and publications, including those of Salvador Borrego.[4] Varela was arrested, but the bookstore opened again several months later. Borrego turned 100 in April 2015.[5]

Some historians consider historical revisionism as a strongly politically-determined pseudohistory. While some of them are highly-regarded historians trying to decipher past events to shed light on new discoveries, others pretend to influence their readers and manipulate them in a political way. In Mexico, the historian Salvador Borrego is considered as a revisionist. The dangers of this way of researching the past are evident through the example of a radical version of it: the denial of the Holocaust, by a group that claimed to be historical revisionists that arose after the Second World War. They disputed, withlittle or no evidence, widely accepted facts about the Holocaust inventing hypotheses such as the fact that no Jews were gassed or that the Holocaust was a Zionist conspiracy

In December 1996, the Catalonian autonomous police closed the Europa bookstore managed by Pedro Varela. Numerous Nazi books and publications denying the Holocaust were confiscated, along with videotapes, pamphlets, and other materials in Spanish, English, and German. Page proofs of new publications yet to go to press were also confiscated, demonstrating the Europa was one of the largest producers of antisemitic material in Europe. Indeed, Librería Europa’s 1996 catalogue listed several publications about the composer Richard Wagner, Nordic and Scandinavian mythology, Nazi art, the Luftwaffe and Waffen SS, works by Julius Evola, and various Holocaust denial publications by Erik Norling, Carlos Caballero, and Salvador Borrego. Varela was arrested, and place on provisional liberty awaiting the trial. Thus, with the new law, it is possible to curb the activities of racist groups. However, Librería Europa was open again after a few months.
