The large number of laws and judicial decisions on anti-negationism as well as the reflections on conditions and limits of the so called "memory laws" demonstrate that lawyers are deeply interested in "history" and "memory". However, in contemporary constitutional States the "right to history" must be addressed from a broader perspective, which takes into account the essential link between the Constitutional State and the history of Fascism and anti-fascist Resistance in Europe. A conception of history as a constitutional right and duty requires a promotional approach on different levels: a free and financially supported historical research, the interpretation and enforcement of the constitution in its historical consistency, history education as a tool for active citizenship and democratic participation.

Keywords: Anti-negationism, memory laws, right to history, Constitution, Constitutional State, anti-fascist resistance.
