CAMPUS Advertisements
Editor's Note: Starting in the late 1980's Bradley Smith began a campaign to
publish advertisements in college newspapers. The idea was
intended to foster open debate on the Holocaust story throughout
the country. What follows is a partial list of those advertisements as well as additional information which has
been collected over the years. A few of the ads offered financial compensation for promoting the controversy in a national
forum. The terms of these ads have expired and are presented here for historical and research purposes
only.
What became known as the "Campus
Campaign" was discussed in some detail albeit a very biased account in a chapter entitled "The Battle for the Campus" in Deborah Lipstadt's highly
subjective, Denying the Holocaust. While Smith argued directly for intellectual freedom and open debate on campus, Lipstadt,
a professor, took the opposing view -- that ideas especially
dissident ideas regarding the Holocaust story were not worthy of
discussion in America's colleges and universities.
