Welcome to CODOH!

The aim of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust is to promote intellectual freedom permitting an uncensored and unimpeded, yet always civil discourse on the “Holocaust” narrative, and to offer a forum to those who contest the orthodox Holocaust narrative. As an introduction, we recommend:

Holocaust Encyclopedia

El Gran Tabu: Get to know CODOH’s founder Bradley Smith, and Germar Rudolf, who continues Brad’s legacy at CODOH, as well as Ernst Zündel, a major revisionist activist.

Always Hot: The new standard reference work summarizing in 579 nutshell entries the research results of skeptical Holocaust research. This 634-page letter-size “Nuke Book” gives you an uncensored and unconstrained look at all the pertinent evidence that upholds the orthodox Holocaust narrative: the true, the false, and the mendacious. It also exposes the various forces and influences that have dictated how this narrative was formed, and how it is protected from skeptical prying eyes. Learn about the biggest propaganda campaign mankind has ever seen, and how it braced the postwar world psychologically. This encyclopedia gives you all the information they ever wanted, and information you didn’t even know exists, right at your fingertips. Learn more…

    A great Holocaust Revisionist has passed away. I usually do not write revisionist with a capital letter. But in this case, I have to. Jürgen was a very dear friend of mine. I met him for the first time in 1994 in his hometown Basel, when we went out for dinner one evening. The previous…
  • Who Destroyed Syria?
    Syria is a very difficult country to govern, because of its diversity. It has both ethnic and religious divisions that make the contentment of all the people difficult if not impossible to achieve. Even under the best of circumstances, there will always be dissatisfied factions in such a diverse society. This difficulty is aggravated by…

    In 2016, I wrote for CODOH critical expositions of the views of two men formerly prominent in Holocaust Revisionism, David Irving (“Talking Frankly about David Irving,” “David Irving is not the Embodiment of Holocaust Revisionism”) and Mark Weber (“Mark Weber: Squishy Semi-Revisionist Shirker” – Part One and Part Two), who now espouse what Robert Faurisson…

  • Ursula Haverbeck in Memoriam – 8 Nov. 1928 – 20 Nov. 2024
    It may sound weird today, but back in 1989, when I first joined the ranks of revisionist researchers by reading the Leuchter Report, I felt like I was late to the game. Seasoned revisionists such as Dr. Robert Faurisson, Dr. Wilhelm Stäglich and Dr. Arthur Butz had done trail-blazing work in the 1970s, as I…

    On October 15, 2024, Stew Peters had the courtesy to grant me a brief interview on our Holocaust Encyclopedia. It was integrated into one of his shows the next day.

  • Holocaust Poseurs
    The Ubiquity of False Holocaust Testimony Recently, I’ve been reading a book published by Yale University Press in 1941, Atrocity Propaganda by James Morgan Read. It’s interesting for not only the exposure of the kind of lying that went on in the First World War, but also the extent to which at least educated people had recovered from that propaganda. They understood that wars are full of lying, all right? So, I want to read you just a little bit of this, a couple of paragraphs from James Read’s book Atrocity Propaganda.

  • Germar Rudolf

    Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist, which is comparable to a U.S. PhD degree. From 1990-1993 he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz, The Rudolf Report (now titled The Chemistry of Auschwitz). He conclude in it that "the alleged facilities for mass extermination at Auschwitz and Birkenau were not suited for the purpose as claimed." As a result he had to endure severe measures of persecution in subsequent years. Hence he went into British exile, where he started the small revisionist outlet Castle Hill Publishers. When Germany asked Britain to extradite Rudolf in 1999, he fled to the U.S. There he applied for political asylum, expanded his publishing activities, and in 2004 married a U.S. citizen. In 2005, the U.S. recognized Rudolf's marriage as valid and seconds later arrested and subsequently deported him back to Germany, where he was put in prison for 44 months for his scholarly writings. Some of the writings he got punished for had been published while Rudolf resided in the U.S., where his activities were and are perfectly legal. Since not a criminal under U.S. law, he managed to immigrate permanently to the U.S. in 2011, where he rejoined his U.S. citizen wife and daughter. He currently resides in Upstate New York.
