Names: Do You Have Some that It Would be Good for Me to Have?

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ June 1, 1996

Nothing in this business is more important than names — names of individuals who are interested in revisionism and intellectual freedom. If you have the names and addresses of individuals you have reason to believe might want to know about Smith’s Report and read about the work we are doing, I would very much appreciate having them. It might be a list of 500 or 5,000, or it might be the names of five friends or acquaintances. Many or few, the names and addresses you send us could prove to be very helpful. Please send what names you can.

  • Bradley R. Smith

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.

Letters

Hardly a day goes by that I do not get a letter congratulating me, advising, criticizing, offering to help, questioning my good sense, pointing out the errors of fact in Smith's Report and the errors of judgement in my thinking. The great majority of the letters are simply to encourage me to continue with this…
