The Student Press Illustrates Once Again
The Depth of the Holocaust Taboo
In the American University

Bradley Smith

The Belfer First Step Workshop on the Holocaust is a program created by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to prepare pre-service secondary teachers to integrate the Holocaust into their lesson plans effectively. I learned about the Workshop in The Anchor, the student newspaper at Rhode Island College.

It is worth noting that the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is a proactive State agency, funded by tax dollars, dedicated to forwarding the State narrative that during World War II the Germans were uniquely monstrous. It is a narrative that has been carried out brilliantly in the name of various American war parties, spearheaded in the university by Hillel and the ADL, but infecting all media and intellectual classes.

Rhode Island College was one of six institutions of higher education across the nation selected by the USHMM to host the Belfer Workshop. The other five included Auburn University, Cal State U Long Beach, Illinois State University, St. Cloud State, and the University of Northern Colorado. The day after encountering this material we submitted announcements to the online editions of the student newspaper at each of these campuses. In each instance the text of the announcement read:

“INCONVENIENT HISTORY: The Power of Taboo.”

Six words. The text itself is a link which, when the student clicks on it, will take her to the Website of Inconvenient History. In the latest issue of that journal she will find, among other papers, the 9,000-word word paper by Germar Rudolf titled “Resistance Is Obligation.” The ad was accepted by The UNC Mirror at U Northern Colorado, by The Chronicle at St. Cloud U., and by The Anchor at Rhode Island College.

I wrote The UNC Mirror to congratulate the editor for standing with the ideal a free press. I wrote the advisor of The Daily 49er to express my dismay—well, not my dismay, I’m well acquainted with how “advisors” to the student press operate in the American university—but my disapproval of such advice…

  • 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.
