SMITH’S REPORT

On the Holocaust Controversy

No. 19 ∙ www.Codoh.com ∙ Winter 1992

Serving the Revisionist Community since 1990

This report informs you of what I am doing personally to promote open debate on the Holocaust story. It does not attempt to monitor the Revisionist movement. Smith's Report is published six times a year and is sent free to those of you who help me with contributions, clippings or in other ways. It isn't possible for me to do this work effectively without your help.

I welcome correspondence but can not reply to it unless it urgently addresses business to hand. If you do not want your name mentioned herein please say so in writing. Your generosity is the cornerstone of whatever success I will have in helping to open up the Holocaust story to free inquiry and open debate.

Edgar M. Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, is circulating a fund-raising letter tying together CODOH's Campus Project and—I'm not joking here—the "rise of Vladimir Zhirinovsky" in Russia. The Jewish community is being frightened with the prospect of a new axis of power as Vladimir and Smith forge an …

Smith's Report relates the adventures of the author as he tries, against the better judgement and bitter condemnation of all the best people in America, to encourage open debate on the gas chamber controversy. Why he should have committed himself to such an evil enterprise remains one of the great …

One Sunday afternoon in December I was sprawled over the living room sofa channel surfing with our TV changer when I came across a CNN replay of an orientation meeting for the newly elected Republican members of the U.S. Congress. Speakers Bill Bennett and Rush Limbaugh were sharing the podium. …

Listening to Bennett, I gave myself a pat on the back. In November I'd mailed a review copy of our video, "David Cole Interviews Dr. Franciszek Piper," to the editors of 460 college newspapers. Not to those we've sent stuff to before, but 460 editors who have never before received …

If you received our Christmas letter and thought I looked a little hang-dog in the photo, well ... I was taking the photo myself on a ten-second delay. When I set off the process and made a run for my seat next to Paloma I accidentally kicked our dog in …

If you wonder, as a reporter for an Oregon paper did, why the cartoons in SR has all those little animals in them, they are our tribute to Art Spiegelman, creator of Maus, A Survivor's Tale.

"Holocaust Denial, A Pocket Guide," published be the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, is forthrightly intended to short-circuit the success the Campus Project is having on college campuses. The booklet was prepared by Marc Caplan, Research Analyst, and Alan M. Schwartz. Director, of the Anti-Defamation League's "Research and Evaluation Department." …

A reader writes to thank me for an audio cassette of a radio program I hosted on W.A.L.E. AM, then goes on to ask, again, "When are you going to challenge the Jews beyond the Holocaust ...?" I don't expect I ever will. That's never been in the cards for …

A supporter decided to post an offer on Internet to donate a free copy of the Cole/Piper video to the first 100 respondents who asked for it. Internet is the world-wide electronic hook-up of literally millions of individual computers. The idea was to encourage the development of a dialogue here …

"Revising the Twentieth Century" by John Lukacs appeared in the September 1994 issue of American Heritage. It discusses four waves of revisionism occurring during the century, the most recent coming from the "so-called right" and beginning in the mid-1980s in Germany. The "main figures have been German professional historians who, …

SALON is a small independent periodical published out of Fort Collins, Colorado. It's edited by a very independent and thoughtful lady named Pat Hartman. Each issue is devoted to one theme. One day recently out of the blue, I received issue #22 of SALON by post. Its theme is Freedom …

Student journalists at Northwestern and University of Oregon, a professor of communications at University of Miami, and a student editor at Western Michigan tell me they are doing papers or projects on CODOH's Campus Project. The piece by the Western Michigan reporter will appear in part in U. The National …

In the last issue of SR I announced excitedly that I had my own radio talk show on W.A.L.E.-AM in Providence Rhode Island. It appeared to be an unmatched opportunity to promote revisionist theory on radio. I fully expected to develop an audience quickly, to cause a scandal all over …

Most of you know that David Cole traveled with a camerawoman to Poland, Austria and Germany in the fall of 1992 to make a new, detailed film record of the physical evidence for the alleged gassing chambers. Many of you do not yet know that he returned to Europe in …

David has spent the best part of four years studying the physical evidence for the gassing chambers. That effort, together with a real need on the part of revisionists and mainstream historians as well, informed both his trips to Europe. Now he has worked out a series of questions (not …

We post it here only because it was printed in this issue of Smith's Report. Editor's remark. While CODOH is not a publisher, it's activities do produce …
