I discovered the Pravda article you mention in SR 55 in 1979 in the National Archives, Suitland (Maryland) branch. I was working on the case of Otto Moll, the SS non-commissioned officer (?) in charge of the Auschwitz Birkenau cremations. In the Prosecutor’s file I found a brief report from the Washington (D.C.) Daily News…

A favorite tactic of Holocaust cultists has been to exploit the power of images—photographic and “artistic”—to convey and suggest the horrors, real or imaginary, of the Holocaust. Oftentimes our opponents have resorted to miscaptioned or misleading photos to, in the words of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), “counter the hate-mongers and revisionists.” So…

Ingrid Weckert, author of Flashpoint, a probing revisionist study of the “Kristallnacht” affair, has just been convicted in Germany. Her crime? A literary comparison of the diaries of a wartime concentration camp inmate with those of a German soldier imprisoned by the American forces at Dachau after the war. Federal German judges have decreed that…

Did the Holocaust exist? Did the SS trade down Jewish escapees from Treblinka with helicopters? Are revisionists anti-Semitic? What ever became of Herschel Grynszpan? To each of these questions, to many others large and small, indeed to any and all questions that extermmatiomsts, revisionists and, above all, those in between, ask on the Holocaust and…

Several hundred new subscribers come on board in recent weeks—Hello and Welcome to one and all! The paper work associated with it taxes my meager office skills to the limit. I thank the gods for Patricia, 300-plus miles to the north in Visalia, who sorts, orders, prints and ships everything and keeps the books straight….

I promoted two items in our Catalog that have not shipped. A Nation on Trial by Birn and Finkelstein, and the Wiesenthal portfolio. I have no excuse this time. I wasn’t moving. The orders were not mislaid. Just carelessness. Those of you who asked that we send you one or both of these items should…

What a marvelous series this promises to be [An Ongoing Conversation About Libertarianism and Revisionism]. Six months ago I would not have given a “Holocaust Revisionist” any credibility whatsoever. Ad homonym attacks are common because they tend to be very effective (and require little intellectual or factual ammunition), and I had bought into the often-expressed…

On February 2, 1945 Pravda, organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, published an article briefly describing what Red Army troops had found on overrunning the Nazi slave labor camp at Auschwitz. The article, the first public revelation of the site's existence, is surprising for what it does not…

Readers of Smith's Report may recall our announcement of having been the proud recipients of an Internet award in 1996 (see SR 47 “Notebook). The award was a “Top 5% of the Web” rating by Lycos—a web directory of top-shelf sites rated by the Web's most experienced reviewers. For quite some time CODOHWeb has proudly…

Recent issues of Vierteljahreshefte fuer freie Geschichtsforschung (Quarterly for Free Historical Research), the Belgian-published, German-language revisionist review that shines as one of the world's best, contain various articles under CODOH bylines: Samuel Crowell, on the technique and operation of German air-raid shelters during WWII (including his devastating critique of the Majdanek door offered as the…
