The Home Front

Sixty-six years old and never been kissed. Summer is here and the nectarine tree, the peach tree, the orange tree, the apple tree and the two little plum trees are all scarggly messes but they’re all producing wildly too and their fruit is good. Magaly is home from San Diego State for the summer and…

Jewish Comics Yes! Farcical Holocaust Tragedians No!

Doubtless you've seen the stories: the French Olympic “synchronized swimming” team in Atlanta, goose-stepping poolside to themes from Schindler's List, then diving in for their arrival at the death camps, the selection by Dr. Mengele and company, and the last march to the showers (or was it the bath tubs?). No, this one wasn't going…

A Controversy with Legs

The Irving/Goebbels/St. Martin's affair just won't die. Two months after Thomas McCormack, CEO of St. Martin's Press, announced that his company would nothonor its contract and publish David Irving's massive, exhaustively researched biography of Hitler's propaganda chief (see SR #31), this signal episode in America's lengthy postwar history of de facto censorship of revisionist scholars…

Media Project to Question How the Holocaust Story Is Exploited

As some of you may recall, I dreamed up the Media Project in January 1986. My attention had been caught by the fact that while a little revisionist literature was being distributed with some success, revisionists themselves were hard to find. There was something of a common understanding in those days that it wasn’t wise…

Zuendel, Christie Spook the Spooks

On June 11 the Canadian government's Security Intelligence Review Committee announced it was postponing indefinitely hearings on whether Ernst Zuendel represented a danger to the Canadian state. This followed by one day a brilliant argument by Zuendel's superb attorney, Doug Christie (ably assisted by Barbara Kulaszka) in an “apprehension of bias” motion against the SIRC…

Congresswoman Protests Blurb Used in Distribution of CODOH’s “Video of the Century”

An Oregon man has been distributing our one-hour video on Auschwitz, David Cole Interviews Dr. Franciszek Piper, to a nation-wide audience at his own expense. Just for starters, he sent it to the entire U.S. Congress. Marcy Kaptur (D, Ohio) thought the video was pretty nifty. On 16 January Congresswoman Kaptur wrote on her Congressional…

German Court Orders Book Burned; 100 Intellectuals Protest

Yes, you read the headline right: the present tense for “orders” is correct; the book is to be “burned” as well as banned; and so far as we can tell, no more than a hundred Germans protested publicly. The book is Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte: Ein Handbuch ueber strittige Fragen des 20. Jahrhunderts (Foundations of Contemporary…

Editorial

Gerald Footlick, a retired senior editor of Newsweek magazine, was here at the house on a recent Saturday afternoon to interview me for a book he is working on for the American Council on Education. The book is to look at a number of hot issues that have plagued college campuses in recent years and…

Volunteer Help Wanted (Needed)

There was a time several years ago when I was a one-man band and managed the Project by myself. Over the last year it has simply outgrown that kind of management. The CODOH Web site is the most obvious example of the growth of the Project. If it were not for the volunteer work of…
