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, but keeps contributing.
Jim Rizoli, for the League of Extraordinary Revisionists, interviews Bradley R. Smith, his 5th interview in the series.

A while back an SR subscriber tipped us off to a juicy tidbit on Elie Wiesel that had appeared in the February 1997 issue of Instauration, a journal speaking in the interest of America’s white “Majority” (and which recently had some kind words for Smith and CODOH). Instauration very briefly summarized an article by Naomi…

The ongoing Canadian witchhunt against the foremost exponent of Holocaust revisionism north of the border, Ernst Zuendel, turned even uglier as the numerous state and Jewish agencies ranged against him stooped to having Zuendel’s estranged wife, Irene, testify against him at hearings designed to muzzle Ernst and the U.S.-based, independently operated Zuendelsite of the World…

This issue of Smith’s Report is the fiftieth I’ve published since the first one in the spring of 1990. Fully a third of those issues have appeared in the last two years. I got involved in promoting Holocaust revisionism in July, 1984, just after the arson attack that burned the Institute for Historical Review to…

*** Smith’s Report #2. November, 1990. Visalia, California: “This report informs you of what I am doing personally to promote an open debate on the Holocaust story. It does not attempt to monitor the revisionist movement.” That was 25 years ago. That’s the way it’s been all this time. What I am doing personally to…

It’s the first week in December and the fallout from the Campus Project is cascading down all around me. Who was the little guy who used to worry that the sky might fall? There is so much media from campus and off-campus that I have to admit I am unable to stay on top of…

If you contributed to CODOH or Smith’s Report before 30 August 19%, and have not contributed since, your time has come You’re help is appreciated, and will be used as productively as possible. The last issue of Smith’s Report (#47) reported, prematurely and incorrectly, that Robert Faurisson was fined “over $4,000 for violating France’s Fabius-Gayssot…

As fate would have it, Hadassah Rosensaft (formerly Ada Bimko), a founder of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, died in New York City on October 3, shortly before the previous issue of SR exposed her role as a postwar perjurer. The news of her death at 85, however, could hardly quiet the controversy that…
