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.

Again, as repeatedly stated in SR #17 and later, we know that we should let sleeping dogs lie and not open up old wounds. If I had a chance, I wouldn't publish the following article. But we are in the business of posting the contents of all issues of Smith's Report for historical and archival…

True and Important The “Holocaust” story is both true and important. However — The part that's true (Jewish suffering during WW II) isn't important (millions more suffered, many suffered more); The part that's important (mass genocide in “gas chambers”) isn't true. — H.N. (W. D.C.) Needed: More Libertarians I wish we could reach more libertarians…

My friend Ernst Zuendel has asked me to run an ad in Smith's Report announcing “The REVISIONIST NETWORK,” together with a schedule of his radio and cable television programs that air across much of the United States. He wants to run the ad in all revisionist publications. He writes that Remarks and The Journal for…

The Power of Prayer! Pope John Paul II prayed for the 4 million dead at Auschwitz and — presto! CODOH has mapped out a whole itinerary for the Holy Father. The ADL admittedly published its booklet, Holocaust Denial [sic], A Pocket Guide, as a response to CODOH's Campus Project. The booklet is in three parts:…

The Joe Bob Report (PO Box 2002, Dallas TX 75221, $3 for a sample copy), a newsletter dedicated to the conservation of a threatened American cultural institution, the drive-in movie theater, ran an interesting article about the high school kids in Oakland who were taken to see Schindler's List and laughed at all the wrong…

There's no stopping me and CODOH. In issue 19 of SR I revealed to the public the newly formed, insidious and dangerous Zhirinovsky / Smith Axis. Z and I may well do what the might of the entire Nazi Empire failed to do — conquer Russia. The cat's out of the bag on this one…

Bending elbows to celebrate 50 outrageously successful years of Auschwitz propaganda. I had hoped, I had planned, to help celebrate these momentous days and weeks of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the German concentration camps by the Allied armies at the close of WW II. We fully expected to have, and are very…

On the morning of 10 January I received a call from the producer of The Patrick Halpin Show talk show in NY C asking if I could recommend someone who could appear in-studio to discuss the Holocaust controversy. The show would send a car and driver to pick up whoever I gave them. An easy…

Miami Herald, 11 Dec 94: “Sanford L. Ziff, 69, is the self-made millionaire — the founder of Sunglass Hut — who considers himself the driving force behind Holocaust education at the University of Miami. How he did it: By dangling a $2 million donation over the university's head.” Spiegelmaus makes himself seen and heard at…

Toward the end of June I received a telephone call from a man identifying himself as Executive Producer for W.A.L.E.-AM in Providence RI. He introduced himself as Musa Kalimullah and asked if I would be interested hosting my own radio talk show on W.A.L.E. He wasn't offering me a job, but wanted to sell me…
