In August I mailed queries to 20 important periodicals around the country offering the right to excerpt a section of the manuscript. Last week I received a letter from an editor at one of the really top magazines in the country saying yes, she wants to see it. She knows who I am, what I do and what I’ve done. She’s not taking a run in the dark. This sort of thing has always fallen through in the past, but that was the past. We'll have to wait and see. But if this particular magazine does print something from Bones, it will cause a sensation.
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. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.

On Sunday, November 23, 1997, The New York Post printed an article concerning the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH).

From the very first words of the report at Syracuse.com about the “odd” assignment high-school students from Oswego County high schools were given, which was to defend the so-called “ Final Solution ” in the Nazi Era, it was to be expected that there would be complaints. I also might add that this is not…
In the previous issue of SR I wrote about how, as part of the Campus Project, I had started putting together a “fax-web” connecting the campus and off campus newspaper editors who have run our ads, printed our opinion pieces, or have run comment on any of it. It was a good idea. It’s getting…
The Contemporary Issue No subject enrages campus Thought Police more than Holocaust Revisionism. We debate every other great historical issue as a matter of course, but influential pressure groups with private agendas have made the Holocaust story an exception. Elitist dogma manipulated by special interest groups corrupts everything in academia. Students should be encouraged to…
