    In last issue’s “Revisionism Rampant ‘round the Globe,” which we aim to make a periodical update on what revisionist individuals and groups are accomplishing and enduring worldwide, we stated that the Verlag der Freunde, a Berlin-based outfit, published Nazi materials, including an SS song book.

  • Faurisson Trial Suspended

    Yet another in the interminable round of prosecutions of Professor Robert Faurisson was suddenly halted on November 15 when Faurisson and his attorney, Eric Delcroix, challenged the constitutionality of France's repressive Loi Gayssot, which makes it a crime to dispute the historicity of the Nazi Holocaust.

    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.

  • German Court Orders Book Burned; 100 Intellectuals Protest

    “Former communist Roger Garaudy converts to revisionism” [L'ancien communiste Roger Garaudy se convertit au révisonnisme].

More than just a…

  • It’s a new Germany!

    I heard of the arrest of Hans Schmidt in an early morning telephone call from Dr. Miroslav Dragan.

It makes one realize that accurate information and communication is vital in this sort of thing. In…

  • Hans Schmidt in Jail

    Schmidt, founder of the German American Political Action Committee (GANPAC), is in the slammer in Schwerin, Germany.

  • A Legal Inquiry Continues

    Following Hans Schmidt’s arrest in Germany for having committed a thought crime, Andrew Allen is pressing the German consulate for a position statement regarding which revisionist materials Americans can carry to Germany without the threat of being arrested. The consulate is referring us to Bonn. See the letter of Herr Harmel below. Once the German…

  • Poetic Justice (Bernard Lewis)

    Bernard Lewis, Professor of Oriental studies at Princeton University, has been nailed by a French court for denying the “genocide” of—the Armenians.
