“No subject enrages the Thought Police on campus more than Holocaust revisionism. Students are encouraged to debate every other great historical question as a matter of course, but influential pressure groups with private agendas have made the Jewish Holocaust story and exception. I believe students should be encouraged to investigate the Holocaust controversy the same way they are encouraged to investigate every other historical controversy. This isn't a radical point of view. The premises for it were worked out a while back during a little something called the Enlightenment.”
Bradley R. Smith, Break His Bones: The Private Life of a Holocaust Revisionist, p. 99
Starting in the late 1980's, Bradley Smith began a campaign to publish advertisements in college newspapers. The intention was to foster open debate on the Holocaust story throughout the country. What follows is a partial list of those advertisements, reactions to them by students, professors, pressure groups and the media, as well as additional information which has been collected over the years. A few of the ads offered financial compensation for promoting the controversy in a national forum. The terms of these ads have expired and are presented here for historical and research purposes only.
What became known as the “Campus Campaign” was discussed in some detail, albeit a very biased account, in a chapter entitled “The Battle for the Campus” in Deborah Lipstadt's highly subjective book Denying the Holocaust. While Smith argued directly for intellectual freedom and open debate on campus, Lipstadt, a professor, took the opposing view — that ideas, especially dissident ideas regarding the Holocaust story, were not worthy of discussion in America's colleges and universities.

Friend: (Yes, there was no Smith’s Report in February. I expect the benefits of this lapse in scheduling to become substantially evident in the April issue of SR.) The Campus Project has its ducks all in a row. The first ads are running in student newspapers. Students are flyering at two campuses where the ad…

CODOH’s latest campus campaign, spearheaded by the reward offered for showing David Cole’s video on Auschwitz on a national TV network in prime time, has been the most successful first quarter thrust in the Campus Project’s eight-year history. Besides resulting in a record number of college and university newspaper ads, it has brought Holocaust revisionism…

Listening to Bennett, I gave myself a pat on the back. In November I'd mailed a review copy of our video, “David Cole Interviews Dr. Franciszek Piper,” to the editors of 460 college newspapers. Not to those we've sent stuff to before, but 460 editors who have never before received anything whatever from CODOH. A…

Last month’s issue of Smith’s Report underlined the importance of CODOH's recent volunteers in carrying out the ongoing Campus Project: inserting small, simple, devilish ads that challenge the Thought Police and point university newspaper readers—virtually all of whom have easy access to the Internet—directly to CODOH’s revisionist Website, CODOHWeb, where they find a cornucopia of…

Following is the text of an ad that I would like to run in campus newspapers. It can be formatted into twelve column inches – two columns by six inches deep. It can be formatted into any size larger than that, but not smaller. If the ad is run, it would probably create substantial possibilities…

Friend: Northwestern University The Northwestern Project is running like clockwork, just about like I predicted (see: Smith's Report #2 & #3). The CODOH Open Debate announcement has appeared in the Daily Northwestern once each week on Thursday since 11 January. During January after the Daily and the NW Review published a couple letters from me…

Friend: First, I want to thank those of you who contributed to my purchase of a fax machine. I now have a Sharp UX 192 installed at my work station. Within days I will begin to use it. It's going to be a great help, and it's going to produce many media contacts that until…
