The Revisionist

The Journal for Open-Minded and Curious Thinkers

The Revisionist first appeared in late 1999, published by Bradley R. Smith. It was meant to primarily further the Campus Project by having an easy-to-read, slender magazine with brief papers and op-eds on issues surrounding the orthodox Holocaust narrative and its revision. The project lost inertia in 2002. To the temporary rescue came German revisionist scholar, author, editor and publisher Germar Rudolf, who between early 2003 and early 2005 edited and published 9 more issues, but this time also including many long, well-researched papers on the 120 pages of each letter size softcover issue. While Rudolf was working on the second issue of the year 2005, he was arrested by the U.S. authorities and subsequently deport to Germany (see his website for more info). Hence The Revisionist suddenly ceased to exist. It was later replaced by the extant online journal Inconvenient History

While the first, CODOH series of The Revisionist was merely numbered consecutively from one to thirteen, the later series was organized by 4 issues per yearly volume.

  • The Force of Holocaust Reactionaries

    A libel suit filed by the British historian David Irving against the American Jewish religious instructor Deborah Lipstadt is playing itself out in a London courtroom.

  • They'd Rather Fight Than Switch

    The Nazi War on Cancer, Robert N. Proctor, Princeton UP, 1999 If I were to describe a society that was obsessed with carcinogens, which was militantly anti-smoking, which extolled the “organic” in everything from food to shampoos, that emphasized exercise and body culture and a “back to nature” ethos, you'd probably think that I had…

  • Did Columbus Discover America?

    There are two types of knowledge in a society. The commonly accepted and the arcane and unproved. Everybody knows that 2+2=4. That's common knowledge. In the 1400's, everyone knew that too. But there was other knowledge, rarer, not as widely known, contradicting the popular wisdom, and not yet demonstrated. Copernicus did not “discover” that the…

  • The Guilt of David Irving

    As many revisionists expected, the British historian David Irving failed in his libel suit against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt. In his complaint, Irving had accused Lipstadt of libeling him in her book, Denying the Holocaust in which she characterized Irving as a “Hitler apologist” who distorted, manipulated, and falsified documents, as an anti-Semite who…

  • A Tale of Two Ads

    On February 3rd the Zionist Organization of America announced that it was mobilizing a number of prominent Jews, including Elie Wiesel, to run full page advertisements in American newspapers condemning the Syrian newspaper which had accused Israel of manipulating the Holocaust for political purposes. The Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) wishes these…

  • Holocaust Holiday Proposed in Britain.

    A team of government ministers and Jewish community leaders recommended in October that the British government designate a national “Holocaust Remembrance Day” to be celebrated on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp. The purpose of such a memorial — it said — would be to prevent such a thing from being forgotten…
