Correspondence. Correction

By Bradley R. Smith, Richard A. Widmann ∙ November 1, 1996

Last updated on

Correspondence. I have a pile of correspondence to attend to that's about a foot high. The truth of the matter is that, while I want to hear from you, and while I read every letter that crosses my desk, I am unable to answer your letters unless they pertain to business of the utmost importance which has to be taken care of immediately. I apologize for this rudeness, but the volume of paperwork that crosses my desk is beyond my abilities to take care of it. Maybe one day I will have one full-time employee. Maybe one day I will have an office.

Correction. In your “Revisionism to the World!” section in Smith's Report No. 36 (October 1996), you list “Auch Holocaust-Luegen haben kurze Beine” by Prof. Dr. Ernst Nolte. Actually, the article is entitled, “Prof. Dr. Ernst Nolte: Auch Holocaust-Luegen haben kurze Beine.” by Manfred Koehler (alias Germar Rudolf). The article is Rudolfs “Erwiderung” or “reply” to Nolte.

  • Bradley R. Smith

    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.

  • Richard A. Widmann

    Richard A. Widmann, together with David Thomas, created modern CODOH as we know it, when he talked Bradley Smith into creating what was then called CODOHWeb, CODOH's online presence in 1995/1996. In 1999, Richard Widmann was among the team that launched and ran the revisionist periodical The Revisionist, until it was taken over by Germar Rudolf in 2003. When this project collapsed in 2005 with Rudolf's arrest, deportation and 44-months imprisonment, Richard Widmann, after some hesitation, created a new revisionist periodical in 2009 called Inconvenient History, which he issued until 2017, when this project, too, was once more taken over by Germar Rudolf.

    Because CODOHWeb is publishing new revisionist scholarship, Smith’s Report is in the enviable position of being able to announce new revisionist work to its readers long before they will have heard of it from other quarters.
