Friend:
Here is the latest on what’s happening with the Campus Internet Project, the CODOH Website, a first look at the Simon Wiesenthal Center debate(!) with revisionist theory on its own Website, and the David Irving’s talk in Seattle.
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 closer inquiry, we concluded that this referred to Castle Hill’s German language material. Although not illegal in the US., Stripe requires…
With the dawning of a new century, Holocaust revisionism is making headlines everywhere. Around the globe there is real ferment, a new surge of media attention on Holocaust skepticism, and growing criticism of the oppressive impact of the powerful “Holocaust industry.” “Holocaust deniers” are, of course, still widely portrayed as misguided or malevolent. But we…

This issue of The Journal, the forty-first since publication was begun in 1980, opens Volume II with a long-sought contribution: Pulitzer-Prize winning historian John Toland's autobiographical remarks to IHR's Tenth Conference at Washington, D.C. last fall. IHR had sought out the best-selling author as a speaker for several years after the appearance of his Infamy:…
I didn’t know Charlie Kirk. I never watched, let alone attended any of his podcasts or debates, and I have not read a single piece of his writings. In fact, until a few days ago, I didn’t even know his name. As far as I could figure out, he did not use his right to…
