We have only begun a sustained promotional campaign with the press over the last couple weeks. Nevertheless that, together with word of mouth, has brought about a steady increase in the number of log-ons (visits) to the site. Here are the numbers to date:
November
988 visits
December
1,744 visits
January
2,518 visits
That’s the kind of progress we have made while we were working just to set up the site, ignoring most of the promotional tools available to us.
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.

As you have probably guessed, what with my videotaping interviews with Hans Schmidt and Charles Provan, I've finally invested in a video camera. Before, I could never justify the expense. Anyone can start shooting interviews and public events. The problem isn't in accumulating revisionist film, but having a way to distribute it that can pay…
Professor Faurisson's letter caused me to reflect again on how advertising, or any other piece of writing, is read from many different perspectives and understood in many different ways. And not only among revisionists either. The original advertising for our videotape, which we sent exclusively to people in the revisionist community, ballyhooed the video in…
“What arguments can I find by Maimonedes and Rabbi Elezar ben Shamoua to oppose Zündel?” A cartoon in the French weekly Rivarol (Feb. 2, 1996) pokes fun at Jewish frustration over the remarkable Internet impact of revisionists such as German-Canadian Ernst Zündel. Through his personal Internet Web site, Journal associate editor Greg Raven makes available…
In January I received an email message from a Pierce College (Tacoma WA) student who had found the CODOH Website on the Internet. He wanted to help. I submitted an ad announcing that 46 Unanswered Questions About the World War II Gas Chambers are available free on the Internet to the Pierce College Pioneer. The…
For much of the past decade, the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust has made America’s colleges and universities the chief target of its campaign to open minds to the case for Holocaust revisionism. We have run advertisements at more than two hundred campus newspapers; more than a million students, faculty and other staff…
