Nothing in this business is more important than names — names of individuals who are interested in revisionism and intellectual freedom. If you have the names and addresses of individuals you have reason to believe might want to know about Smith’s Report and read about the work we are doing, I would very much appreciate having them. It might be a list of 500 or 5,000, or it might be the names of five friends or acquaintances. Many or few, the names and addresses you send us could prove to be very helpful. Please send what names you can.
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, but keeps contributing.
Ask yourself, help those who work for the ADL ask themselves, where any of those charges are in the text of this ad. In truth, it resides only in the imaginations of those making the charges. In any event, why should any question about World War II and/or the Holocaust be considered “anti-Semitic?” The time…
As is clear from David Irving's letter (above). Nobel peace laureate Elie Wiesel has resumed his attacks on revisionists (perhaps someone showed him a copy of Smith’s Report No. 31, which exposed his hypocrisy in pressing for the rehabilitation of the German Carl von Ossietzky while ignoring the current plight of Israeli Mordechai Vanunu). Careful…
There was a time several years ago when I was a one-man band and managed the Project by myself. Over the last year it has simply outgrown that kind of management. The CODOH Web site is the most obvious example of the growth of the Project. If it were not for the volunteer work of…
The book Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials deals with the young Americans who were responsible for gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, apprehending suspects and securing convictions in trials held at Dachau conducted by the U.S. Army after WWII. This article discusses some of the mistakes and misunderstandings made by the author and the members of the 7708 War Crimes Group interviewed in this book.

While Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust hasn’t shamed any New York publisher into bringing out David Irving's (de facto) banned Goebbels just yet, CODOH's ongoing campaign against the book's suppression has begun to bring results. The most visible among them, so far, has been an astonishing column in a national magazine advocating both…
