New Address. Names. Clippings. Mea Culpa-Again!

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ July 1, 1997

Last updated on

THE NEW ADDRESS: This [upcoming—Ed.] September issue of SR (remember, there is no August issue) will run our new postal address, and my new telephone and fax numbers. Don’t worry about losing contact. The Post Office will forward my mail for 12 months. The USPO did a perfectly good job with forwarding when I moved from Hollywood to Visalia eight years ago. The e-mail address for CODOHWeb will not change, no matter where I move.

NAMES: They’re still the name of the game. If you know someone you think would be interested in receiving a free copy of Smith’s Report and my essay, “The Holocaust Controversy& The Case for Open Debate,” please send me his or her name. Every new subscriber is important, even if it’s only one.

CLIPPINGS: Please continue to send relevant press clippings I am unlikely to see in my daily round. Don’t think the other person will do it. He won’t do it.

MEA CULPA-AGAIN!: In SR 44 I wrote that I was almost out of the woods with shipping materials in exchange for contributions you have sent. That was six weeks ago. I’m behind again. This month I have the I’m-moving-the-family-and-the-office-to-Mexico-excuse. Please bear with me a couple more weeks.

A SPECIAL THANKS to those of you who have helped me this last month with especially generous contributions to get me through this relocation. I could not have done it without your help. Literally! I could not have done it. Once I’m in Mexico and have my office set up I will contact each of you. Thanks again.

Bradley

[Your contribution helps sustain CODOH and CODOHWeb and our growing audience, which stretches from occupied Berlin to occupied East Jerusalem. I can do it with you, but how can I do it without you?]

  • 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.

According to the latest info, the subject heading “Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)–Errors, inventions, etc.” has been removed from the subject authority file.

Holocaust Denial and Anti-Semitism

The terms “Holocaust denial” and “anti-Semitism” are hopelessly bound together in the public consciousness.
