TRANSLATORS—About 18 months ago I asked SR readers for volunteers to help us translate documents into Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Polish, Russian—or any other languages. All work done would be published on the Internet, on our World Wide Web site, and become part of a permanent, multi-lingual library of documents relating to revisionist theory.

I was happily surprised by the strong response I received. As those of you who volunteered then know now, I was unable to keep up with the volume of organizational work that had to be done. The translation project faltered. Now I am issuing a new call for translators. This time we have a managing editor for the project who will be able to keep things on track. If you have the necessary skills to translate documents from English into any foreign language and would like to help introduce revisionist theory and some of the work of CODOH to people around the world, please write or fax, or contact me.

PRESS CLIPPINGS—Please keep in mind my need for press clippings on revisionism and the Campus Project. Now that we have stories developing in places as far afield as Georgia, upstate New York, Wisconsin, California, Louisiana and so on, you might find a story almost anywhere, including the Jewish press.

  • 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.

    One of the great advantages of running a World Wide Web site is the ease and minimal cost of publishing. CODOHWeb has gained an international reputation not only for our republishing of classic revisionist texts like Fritz Berg's “Diesel Gas Chambers: Myth within a Myth” and the banned-in-Germany anthology, Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte (Foundations of Contemporary…

    This issue of Smith’s Report is the fiftieth I’ve published since the first one in the spring of 1990. Fully a third of those issues have appeared in the last two years.

  • A Note From The Editor

    With the recent (second) fire-bombing of the IHR offices, one could say that this – our first 128 page Journal of Historical Review – has been launched with a real bang! Our gain is substantial and lasting. That of the “Jewish Defenders” was but a moment of typical destructive glee. How invidious the minds must…

  • From the Editor

    Recently the New York Times made it official: Revisionism has come of age in America. American historian Deborah Lipstadt has been hired by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to study the Revisionists, of whom she fears “some of their positions could enter the mainstream.” We at the Institute for Historical Review are proud of the…

  • A Calm Political Atmosphere

    Harry Elmer Barnes famously defined “historical revisionism” when he wrote:[1] “Actually, revisionism means nothing more or less than the effort to revise the historical record in the light of a more complete collection of historical facts, a more calm political atmosphere, and a more objective attitude.” Barnes’s definition may help to explain the failure (thus…
