  • If you would like to read “God Bless the Hillel Rabbis,” mentioned above by a sensitive and perceptive explorer of CODOHWeb, I’ll be glad to send it along for our usual generous donation. (“God Bless. .. “ is a 3,100-word excerpt from the book manuscript I’m working on titled A Simple Writer.)
  • I want to thank those of you who have sent me new names of individuals who you believe would be interested in Smith’s Report. Keep ‘em coming! Names—the name of the game!
  • HELP! Check your records. If you have not contributed to CODOH or Smith’s Report in ten months or longer, your time is come. I balk at not continuing to send you SR every month, but sooner or later my native good sense will prevail.

Here’s hoping we will all have a good holiday season and a fine new year. Thank you for your interest, your good will, and all your help. I can do it with you; without you there’s not a chance.

  • 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.

    We are sometimes asked why we devote so much effort to the Holocaust issue. No, it’s not some bizarre obsession. We do so because, by any objective standard, “the Holocaust” has come to play a very important role in our society. The wartime fate of Europe’s Jews is treated not as another chapter of history,…

  • Moving with Movies

    A picture tells more than a thousand words, and moving pictures tell more than a million words, one might add. The power of movies – both of the fiction and non-fiction genre – to convince the gullible as well as many skeptical minds can hardly be underestimated. This is particularly true in our times of reduced…

    This fall the Western media have marked the outbreak of war in Europe fifty years ago, on September 1, 1939, in strident and self-congratulatory tones. To the press, and to the professional historical establishment, the Second World War is still the “good war,” American's and its allies' crusade against evil made manifest in the person…
