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.

The worst attacks Holocaust revisionism has ever suffered always came from within: The in-fighting between the Institute for Historical Review and Willis Carto (the founder and main financier of the IHR) starting in the mid-1993. This had been triggered by a 7+million-dollar bequest of the Farrel Estate to the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc. (the IHR’s umbrella organization). The resulting legal battle squandered these millions mostly with legal fees, and destroyed the IHR as a viable organization. Next came the extortion attempts by Michael Santomauro in late 2023/early 2024, who, as a board member of CODOH, gained control of almost all of CODOH’s essential assets, and then abused that “leverage” to blackmail CODOH for huge sums of money.
