Spiegelmice at Berkeley

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ September 1, 1995

Last updated on

“…faculty members at the University of California at Berkeley have sent incoming freshmen a list of 10 suggested books they might dip into this summer.
“The Eclectic list—defended by organizers as an attempt to get students to think as they enter the world of serious scholarship—was assailed as manipulation to enforce political correctness and extremist multiculturalism.”

One of the ten books is “two” books: Maus: A Survivor’s Tale and Maus II: A Survivor’s Tale and Here My troubles Began by Art Spiegelman. The Holocaust done as a comic strip, with the Nazis as cats and the Jews as mice—and the Poles as pigs, an innocent Spiegelman touch that has not received the press it should have.

Berkeley is where historian David Irving has been prohibited from speaking TWICE on revisionist theory by liberal/communist rioters. Spiegelman Yes! Irving No!

  • 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.
