The Last Word

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ January 1, 2010

Last updated on

Several of you have asked why, in my Christmas letter last month , there were photos of Irene and me, photos of the three grandchildren, but no photos of the parents of the grand kids. The answer is that our own kids have real lives and no need of being easily identifiable by those employed at Holocaust Inc.

This issue of SR is a bit late. Apologies. No one specific reason. I’ll blame it on the holidays, as I do every year at this time. By the time this issue is in the mail to you I will already be working on the February issue. In fact I already have interesting articles by Thomas Kues, N. Joseph Potts, and one on the way by a CODOH editor.

I’m going to ramp up the YouTube program this month with a special emphasis on the campus. Did the first one of the New Year last week on a lesson I learned from Michael Savage, a gentlemanly talk show host who you have probably heard of. This is an example of how the origin of inspiration is not guaranteed.

When I have enough of these tiny films—the last one treating with an anecdote from Savage is seven minutes, most are less—we will put them on a DVD for those of you who are not online and would like to be able to follow what I am doing with YouTube.

Thank you for your support. Your contribution is what forwards this work. I could never have done it without your help. All these years. I cannot do it now without your help. Thank you.

Bradley

  • 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.

    Three young men, students at colleges in Ohio and Pennsylvania, drove down to Baja the other day to say hello.

  • From the Editor

    There are different kinds of revisionism, and different sorts of revisionists. That’s no news to veteran revisionists. In fact, the diversity of opinion among revisionists has been far more troubling to the wardens of opinion on the Holocaust and other historical taboos than to the revisionist movement. Ernst Zündel’s association with Jews such as Josef…
