The Name of the Game?

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ October 1, 1996

Last updated on

The name of the game is names. Without an increasing number of subscribers to Smith’s Report, many of whom become contributors as well, I’m a dead duck.

I want to thank those of you who responded to my last request for names by sending me several good lists over the summer. I’m beginning to get a trickle of names from CODOHWeb, but the best source for names remain you who subscribe to SR. Please focus on what might seem to you a peripheral matter but which is at the heart of my staying alive here. In all likelihood you know people who would be interested in looking at a sample copy of this Report. You may know a lot of people who would like to see at least one issue.

I have reprinted, again, my article titled “The Holocaust Controversy: The Case for Open Debate” as a leaflet. It is the most widely read revisionist essay ever published. This new printing contains our new address for CODOHWeb, along with an offer to send the reader a copy of Smith’s Report. I ship this 8-panel leaflet at cost: 10 copies for $2. 50 copies for $5. 100 or more copies for $10 (all postpaid). This is a formidable, productive essay, and has drawn many people to Smith’s Report and to revisionism.

For a contribution $35, I can send you a spiral-bound print-out of Roger Garaudy’s The Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, the book which caused an uproar in France by confronting Zionism and the Jewish holocaust story head-on. 122 pages, including the open letter from Abbe Pierre to Garaudy of 15 April 96.

For the first time I am making available a print-out of the full Contents of CODOHWeb. It lists all the articles and essays posted on the World Wide Web and available as printouts on 8 1/2×11 paper. The pages include: Gas Chambers and Gas Vans (17 articles); War Crimes Trials, German & Japanese (14 articles); Codoh International: A Multilingual Resource (70 articles and books in Dansk, Deutsch, Espanol, Francais, Italiano and Portuguese), — and much more. 34 pages.

Your contribution is very much appreciated.

  • 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.

  • The Challenge to Revisionism

    With the launch of a new historical journal, one devoted specifically to inconvenient history, history that challenges and at times may make us uncomfortable, we must look back at that first generation of self-named revisionist historians and their intellectual victories and challenges. Although the case has been made that revisionist history is as old as…
