27 Introduction & Editorial Notes (Holocaust: IHR)
"If antisemitism has a core, factual meaning, it was demonstrated
here." Thus did Judge Bork, in 1984, dismiss the suit brought by
Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby against 'The Wall Street Journal' for
having called it "anti-Semitic."
The Coalition for Human Dignity describes the Institute for
Historical Review as "... a pseudo-academic think tank dedicated to
disproving that the Holocaust happened. Founded by the dean of
American anti-Semites Willis Carto, IHR functions as a clearinghouse
for Holocaust denial and a meeting ground for anti-Semitic scholars
in the United States." (CHD, "Denial")
This document is presented as part of a continuing effort to provide
those confronting the IHR's propaganda machine with a research tool
to help them understand the nature of the organization, its
associations and some of the principal players. It was compiled and
edited with the help of lots of concerned folks on the network; without
their assistance it probably could not have been produced. (Several
sections within this document are incomplete, and have been marked
[Work in progress] - with luck, those sections will have been completed
within the next month or so.) In particular, I would like to acknowledge
Richard Hatch's PAC contribution, which was invaluable.
