Lines: 57 Message-ID:NNTP-Posting-Host: clmx38.dial.voyager.net Xref: news.txdirect.net alt.revisionism:118369 I stumbled across _Smith's Report #42_ the other day. http://www.codoh.com/report/sr42.html In this Report, Mr. Bradley Smith reprints email communications from private mailing lists. He says that these emails, "obtained" by persons unknown, are evidence of how the ADL views his organization: They're saying as little as possible in public, they're ashamed of what they're about, but electronic mail communications obtained by CODOH confirm that the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel are doing what they can, under the table, to stop CODOH advertisements from running in student newspapers across America. It's clear they're worried--worried that these simple, inexpensive ads announce our World Wide Web address; worried that the ads encourage students--and faculty--to access CODOHWeb directly, to read and judge the evidence for revisionist theory themselves. On February 25, the following message went out to Hillel headquarters: From: Ari Hoffnung To: Hillel-public-policy@offer-ent.com Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 10:16:41 -0400 Subject: Holocaust Revisionist [contents of email snipped -JRM] On March 7, in a somewhat more breathless communique (for the Campus Project had begun to roll with ads running on campuses in half a dozen states), Luisa Ellenbogen, Assistant Director of Campus Affairs for the Anti-Defamation League, passed along, to campus Hillel offices across the country, the dread news that CODOH was calling for intellectual freedom on the Holocaust story, and worse, alerting readers to our high-tech center on the World Wide Web. ADL's campus director told the Hillel rabbis and officers what to do: To: hillel@offer-ent.com, hillel-public-policy@offer-ent.com, hillel-women@offer-ent.com, hillel-grad@offer-ent.com, hillel-jcsc@offer-ent.com Date: Fri, 7 Mar 1997 Subject: Holocaust Denial Advertisements: Important Information From The Anti-Defamation League. [again, contents of email snipped -JRM] It now appears that CODOH is saying that it is fair and legitimate to publicize email obtained from private (or ostensibly private) mailing lists. I trust that there will be no complaints from the direction of CODOH if, for example, Nizkor chooses to do the same.
