Archive/File: pub/people/wikoff.jack wikoff.001 Last-Modified: 1994/07/04 "Jack Wikoff, 45, a self-proclaimed white separatist from Aurora, New York, and frequent contributor of book reviews to the _Journal of Historical Review_, began his own anti-Semitic 'revisionist' periodical, _Remarks_, in August 1990. The first issue, ostensibly commenting on issues such as German reunification, the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, and the resurgence of 'nationalist' politics in Europe, established a theme the publication has expounded upon ever since: 'Taludic Jewry is at war with humanity. Revolutionary communism and International Zionism are twin forces working toward the same goal: a despotic world government with the capital in Jerusalem.' Fellow 'revisionist' Bradley Smith commented favorably on the journal in a letter printed in its second issue. He wrote, 'Congratulations. You're entering the fray step by step in a [sic] orderly, sensible way, a way that you can build on. You're a good writer, understand the value of brevity, and you read the literature.' Later issues have reprinted cartoons from _The Spotlight_ and from a gutter-level magazine titled _Jew Watch_, published by the Texas Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and have featured guest editorials on subjects ranging from a comparison of Hitler's economic policies with Roosevelt's ('...in their missions in this regard, Hitler was a huge success and Roosevelt, in spite of his New Deal, was a failure.'), to an endorsement of David Duke's failed 1991 campaign to become governor of Louisiana. The Holocaust, however, remains the dominant theme of Wikoff's articles and those of his contributors. One such feature, by Paul Grubach, a biology graduate student who has also written for the _Journal of Historical Review_ and the Holocaust-denying _Christian News_, was titled 'The Holocaust - A Life-Threatening Doctrine: Revisionism, Now More Than Ever!' In it, Grubach suggested that Israel and the Holocaust were the only factors which brought American troops to the Persian Gulf War: 'The Holocaust doctrine has been used...to promote war policies which culminate in the loss of life. In this sense, it is a REAL threat to human life... Even if by chance the Holocaust doctrine is true - why should Americans have to shed their blood for Jews in Israel? Let the Israeli Jews tend to their own problems.' The ninth edition of _Remarks_ included a flyer appealing to supporters for donations. In the flyer, Wikoff ascribed his difficulties in finding a printer for the magazine to 'pressure from the local Jewish community.' (ADL, 26) Work Cited ADL.
