The United Nations Holocaust Outreach Program
Distorted to Prevent Open Debate on the Holocaust
NOTE: We copy this letter to you with the hope that you will want to write to Mr. La Rue or any of the UNESCO officers
yourself. If you do write, please copy to bsmith@prodigy.net.mx
Mr. Frank La Rue Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression Palais des Nations CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland freedex@ohchr.org Date
.... Esteemed Sir: I am writing to you relating to your charge under HRC resolution 7/36, specifically as it relates to discrimination against persons seeking to exercise or to promote the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and
expression, including, as a matter of high priority, against journalists or other professionals in the field of
information. I am writing to you because
Mr Bradley Reed Smith, PO Box 439016, San Ysidro CA 92143, asked to attend the United Nations sponsored Conference on Anti-Semitism and Holocaust
Denial, which took place at Trinity College Ireland on November 18th and 19th. Since
he is a Revisionist, he wanted to hear what was being said about people like him, particularly in light of the fact that expressing Revisionist views is a felony in many
countries. In the
event, he was denied permission to attend the Conference. Other Revisionists were refused attendance as well. The
story is told
here. Since Revisionist views are usually distorted, he only wished to attend and report on the
proceedings. Briefly,
he believes that much of the history that we are taught today has been influenced by
Soviet, British and American wartime propaganda, which exaggerated and exploited real tragedies for propaganda
purposes. This concerns not just Jews but Slavs, Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses and, in some
versions, Gays. It can be argued that he has produced considerable research that supports this point of
view. It is inconceivable to me that he, or anyone, should be threatened with prison for stating in public that
he doubts aspects of "official" history. While I understand that you have very serious matters to
investigate, many scholars have been imprisoned for being Revisionists. It is particularly offensive that the United Nations Holocaust outreach program has been distorted to suppress discussion of the Holocaust. I respectfully ask that you investigate this matter. Thank you for your
attention, Name....
