William
Curry
Nebraska businessman
As a wealthy businessman, C. initially
financed the US 'Committee for Open Debate of the Holocaust'
(CODOH) 
which was founded to encourage intellectual freedom with respect to the Holocaust.
In addition, C. spread his views on the 'Holocaust' by purchasing ad space in student
newspapers, sponsoring debates, writing letters to the editor and sending direct mail.
In
a 1982 Senate campaign, C. mailed an article to thousands of residents of the 40th legislative district of Nebraska,
designating one of the candidates as a Zionist. In November 1986, C. attempted to purchase space for a full-page ad
contesting the Nazi extermination of six million Jews in the Daily Nebraskan, the University of Nebraska's student newspaper. The paper refused to run the ad.
C. also offered $5,000 to the university to pay for a speaker who would debate Holocaust
revisionist theory at an academic Holocaust conference that the university had
planned - without success. C. published his views on Israel and the 'Holocaust'
by letters to the Omaha World-Herald, the Jackson (Miss.) Daily News, the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal-Star, and the New York Daily
News.
C. who knew both Ernst Zündel and Mark Weber, strongly encouraged the
latter's participation in the Zündel trials 1985 and 1988 and was instrumental in arranging
their first meeting in Toronto on March 3, 1985.
