Website note: Abraham Foxman, wealthy and controversial chief of the Anti Defamation League, likes to refer to himself as a “Holocaust survivor.” As a biography on this website shows, he was not even born when Hitler invaded his native Poland, and he was looked after by Polish Catholics throughout the war; his parents also “survived”.
Author, “Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism,” foreword by Elie Wiesel ($24.95, 304 pages). |

Website note: Al Gore (protégé of Armand Hammer) said in a speech to the ADL on May 9, 2000: “We all applaud the verdict of the court in Britain against a falsifier of history, who claimed that the gas chambers of Auschwitz were fakes built as a tourist attraction, and then tried to put history itself on trial and give comfort to those who cloak themselves in hatred and denial. Thank God for the wisdom and the law on the side of the court which struck down that obscene set of claims by that awful falsifier.” |

Sample Smears by the ADL
Right:
The Website of the New York-based Anti-Defamation League is currently brimming with hatred and defamation of historian David Irving. The ADL collaborates closely with the London based Board of Deputies of British Jews . There are no attempts to repeat these smears in the United Kingdom, where the laws of libel offer more effective protection against defamation than in the USA. |
A quotation that defines the “Anti-Defamation League”:
God’s chosen children: “The Holocaust is something different. It is a singular event. It is not simply one example of genocide but a near successful attempt on the life of God’s chosen children and, thus, on God Himself. It is an event that is the antithesis of Creation as recorded in the Bible; and like its direct opposite, which is relived weekly with the Sabbath and yearly with the Torah, it must be remembered from generation to generation.” Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith (New York), writing in ADL On the Frontline (January 1994, page 2)
|
S Ira Grossman of the ADL wrote to one inquirer on Sep 21, 1996 that Mr Irving’s background and “links to the Holocaust denial movement” were described in a “Q and A” published by the ADL, which might be reproduced in its entirety, or excerpted with proper credit. [The ADL logo is a registered trade mark]. ADL experts were, promised Grossman, available to provide additional information and analysis by contacting the Media Relations Department at (212) 490 2525 ext. 7747 or 7748. This gives an indication of the scale and intensity of their closely-targeted campaign of defamation.
For the convenience of our visitors, we post on this site the entire QandA published on Jun 6, 1996 by the ADL. And see below:

One Free Speech organisation disclosed in its report Blacklisted by Cyber Patrol: From Ada to Yoyo in late December 1997 that the ADL-sponsored Cyber Patrol software blocked the premier Usenet archive and search engine, Deja News. “As a result of that report and the attendant [bad] publicity, Microsystems Inc., publishers of Cyber Patrol, unblocked many of the sites we listed. However, the company stood its ground and refused to unblock Deja News.” [Source: http://www.spectacle.org/cwp/] |
