". . . After reading your article on students in high school and the wailing they produce when hearing stories of the holocaust which do not conform to their already conditioned beliefs, I become depressed.
It seems . . . we are downplayed as unthinking and a part of the general sheeple. True there are those who would just as soon let their lives go to hell as long as they have their car, but there are many more of us who still possess the cognitive ability to think.
If you haven't guessed by now, I too am a high school student, however my brain is not as deteriorated by liberal lies and Jewish rulings as others. In your article you neglect to mention that there are, in fact, high school students with open minds. You just have to be looking for them.
I think you should publish the following fact (for) your followers: we are not all alike, and in fact, there are many who disagree with the claims of the holocaust. The following is a small story of how I became involved in the holocaust hoax, and how I became "aware". Do with this as you see fit.
It was my sophomore year in high school and I was under the influence of a Jewish history teacher named Alan Kay. During the year he did mention once or twice that there were organisations and people who do not believe the holocaust existed.
Since he only mentioned it briefly and gave us strict guidance not to believe what they say, I took it with a grain of salt. It was not, however, till the end of the year when he passed out a newsletter from the ADL.
I do not remember which one it was exactly; however, I do remember it gave mention (of) Arthur Butz. If I remember correctly, there was a picture of the front cover of his book, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, on there.
I annotated, on the leaflet, my views. There was a quote from Butz speaking of how he first became involved in the Holocaust myth. I wrote to the side of the paper that it sounded like a normal man suddenly made aware of truth. I wrote several other things, not directly offensive to Jews, but that would give me the title of "holocaust denier".
Good 'ol Kay saw me writing on his paper and asked to read what I had written. I gave no objection and let him. The expression on his face was not all like I had expected... it was a sort of smirk.
I tossed the letter in my book bag and gave it no more attention.
A few days later a verbal battle broke out amongst the teachers.
As it turns out, my philosophy teacher, Dr. Douglas Yarbrough, had the same views as Butz and other Revisionist writers, and when he heard of Kay's letter, he began some propaganda for himself.
He told all his classes that the holocaust did not happen - that 6,000,000 were not killed.
Alan exploded and the next day brought with him letters and other Kosher paraphernalia which attempted to "prove" the holocaust existed. I do not know any more of the battle aside from Dr. Yarbrough's staunch and unyielding views and the Jew which weeped in despair as memories of the holocaust were brought back to his mind.
After this incident I decided to resurrect the old ADL newsletter and look at it once again. I also decided to take action on a problem with the letter that I noticed before: there was no refutation, no rebuttal of the viewpoints of the revisionists, simply the statement that they existed and that they were dead wrong (not to mention anti-semitic).
I went to the Barnes and Noble later that day and asked the assistant at the store if he could find for me The Hoax of the Twentieth Century by Arthur R. Butz, the book which was mentioned in the ADL's newsletter (it was not until later that I found out that the assistant himself is Jewish. Now I have a lot of fun with him. "Say, can you find me, Did Six Million Really Die?, or what about the book Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler?").
He was not aloud (sic) to order me the book, however he did give me the address and telephone number of the Institute for Historical Review, and things took off from there.
Now I have many conversations with my friends about the Jews. There is a group of around 10 of us who talk all the time of the holocaust, of international bankers, of Eustus Mullins [sic] and other revisionists, and even of Dr. William L. Pierce.
What's funny about the latter is we are not even all White - two or three are Indians . . .! The point is, we are out here, and there are more of us than you think."
