“Smith illustrates the dimensions of the taboo surrounding orthodox Holocaust claims in carefully detailed accounts of his everyday encounters with others: a Jewish student returning home from Harvard on summer vacation; the new husband of his ex-wife; an elderly survivor on a radio talk show; Irv Rubin of the Jewish Defense League—even with his own mother. Smith’s repugnance at being labeled anti-Jewish is the greatest hurdle he has to overcome in his efforts to write honestly about the Holocaust. He tells of his growing awareness of how the Holocaust lobby manipulates charges of anti-Jewishness to discourage open inquiry into the extermination thesis, and to compromise the reputations of those who persist in it.”
