Lewis Brandon, Director of IHR, to Friends of IHR, n.d. (apparently from winter 1980). “Brandon” was so obsessed with the power of the “Zionists” that he claimed that the symbols on grocery products denoting that they were kosher indicated that the company had “paid a Zionist to ‘bless’ the product.” IHR Newsletter (Feb. 15, 1981), p. 3.

Drew Pearson, April 17, 1969, cited in Charles Bermant, “The Private World of Willis Carto,” The Investigator, Oct. 1981, p. 25. This memo by Carto was found by a Liberty Lobby staffer who turned it over to the investigative journalist, Drew Pearson. Carto’s associates claim that the memoir was a fraud and the boxes in which it and other material was found were broken into by a thief paid by Pearson. What this argument fails to address is why, if the memo was a forgery, Carto was keeping it in his personal files.

This was one of the unspoken objectives of the contemporary German historians’ debate. Ernst Nolte has written that all the great powers have had “their own Hitler periods.” Josef Joffe, “The Battle of the Historians,” Encounter (June 1987), p. 73. For further information on Nolte’s and other German historians’ relativism and its connection with denial see chapter 11.
