$50,000 Auschwitz Reward Unclaimed; "Gas Chambers" Myth Continues to Crumble (IHR Special Report)

Torrance, California: Institute for Historical Review, [1983]. A special report from the Institute for Historical Review on their provocative publicity campaign, which began in 1979 when they offered $50,000 to anyone who could prove that Jews were gassed during the Holocaust. In a long update, IHR director Keith Stimely profiles some of the unsuccessful claimants who either failed to provide irrefutable proof or, like Simon Wiesenthal, refused to accept the IHR’s terms. Stimely mentions the case brought against the IHR by “‘Professional survivor’” Mel Mermelstein who sued the IHR in 1981. Mermelstein ultimately prevailed and was awarded a $90,000 settlement in 1985. He and the IHR sued and countersued each other throughout most of the 1980s and into the 1990s. Also included is a long unsigned article, “The Crumbling of a Myth,” on the current state of revisionism, as well as “A Worldwide Bibliography of ‘Holocaust’ Revisionism.”
