Dear Fellow Patriot!
The 2004 International Revisionist Conference in
Sacramento is the talk of America's revisionist and
Jewish community. Just two months prior, Spielberg
released Schindler's List on DVD and announces that
it is just for Holocaust deniers.
California Aggie extends the piece on revisionism and
the conference for another week. Encouraged by
conference speaker Barry Chamish, Rabbis in Sacramento
are planning to stage a weekend with Holocaust
survivors on the 24th and 25th of April.
Nevertheless, people from around the world are flying
in to be at this revisionist event.
We are proud to announce that revisionist great Hans
Schmidt will be a guest with his wife. Mr. Schmidt is
one of the giants in revisionism. Author of many
books, publisher of the GanPac Brief and USA Bericht,
Mr. Schmidt is truly one of the best. We are proud to
welcome him at the conference.
Dr. Leon Bourke from Indianapolis has also been added
to the list of prominent guests, as well as
revisionist Ted O'Keefe. You will find a list of
prominent guests at on our website hosted by
http://www.adelaideinstitute.org
According to the paid reservations made, Horst Mahler
is the biggest attraction, followed by Edgar J.
Steele, who is a champion among the white civil rights
movement, IHR Director Mark Weber, Dr. Toben and Paul
Fromm are neck to neck, generating reservations.
Bradley R. Smith has also generated quite some
interest, as well as Lady Michele Renouf.
Besides Horst Mahler, Israeli Barry Chamish will be
the most controversial speaker at the conference. His
Sacramento engagement has generated tremendous waves
in Israel media and amongst his enemies. Daniel Pipes
on his website, accused Chamish of Holocaust denial,
because of his speaking engagement at the 2004
International Revisionist Conference in Sacramento. In
the process of criticizing Chamish, Pipes' website
make big time advertising for the conference
http://www.danielpipes.org
Barry Chamish is a Jew who lives in Israel. He is
sponsored by the Adelaide Institute. Chamish is quick
to point out that he is not a Holocaust denier. In the
contrary, he alleges to have lost 80 relatives in the
Holocaust. Mr. Chamish insists that it is my
responsibility as the organizer to tell you that he is
not a believer:
[START]
Alright. You are going to get a very serious lecture
from me. Your people will like half of it. I'll
arrange the books. In any pre-conference PR, please
stress that I am coming not as a believer but to
confront the issue head on. This is very important to
me.
Barry

Barry Chamish is Israel's foremost conspiracy
theorist. His books are bestsellers and you can look
at it
http://www.barrychamish.com
Chamish's top-critics are Daniel Pipes and Grayson
Levy. Both describe the 2004 International Revisionist
Conference in Sacramento as the mother of all
revisionist conferences, Major Revisionist Conference,
Revisionist Event of the Year. Because of Chamish's
speaking engagement at the conference, critics have
labeled him a Holocaust denier. Chamish responds by
saying "I despise Holocaust denial." Despite all of
this criticism, Barry Chamish is determined to speak
at the conference. He calls it a lecture for us, the
Holocaust deniers. Interesting is also that Barry
Chamish is the leading UFO researcher in Israel.
As a response to his critics, Barry Chamish wrote the
following column:

FROM HOROCHOW TO SACRAMENTO
by Barry Chamish
It was early summer, 1975 and I was about to move to
Israel. My zeide, grandfather, came over to my
parents' home to say goodbye to me. Since, for all I
knew, I might never see him again, I decided to make
some inquiries that were long overdue. He never spoke
of his family and as far as anyone knew, our little
family in the middle of Canada were the only Chamishes
in the world. I asked him if he knew of anyone else
named Chamish. He said that 60 years ago, he heard
that a cousin had made it to Baltimore.
I dialed long distance information (give me Baltimore,
MD) and asked if there was anyone named Chamish in the
directory. There were two entries, Benjamin and
Donald. I assumed there were no Donalds roaming the
European shtetls and took Benjamin's number and called
it.
He answered the phone. "Good evening sir. I'm calling
from Canada."
"Yes."
"Do you know anyone named Shlomi Chamish?"
"He was my cousin."
"Wait, I'll get him for you."
My grandfather took the receiver and immediately he
began a smiling, spirited conversation in Yiddish. For
the first time in 60 years, he spoke with family from
the Old Country. The rest of my family was astounded.
Why hadn't anyone been curious enough in all these
years to ask him such a simple question?
Within days, my grandfather was flying to Baltimore
where a joyous reunion took place. My father told me,
"They toasted you for two days. Benjamin announced
that you were the one Chamish who remembered what it
is to be a Jew."
And it was Benjamin who broke the big news. One of my
grandfather's brothers, David, made it to New York
before the War. He had died but his two sons were
living there. Suddenly, my father had two first
cousins.
My sister was living in New York at the time and I had
already moved to Israel when she called cousin Paul
for the first time. He was not easy to persuade to
meet. He was a trader and limited partner at Bear
Stearns and adopted the tough cynicism of Wall Street.
However, he relented and once he understood this
wasn't some sort of scam to part money from him, was,
like everyone else, astounded. He later introduced my
sister to his brother and their two kids, and she
instantly had two new first cousins, once removed.
When my sister got married in Ramat Gan, Paul flew in
for the ceremony. We hit it off from the first moment.
He, like me, was single with a wild streak and we
loved each other's company. While serving in the IDF,
I received an invitation to his niece Amy Chamish's
wedding, and requested a furlough to attend. For the
first of many times, Paul put me up at his mid-town
apartment. Meanwhile, my parents, brother, and
Canadian cousin all flew in for the wedding. Two
Canadian and American branches of the Chamish family
were reunited after six decades.
Shortly after arriving in Israel, I decided to
investigate if there were relatives here as well. I
went to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yad Vashem
and asked the librarian to find me any records of a
family named Chamish. Efficiently, she brought me a
folder with fifteen names. I photocopied the batch and
studied the documents at home.
The records were compiled voluntarily over the years.
Survivors of the maelstrom filled out the forms: name,
spouse's name, approximate date of birth, occupation,
number of children and names: and where and when
murdered. The names and addresses of those who had
filled out the forms was at the bottom. These were the
people I would try to contact.
I stared at the names of all these people with my name
and looked away from the names of the death camps they
were sent to. I mailed the forms to my father and
requested that he gently go over them with my
grandfather. A letter arrived two weeks later, "Okay
Columbo, your zeide found his brother. He, his wife
Pearl and their two children were lost."
Now it was time to do some leg work. For no other
reason than the name seemed most likely, I called
Avraham Chamish in Rehovot. I arranged a time to meet
when my grandfather would accept a long distance call.
My first impression of him was his resemblance to my
grandfather and this impression never stopped: all
Chamish males had the same build and features. But
alas, after a few moments on the phone with my
grandfather, they knew no one in common.
But I learned a lesson. This family was more spread
out than I knew, and next time I would ask the older
members to make a list of EVERYONE they could recall
and what their work was. And that rule proved wise
about six months later when I met Yaacov Chamish in
his moshav near Rehovot.
Yaacov took to me immediately and stated simply, "I'll
believe we're family. You don't have to prove it."
But, short of DNA testing, I wanted an answer. I asked
him to make a list of everyone he remembered, and I
asked my grandfather to do the same. The challenge was
this: I had found three branches of the family, all
living within forty miles of each other, just south of
Lvov. Their towns were Horochow, where my branch
originated, Stervich and Berestichko. And there seemed
to be no interaction between the communities.
The first exchange between Yaacov and my grandfather
bore no fruit. Each went over his list of the perished
but not a name in common could be found. Yaacov put
down the phone and announced, "Well, that's that. We
don't know the same people."
I pleaded for one last opportunity and asked he and my
grandfather to squeeze the last names from their
memories. Yaacov made a list of just five names. One
of them was Lazar Hirsch, a butcher. My grandfather
made a similar list. On it was a second cousin he
vaguely recalled, a butcher named Lazar Hirsch.
And that's all it took to reunite the Horochow and
Berestichko branches of the Chamish family.
There was one other branch, they left for the Russian
town of Kozin, and a strong branch settled in
Vineland, New Jersey. Over the years I have met the
dispersed Chamishes and been delighted by the success
of just about every member. Gideon was the junior
table tennis champion of Israel, a career cut short by
losing much of his hand in the Yom Kippur War. Leah
was the junior show jumping champion of California.
Leanna is an actress whose genre is horror films. But
two people stood out for me because they had inherited
my soul.
Rene Chamish, of the New Jersey branch, was a writer
and a good one. She contributed to the Jewish Press in
New York and sent me a lovely piece about her memories
of her father. She was a rarity in the Chamish world,
an Orthodox Jew.
And cousin Paul kept coming back to Israel. He
couldn't stay away. He finally gave up his handsome
Wall Street salary to become Orthodox, finally
settling with his new family in the Har Nof
neighborhood of Jerusalem. His journey began barely a
decade before when I asked my grandfather this most
obvious question: are we alone in this world?
We were not. But how much richer we would have been
were it not for the Germans and the forces which
promoted and funded Nazism.
Back to Israel and I visited a family from the
Horochow branch in Haifa. Sadly, the husband,
Mordechai had died in the army so no memories could be
tapped. But he did leave a prize behind: a memorial
book to the Jews of Horochow.
There were once 80,000 Jews in Horochow. A few
hundred, at most, survived the Holocaust. And within
were their pictures. Here is the Horochow Betar
football team looking like winners, there is the
theatre group. Here are the community leaders, there
are the rabbis. All dead and gone.
Existing in our sickened world is a growing phenomenon
called Holocaust denial. The believers of this idiocy
have reached the conclusion that all the Horochows of
Europe weren't wiped out. That the soccer teams are
still on the pitch, the actors still reciting their
lines, the community leaders still raising their funds
and the rabbis still studying their tracts.
It's time someone put an end to their delusions, as
much for their own dignity as those they claim weren't
slaughtered by the millions.
And it was my very reluctant decision to accept an
invitation to speak at a conference of such deniers in
Sacramento, that is causing me my current aggravation.
One Daniel Pipes spread the accusation over the
internet that he has the proof needed to end "the
Chamish cult." Since I am going to the conference, he
reasoned, therefore I am a Holocaust denier. Without
checking the facts, Pipes issued a blood libel against
me.

I did not like the tone of Mr. Chamish, and this is
what I wrote hime back:
[START]
Dear Mr. Chamish,
I have read your comments below. We welcome you to
the 2004 International Revisionist Conference.
However,
from the beginning we have established some rules,
which you will have to adhere to like everyone else.
One is no name-calling and no bashing of revisionist
or revisionist organizations.
This is an advance notice that the article below is
very deragatory towards revisionists and you will
have to change the tone at the conference. We are not
afraid of factual discussions. We won't allow anyone
else to attack you either and we won't tolerate it
from you.
Whatever you may think of revisionists, you will have
to address us in a civilized manner. If this
interferes with your intentions, then I suggest you
stay away from the conference.
We will enforce these rules ruthlessly. Since you
don't know me, I can assure you, the minute you
insult or bash or call anyone names, our security
personnel will remove you from the podium.
Let me say it again that you are most welcome. The
revisionist conference is all about freedom of speech.
Yours as well as ours.
Also, be prepared for Q and A, as everyone else that
speaks.
I look forward meeting you.
Walter F. Mueller
[END]
And this is what Mr. Chamish wrote me back:
[START]
I will abide by your rules.
[END]
This is freedom of speech at its best in Sacramento.
Personally, I welcome this discussion because it
presents a picture of tolerance among our community.
My thanks to Dr. Toben for providing this opportunity.
It is of utmost importance that all speakers are
treated with respect. Anyone not following these rules
will be removed.
Thanks to our friends in France, the conference was
advertised in the French newspaper "Rivarol":
[START]
The weekly "Rivarol" has just featured a small article
in its issue dated Feb. 27 under the title "The Beauty
and the Beast". I'm copying it hereafter for you.
(They wrote "immonde" between brackets in the title
because here in France Nazism is called "la Bête
immonde", which means the hideous Beast.)
[START]
SACRAMENTO: LA BELLE ET LA BETE (IMMONDE)
C'est à Sacramento, capitale de la Californie, que
doit avoir lieu les 24 et 25 avril prochains la
nouvelle Conférence révisionniste organisée par le
European American Culture Council de Sacramento et
l'Adelaide Institute d'Australie
www.adelaideinstitute.org)
avec l'aide financière de
l'Institute for Historical Review
www.ihr.org/index/html). Si
le Croate Tom Sunic a
préféré se désister, un long message du professeur
Faurisson devrait être lu à la tribune où sont
annoncés entre autres lady Michelle Renouf (voir
ci-contre), ancienne... Miss New-Zealand (!), et
l'avocat
allemand Horst Mahler, qui déclarait le 6 février
devant le tribunal de Berlin où il comparaissait ainsi
que deux "complices" pour incitation à la haine
raciale: "C'est un mensonge de dire que nous avons
systématiquement tué 6 millions de juifs!"
L'Anti-defamation League of B'nai B'rith est déjà sur
les
dents.

Now, this is quite a silly issue, but too many
inquiries made it necessary for me to respond.
Apollonian can be added to the list of people who have
called for a boycott of the conference. Apollonian
used to write for Community News, and after too many
complaints from readers, I let him go. Ever since, he
seems to be mentally unstable.
Apollonian's real name is: Dennis Chamberlain. He
lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the address is PO
Box 26324, Albuquerque, NM 87125-6324.
Mr. Chamberlain says this about me:
"Mueller keeps pushing socialism. These Krauts need to
get it firmly in their little minds, we're not gonna
have socialism here in any form."
Mr. Chamberlain severely attacks several speakers of
the conference:
"Mueller, Toben, Germar Rudolf, are krauts, pure and
simple, and we need to kick their stupid asses."
"These refugees are recipients of American charity.
Carlos Porter is a mental midget."
About French's leading revisionist, Dr. Robert
Faurisson, Chamberlain says this:
"Dr. Robert Faurisson, a French dumb shit."
Imagine that this guy was scheduled as a speaker at
the conference! Thank God we removed him.
Well, this is it from right here, the war room of
Community News. See you - you know where!
