HORST MAHLER
Dear Friends,
On 23 January Germany's most feared political thinker, Horst Mahler,
will be celebrating his 74th birthday. Herr Mahler has been incarcerated
since February 2009 and has thus completed the first year of his
12-year sentence.
Mahler is in good spirits and fine health; he speaks with his wife daily
on the phone, and he is teaching Hegelian philosophy via mail in an
attempt to make the thoughts of this great thinker more accessible
to the uninitiated.
He does, however, feel that many of his friends and supporters have
abandoned him, going about their daily business without consideration
for the enormous sacrifice that he has made, namely when considering
his age, spending possibly the remainder of his life locked up.
Therefore, I would ask you to write him a card or a letter letting him
know that he is not forgotten, and that the struggle for free speech
continues!
Please be aware that owing to the severity of his "crime" his mail is
censored. Only letters sent in envelopes that do not exceed A5 will be
given to him. Also, only letters that are free of "thought crime" will be
forwarded to the prisoner!
You can, of course, write matters of a personal nature. Horst Mahler
is a generous and loving person and would be glad to hear from you,
especially on his birthday!
Those wishing to support him financially may send him 5-10 Euros in a
separate envelope marked: "Verwendungszweck: Sondergeld 1".
His address is:
Horst Mahler
Anton-Saefkow-Allee 22
14772 Brandenburg/Havel
GERMANY
Thank you very much,

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton
In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."
On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.
The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.
This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.
The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.
This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.
