Holocaust cartoon contest.<br />

Dave Duke (USA)<br />

Perhaps America's best-known racist, David Duke was instrumental in the Klan resurgence of the<br />

1970s. He has since continued to propagandize white supremacist views as a frequent political<br />

candidate, with a variety of fringe organizations and, in recent years, in Russia, Ukraine, other parts of<br />

Europe and the Middle East. At the Tehran conference, Duke's institutional affiliation was given as<br />

MAUP, a private Ukrainian university with close links to the Iranian regime and the main publisher of<br />

anti-Semitic material in Ukraine. Duke's messages typically include conspiratorial depictions of Jewish<br />

power and Jewish hatred for non-Jews, a combination he refers to as "Jewish supremacism."<br />

Robert Faurisson (France)<br />

A former literature professor, Robert Faurisson is one of the most famous Holocaust deniers in<br />

Europe. Not content to deny the existence of homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz, Faurisson also<br />

claims that the Diary of Anne Frank is a "fraud," that it is "incoherent" and "absurd."<br />

Wolfgang Frohlich (Austria)<br />

A neo-Nazi and former member of Austrian Joerg Haider's far-right Freedom Party, Wolfgang<br />

Frohlich was convicted of inciting racial hatred and defaming the memory of the dead <strong>by</strong> an Austrian<br />

court in 2003 after he wrote and widely disseminated a book called "The Gas Chamber Fraud," in<br />

which he argued that Jews had devised the Holocaust story as a means of establishing a "new world<br />

order."<br />

Mohammed Hegazi (Australia)<br />

An associate of Fredrick Toben who demeans what he calls the "Holohoax" and presents himself as a<br />

champion of the Palestinians, Mohammed Hegazi has called the removal of "Zionist squatters" from<br />

the entire land of Israel, and has predicted that if they do not leave they will eventually be killed. He<br />

describes suicide bombings as "the noblest form of self-sacrifice" and claims that Australia is<br />

controlled <strong>by</strong> "Jewish supremacists in New York."<br />

George Kadar (USA / Hungary)<br />

Originally from Hungary but a longtime resident of the U.S., George Kadar is an associate of David<br />

Duke and a reporter for the anti-Semitic newspaper, American Free Press. He is an active participant<br />

in the white supremacist Stormfront electronic forum, and in the late 1990s was a member of<br />

"American Spring," a white supremacist, anti-immigrant group.<br />

Richard Krege (Australia)<br />

An associate of Fredrick Toben, Richard Krege claims that his investigation with ground-penetrating<br />

radar showed that thousands of Jews were not killed at the notorious Treblinka concentration camp.<br />

He spoke at the 2006 Holocaust denial conference sponsored <strong>by</strong> the U.S.-based anti-Semitic<br />

publications, American Free Press and The Barnes Review. He also traveled to Iran in late 2005,<br />

where he promoted Holocaust denial at three universities.<br />

Patrick McNally (Japan)<br />

An outspoken believer in a "world Jewish conspiracy" and denier of the Holocaust, Patrick McNally<br />

claims to teach at a University in Tokyo. In the past year McNally has claimed that "elite Jewry"<br />

planned and executed a "poisonous genocide" against the Iraqi people, "traitorous Jews in high places<br />

throughout the White world" provoked the Danish cartoon controversy in late 2005.<br />

Neturei Karta<br />

This miniscule group on the farthest fringes of Judaism advocates the "dismantling" of the State of<br />

Israel until their messiah comes. Members of Neturei Karta have a long record of extremist<br />

statements and support for anti-Semites and Islamic extremists.<br />

Michael Collins Piper (USA) A reporter for the American Free Press, a conspiracy-oriented, anti-<br />

Semitic publication published <strong>by</strong> Willis Carto, Michael Collins Piper has written several books<br />

promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including claims that the Mossad was involved in the<br />

John F. Kennedy assassination, and that Israel and the American pro-Israel lob<strong>by</strong> control U.S. foreign<br />

policy. He also claims Israel was implicated in the events of 9/11. In 2003, he lectured on anti-Israel<br />

and anti-Semitic themes (including the alleged truth of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion) in the<br />

United Arab Emirates at the invitation of the now-defunct Zayed Center.<br />

Michele Renouf (UK) An Australia-born socialite who became a believer in Holocaust denial and a<br />

major supporter of disgraced historian David Irving, Michele Renouf, an avowed atheist, nevertheless<br />

abhors Judaism. In a 2003 interview she said, "People act as though Judaism is just another religion<br />

like Christianity or Islam. It's not. It's a creed of domination and racial superiority."<br />

Bradley Smith (USA) Though he often tries to present himself as a free speech activist, Bradley<br />

Smith has functioned as a propagandist for the Holocaust denial movement since 1983. He achieved<br />

his greatest notoriety as the director of the now-defunct Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust,<br />

whose mission was to disseminate Holocaust denial to students on college campuses. In April 2004 he<br />
