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 />
