ON TRACK FOR REVISIONIST CONFERENCE IN
SACRAMENTO News from the Institute for Historical
Review Thursday, April 22, 2004 Everything is on track for a successful
revisionist conference in Sacramento, California,
on Saturday, April 24. This one-day event was
quickly organized by the IHR following the sudden
cancellation on Monday of the much-publicized
two-day International Revisionist Conference. The
Saturday conference is set to begin at noon, and
will end at 9:30 p.m., with a break for dinner.
Persons wishing to attend should meet on Saturday
morning at 11:00 a.m. at the "redirect point" in
central Sacramento, from where they will be
directed to the actual conference site. The meeting
point is the Vagabond Inn, Midtown, at 1319 - 30th
Street (N and 30th streets). Persons who registered for the cancelled two-day
conference will be admitted for free, upon
presentation of their ticket. For others,
registration fee is $10. Meals are the
responsibility of the individual attendees,
although arrangements are being made to provide
some food at the meeting hall. Speakers will
include: - Mark Weber, director of the IHR
- Paul Fromm, director of the Canadian
Association for Free Expression
- Edgar Steele, attorney (Idaho)
- Lady Michelle Renouf (England)
- Harvey Taylor will serve as Master of
Ceremonies. Suitable attire, please. (No

- On Monday, April 19, the Sacramento
Turnverein, a German-American cultural center,
cancelled its contract to host the two-day
International Revisionist Conference. Walter
Mueller, conference organizer, then issued a
statement: "With great outrage do I have to tell
you that the conference has been cancelled. The
Sacramento Turnverein caved in to the massive
pressure of the Jewish community and cancelled
our facility." The Jewish Defense League sent
out a statement boasting of its role: "...We had
been diligently working behind the scenes to
facilitate just such an event [that is, the
cancellation]. Today has been a very good
day for the Jewish Community of Sacramento...
and for the Jewish Defense League who can add
another battle star to our banner." The Saturday
conference is dedicated to freedom for Ernst
Zundel, who has been held for more than a year
in a Canadian prison as a political
prisoner.
