I AM a 10th grade Honors English II student.
About two months ago, my teacher assigned an independent
reading project that included writing a research paper
afterwards. The guidelines of the paper were pretty
simple: choose a topic that is related to the book you
read that involves a major controversy. [Wiesel]I
read the book, Night by Elie Wiesel,
(left) and so the topic that I chose to write my
research paper on was Holocaust Denial.

In order to write a good research paper with a detailed controversy, you must know both sides of your controversy. In order to do this: I decided that I need to get my information directly from the sources: You and
Mr. Bradley Smith. I have done a little bit of research on you and Bradley R. Smith, but not enough to know your true opinions. What I would like to know from you is why you believe that the Holocaust is a hoax.

Some sources that I have read say that it is because of your
Anti-Semitic beliefs, do you consider yourself
Anti-Semitic? If so, what caused these feelings? Also, feel free to tell me anything else that may aid me in writing this paper.
