Dear Professor Lipstadt:
Can you provide, with proof, the identity of one person killed in a German gas chamber at Auschwitz?
Thank you.

A NOTE TO THOSE TO WHOM I HAVE COPIED THIS LETTER
The above is the exact text of the 18-word question that I have put to Professor Lipstadt. We were told for four decades that four millions were killed at Auschwitz in gas chambers. Today we are told that about one million were killed there in gas chambers. I am asking for the identity, with proof, of one (one) person killed in a German gas chamber at Auschwitz.
I am perfectly aware that in America there is a taboo against asking this question, or any question like it. I understand that in much of Europe, and in Israel, asking such a question can very well cause you to be prosecuted and imprisoned for “thought crimes.” Whether you are an academic, a journalist, or an interested third party, I should think that you would agree that my question to Professor Lipstadt suggests an irony that for Americans is, or should be, too obvious to need explanation.

NOTE TO FORUM READERS:
The folk to whom I copied this 18-word letter includes the history and journalism departments at Emory U and Georgia U, along with the editorial staffs of the two campus newspapers and that of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
I would like to send the letter to the same folk on other campuses and their surrounding communities. It takes about 1.5 -- 2.0 hours to put together the list for one university. If anyone here would like to help, please contact me. If we produce a story, we'll stay with it. If we don't, we'll chalk it up to experience.
