originally published in late
1977. The nominal author is
the Committee for Truth in
History and the copyright is
held by - Media Research
Associates, both of which
are "phony," he said.
Although the real
author had never been
disclosed, Lehrer ex-
plained, the ADL dis-
covered in October, 1978
that the bOok had been
written by Grimstad. The
ADL further discovered
that in 1977 Grimstad had
registered with the U.S.
State Department as an
agent of Saudi Arabia, he
said.
According to Lehrer, ADL
believes that the Saudis
paid $20,000 to Grimstad
for his account that the
Holocaust never occurred.
In addition to being a paid
agent of Saudi Arabia,
Grimstad is the former
editor of "White Power," a
newspaper published by an
extreme right-wing Nazi
group, Lehrer said.

Lehrer also discussed
Nazism throughout the
world and pointed out the
swastika has a visceral ef-
fect on Jewish groups, re-
gardless of the real threat
implied. Although other
right-wing groups, such as
the Ku Klux Klan and the
Liberty Lobby bear no swas-
tika, they are equally as
dangerous, he said.
He emphasized that the
ability of Nazi and other ex-
treme right-wing groups to
get media attention far out
of proportion to their very
small numbers is a serious
problem that requires vigi-
lance.

Dr. David Sidorsky, a pro-
fessor of philosophy at
Columbia University,
stated that he doesn't see
Nazism as a real threat to
the Jews in the United
States today. The three
major threats to world
Jewry, according to
Sidorsky, come from the left
and are the current situa-
