Irving's Reader Writes: - When will you speak at
Harvard again?
JUST a belated note to convey my happiness at your fortunate release
from the Austrian gulag, as well as my thanks for the fascinating
account of your ordeal that you recently posted.
I was well aware that free speech in much of Europe no longer
extends to questioning the official line on World War II, but I had
no idea of the extent to which a putatively "free" country such as
Austria would stoop to such baldly Stalinist tactics in an effort to
silence voices such as yours. Thank God for the courage, dedication
and brilliance that your second lawyer [Dr Herbert Schaller]
displayed in defending you.

I have read and enjoyed several of your books, and I am eagerly
awaiting the release of your Himmler biography.
I also enjoyed hearing you speak and briefly meeting you at Harvard
three years ago, and I would appreciate being notified of any future
appearances you might schedule for the Boston area when (I hope) you
are ready to resume your U.S. speaking tours.

Harvard 1977
THE first time I spoke at Harvard was in 1977, when The Viking
Press published the original edition of "Hitler's War".
When St Martins Press announced their publication -- later
scrapped -- of "Goebbels. Mastermind of the Third Reich" Dr Richard
Hunt, Marshal of Harvard until 2002, himself a Goebbels expert,
tried to invited me again. A professor called Goldhagen vetoed that
invitation; he was the much wiser father of the less wise Daniel
Goldhagen.

Henry Morgenthau
Since then I have privately spoken on the Harvard campus
three or four times, but the necessarily restricted audience is
by special invitation only. Otherwise the Great White Torturer
himself would doubtless intervene.
If people in the Boston area want to hear me this year, they
should mail me now.

Roosevelt Laments On The Jewish Ivy league
Such is the onward march of free speech in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. I recall many years ago reading in the unpublished
diaries of Henry Morgenthau Jr., a 1944 conversation in which
President Roosevelt lamented that five percent of the intake at
Harvard was already Jewish, and that this was too much already, he
wanted the figure reduced to three. Morgenthau sagely nodded
agreement. Both knew that this kind of thing was the stuff that
Holocausts are made of.

The Harvard Infestation
The overall figure at Harvard is now well over fifty percent I
believe. I guess they are just cleverer than us, folks. There can't
be any other explanation, can there.
