The U.S. Congressional Task Force Against Anti-Semitism urged the Internal Revenue Service to withdraw the tax-exempt status from a group that supports Holocaust revisionism. The group, the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, is the parent organization of the Institute for Historical Review, which the Anti- Defamation League has identified as “the world’s single most important outlet for Holocaust-denial propaganda.” Rep. Tom Lantos (D-Calif.), a Holocaust survivor who chairs the task force, called it “an absolute outrage that taxpayers, and the tens of thousands of American Holocaust survivors in particular, should subsidize the production and distribution of materials that so outrageously mock the truth.”
