   Did you even click the pdf w/ the lengthy report? With dozens of 
testimonies, photos, etc.  Once again (as Trotsky wrote so often),

   On "leftists" denying the camps, see the new book on Camus and Sartre, 
by my NAM and DSA comrade, Sartre scholar, Ron Aronson and, "Hope and 
Memory : Lessons from the Twentieth Century, " by Tzvetan Todorov, which 
details what happened to David Rousset, an independent radical, who wrote, 
"L'Univers Concentrationnaire, " back in '47 and was attacked by the PCF.

  To Lance, who is as annoyed (actually, I loathe the white yuppies I 
encounter walking through the financial district to my $9.50 hr. job w/ no 
health or other benefits) at yuppies as I, Thomas can confirm, I am far 
from one. As for " except "do-nothingism" ecept hand wring and whining, I 
do go to meetings of United for Peace and Justice at the AFSC office. A 
recent meeting of a subcommittee of 5 or 6 that went to IAC/ANSWER/WWP HQ 
here on Mission St. to air differences and see if, as in last yrs. last 
"big" demos in D.C. UfPJ could co-sponsor L'Univers Concentrationnairemrch 
20 ("Give me that old time UNITY...on your terms entirely, Comrade 
Becker!") was rebuffed w/ the crassest demogogy.
