As recently as a week before the conference convened in Sacramento, California, on April 24, 2004, the "International Revisionist Conference" was supposed to have been a two-day affair featuring a dozen or more speakers. At the last moment, however, the conference's intended venue refused to host the gathering, and the original organizer, a local Holocaust denier named Walter Mueller, pulled out. With many attendees already having arrived in Sacramento, IHR, with the help of the National Alliance, cobbled together a one-day conference dedicated to embattled Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel. Paul Fromm, a Zündel advocate from Canada, addressed the conference, as did anti-Zionist activist Chuck Carlson, and Holocaust deniers Bradley Smith, Edgar J. Steele and Lady Michelle Renouf.

Many people have this idea [that] Judaism is sort of like Christianity or Islam or Buddhism. That's a tremendous fallacy…it's a religion unlike any other religion. Because [Judaism is] a religion without a universal ethic. It's a religion the purpose of which is almost the deification of the Jewish people. The Jewish people are the end and purpose of the religion….

Jewish Zionist power….manifests itself in our society, in our cultural life, and especially in how we learn history, across the board, in every way, it effects our lives and effects our understanding of the past….

[W]hether you are a conservative, or a liberal, whether your primary loyalties are to your religion, to your ethnic group, to your country, to your heritage in whatever form, you will come up inevitably against this great Jewish Zionist power…[W]hat we are involved in, is a global struggle…and what is important is to come out of this conference today…not merely more aware, with greater understanding, but more determined to act, to do something, to be active, in a struggle that is not merely for…abstractions like justice or truth, but it's truly a struggle for the interests of us all and the interests of humanity.
