It costs us a modicum of labor and money. The only benefit accrues to thereader who, we surmise, thinks by himself. A reader looks for a document on the Web at his or her ownrisks. As for the author, there is no reason to suppose that he or she shares any responsibility for otherwritings displayed on this Site. Because laws enforcing a specific censorship on some historicalquestion apply in various countries (Germany, France, Israel, Switzerland, Canada, and others) we donot ask their permission from authors living in thoses places: they wouldn't have the freedom toconsent.We believe we are protected by article 19 of the Human Rights Charter: "Everyone has the right tofreedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interferenceand to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."(The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly onDecember 10, 1948, in Paris.)
