David McCalden devised a publicity stunt in which the Institute for Historical Review offered a $50,000 reward for proof that Jews were gassed to death at Auschwitz, and he declined acceptance by Auschwitz survivor Mel Mermelstein.

Public interest attorney William John Cox filed a lawsuit against Carto, David McCalden, and the IHR; in October 1981 a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled the court takes judicial notice that Jews were gassed at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944 and ordered the IHR to apologize and pay $90,000 in damages.
