Magazine article summarizing original study largely of Holocaust and genocide scholars:

There followed Letters to the Editor of the Jerusalem Post Magazine over the coming weeks, three of which are reproduced here. The first letter is strongly critical of the author and study and was signed by a large group of academics, many of them prominent scholars, and most of them associated with INOGS, the organization that publishes JGR. The second letter is a reply by the author emphasizing that the study reports the judgments made by 76 respondents and not by the researcher. The third letter by Gregory Stanton, who directs Genocide Watch and is a former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, is strongly supportive .

Text of Israel Charny’s Request to Publish a Rejoinder in GSP
November 2, 2016
Dear Dr. Gudehus and others on the Editorial Board of Genocide Studies and Prevention,
I am going to be thanking the authors of the extensive critique of my study that you feature in the current issue of GSP, so that by definition I am also expressing my thanks to you for publishing it. I most certainly welcome far more extensive knowledge of the study and full discussion of its meanings which I believe are of great significance for all of us in the field of genocide studies.
However, I am at a loss – and I confess somewhat shocked – at the fact that you chose not to advise me of this forthcoming article and did not give me the opportunity to write a response.
Clearly, I would like to prepare such a response for the next issue of GSP. When will that be? We will want to mount this response in advance on our Institute website, but the readership there is limited and there is a good deal of meaning to the response being published in the same journal which featured the critique.
Best,
Israel Charny
Answer from GSP Dismissing Request for a Rejoinder
November 29, 2016
Dear Prof. Charny,
Yesterday at the GSP editorial board meeting we discussed your wish to publish a reaction to the article by Goldberg, et al that was published in Issue 10.2. That article was written in response to an article by you, in which some authors, as well as the editors of the Journal for Genocide Research were criticized. The GSP Editorial board has decided to provide them the opportunity in an academic environment to publicly deal with the allegations made in your publication. We, therefore consider the matter to be concluded and will have no further articles or comments on this matter published in GSP. You are, of course, free to submit an article through our online system that will treated in the same way as all other submissions to GSP.
Kind regards,
Dr. Christian Gudehus
