For your newsgroups file:
soc.culture.jewish.holocaust	The Shoah. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

This newsgroup will create a storagehouse for all kinds of information
from various sources on the Holocaust in Europe that occurred between
1942-1945 (along with the events leading up to it that happened
in the early 30's).  This newsgroup will be called
soc.culture.jewish.holocaust.  While the newsgroup is entitled
"Holocaust," it will involve materials only from the situation known in
Hebrew as the Shoah -- the systematic genocide of 9 million individuals,
including 6 million Jews.  This newgroup will include Holocaust materials
from both personal testimonies of survivors and their families and "hard"
facts from historians and observers.

This newsgroup will be moderated to prevent any anti-Semitic or
race-baiting comments from Neo-Nazis or self-proclaimed "academic"
Holocaust deniers or revisionists.  This will not be a forum for
discussing whether or not the Shoah happened; instead, it will be a place
for intelligent and factual discussion of those events.  For those Usenet
readers who wish to debate the existence of the Holocaust, they are
encouraged to read the groups alt.revisionists and soc.history, along with
the group alt.skinheads.

MODERATION
----------
The guidelines for moderation are as follows:  materials which are not
accurate factually or are seen as being anti-Semitic or revisionist will
not be allowed on the group.  All other posts will be accepted.  As of now,
the moderators for the group include Bob Michael of Dartmouth, Rick
Horowitz of the California State University at Fresno, and Daniel Aldrich
of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

If an article is considered to be factually inaccurate or purposefully
anti-Semitic (or any kind of hate speech) then a vote will be taken
among the moderators.  Two of of the three must agree that the
material is hateful in order for it to be removed.

All other material will be accepted, be it theological or factual
or personal in nature.
