A medical doctor in Japan who researched the "gas chambers" for five years, came to the same conclusion. The up-market magazine his article was published in was closed down and so was the publishing company that owned it. The ADL put pressure on advertisers like Benz, DeBeers and other big-ass companies to pull out and the collapse ensued. It was called the Marco-Polo scandal because that was the name of the magazine. The magazine spent five months fact-checking the doctor's article before publication.

Could you share some links about it when you have time? I would appreciate it. It would be a fine example of seeing the ADL in action.

Sure but I have only one link. The incident is well-known in Japan. On this page, scroll to 1990s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Japan . The title is ironic. If you search for Marco Polo Incident or Magazine, you may find more.
