Description
Examines the 2000 UK court case in which Holocaust denier David Irving sued author Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books for characterising him as a Holocaust denier, and lost. Also discusses the origins of Holocaust denial and the motivations of deniers, viewing such denial as a deliberate attempt to corrupt historical scholarship. Finally, considers Israel's position vis-a-vis Holocaust denial.
