	Denial of the Holocaust and Immoral Equivalence - An Interview with Deborah Lipstadt
		Lipstadt notes: "Even those serious historians who consider history very subjective do not accept Holocaust denial, because it goes beyond the boundaries." She explains that, while some historians may say that Hitler was the worst murderer of the 20th century, others would assess that Stalin was as bad.
		Lipstadt agrees that criticism against Israel is as legitimate as that against any other country; but she stresses the difficulty of sharply defining proper boundaries: "What is not permitted," she concludes, "is false historical analysis and the use of immoral equivalencies.

	History on Trial, Deborah E. Lipstadt - HarperAcademic
		A year later, when Irving sued Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin UK, for libel in a London courtroom, the media spotlight fell on Deborah Lipstadt and, by extension, on the historiography of the Holocaust.

		This blow-by-blow account reveals how Lipstadt raised $1.5 million for her defense, which included a first-rate team of solicitors, historians, and experts, among them Anthony Julius, a literary scholar who is better known as the late Princess Diana's divorce lawyer.

		Still, Lipstadt could not bring herself to express sympathy for a man who had consumed so much of the past five years of her life with his bile, who had vilified the survivors and "danced on the graves" of the victims.

		Lipstadt makes it very clear that growth of Holocaust revisionism and denial goes far beyond ignorance to threaten the very roots of reason and democracy and attacks the foundations of enlightened human culture.
		Lipstadt warns of the dangers of getting involved in dialogue with them as this gives them a platform for their propaganda and unwarrented validity as 'the other point of view'.
		Lipstadt claims that there are many issues that 'Holocaust experts' debate - then seems to limit them to those which start from the assumption six million died, even when this is a highly tendentious figure.

		When you ask Professor Deborah Lipstadt for her thoughts on David Irving's forthcoming trial, the very last thing you expect her to say is: "Let the guy go home.
		However, in the case of the Holocaust, Lipstadt says she recognises a case for laws in the lands that formed the heart of the Third Reich.
		Lipstadt says the reason she is generally opposed to outlawing Holocaust denial is not because she fails to recognise how deeply offensive it is but because such laws tend to turn cranks into martyrs.

		Deborah Esther Lipstadt (born March 18, 1947, New York City) is an American historian and author of the book Denying the Holocaust.
		The legal defense team was led by Anthony Julius, and the defense was presented in court by Richard Rampton QC in early 2000.
		Although UK libel law puts the burden of proof on the defendant rather than the plaintiff, Lipstadt and Penguin won the case using the justification defense -- that is, by demonstrating in court that Lipstadt's accusations against Irving were substantially true and therefore not libelous.

		Lipstadt had called Irving a Holocaust denier in a book about the Holocaust denial movement, and Britain's libel laws put the burden of proof on her to show that the charge was true.
		Lipstadt herself is a reluctant heroine, a feisty, outspoken woman forced to remain silent (she did not testify in court) and let her lawyers speak for her.
		Against her nature, Lipstadt followed Julius's instruction to remain silent throughout, never speaking either in court or to the media that were not entirely fair to her.

		Lipstadt again explains another alleged consequence of Leuchter’s supposed most serious “error.” She writes: “He assumed that because he found higher levels of HCN residue in the chambers for delousing clothing and objects than in the homicidal gas chambers, humans were not killed in the latter.
		In all fairness to Lipstadt, though, Pressac does claim that the gas was in contact with the delousing chamber walls for much longer periods that it was in contact with the walls of the homicidal gas chambers.
		Most importantly, Lipstadt is claiming that the main reason there was no long-term buildup of cyanide residue in the “gas chambers” is because only small amounts of the HCN were in contact with the walls, pillars and ceilings for only very brief periods of time.

	Holocaust Denial On Trial
		Truth triumphed in a 2000 London courtroom when Deborah Lipstadt, Emory University's internationally distinguished scholar of the Holocaust, exposed a Holocaust denier who deliberately manipulated historical evidence in order to refute that the Holocaust happened, and to advance his anti-Semitic and white supremacist ideology.
		Lipstadt originally made reference to this historical misrepresentation in her book, "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory" (Free Press, 1993).
		Despite the legal and financial challenges of mounting a defense, Dr. Lipstadt and Penguin won their case resoundingly and exposed the pseudo scholarship and devious methodology of Irving and others who seek to distort 20th-century history in order to promote 21st-century anti-Semitism and white supremacy.
