ON February 13, 2004 the solicitors for Baker
Tilly, Trustee of Mr Irving's illegally seized
archives and estate, wrote this
warning to Mishcon de Reya, Deborah
Lipstadt's chosen solicitors after it was
learned that Jersak, hired to assess Mr Irving's
seized archives, was caught red-handed walking out
with valuable items: 
REGRETFULLY, we must put on record that when
Mr [Tobias] Jersak [history "expert"
hired
by Lipstadt] carried out inspection of the
items removed from 81 Duke Street, on behalf of
our client [Louise Brittain, the
Trustee] he sought to remove certain
documentation held in the Trustees' custody. You
have already been made aware of this fact by our
client. As a result, our client inevitably has
concerns about your client's impartiality in
this matter. […]

Progress: If he studied at Stuttgart,
Jersak probably came into contact with the
Holocaust expert and photo-forger
Professor Dr Eberhard
Jäckel, head of the History Dept., and
friend of Lea
Rosh (of Berlin Holocaust
Memorial fame). He then came to Cambridge, fell
under the spell of Prof
Richard "Skunky" Evans -- and became a
thief. |

He is also among others mentioned in the Center for
Holocaust Studies "Mid
Year Report June through December 2000" at
"Defense Against Holocaust Denial: British 'Dream
Team' Comes to Clark" [extract in box at
right] 
There is a lecture by Jersak, Representations
of War in the East, 1941-1945. The German Case,
delivered at the 19th International Congress of
Historical Sciences in August 2000 in Oslo, Norway
( Adobe

His latest book (together with Gerhard Hirschfeld,
not yet published) is mentioned at http://www.geisteswissenschaften-sprache-und-linguistik-verzeichnisse.de/3593371561.html | | "Barrister
Heather Rogers analyzed the preparation for
the trial and Dr. Tobias Jersak, defense
researcher, detailed the painstaking process of
examining the chain of documents that Irving
claimed proved Hitler was ignorant of the
persecution of the Jews.
"Denial of the Holocaust is not a
crime in Great Britain as it is in other places,
Rogers explained. Thus the defense had to build
their case by examining what Irving has written and
said over 30 years.
"The defense had to prove
Lipstadt's assertions about Irving were correct by
trawling through his books, papers and speeches. In
the end they showed Irving's pattern of
manipulation of the historical evidence and his
blatant disregard of documents that contradicted
his pro-Hitler denier
proposition."
