people to remember that the singularly creepy Anthony Julius oiled his way around the pressroom floor a few days later, boasting that his law firm had done the whole of their side of the work without fees — David Irving June 16, 2002 (Sunday) Key West (Florida) SOMEBODY emails me at 8:25 a.m., “I saw the awful news in the newspapers today. I am very sorry to see your courage and integrity so foully dealt with and such monstrous injustice dispensed from an English court.”
He recommends “John 11:35, Hebrews 13:8” and I reply: “Sorry, don’t know which newspapers. But I can guess. Bear with us, I am a Christian too and I know that things will come out all right.” Somebody else then emails me, “I’m looking to purchase some of your books. Do you still work out of your London home? Please let me know how I can contact you to make a purchase.” I give him our new phone number in Curzon Street, then instantly regret it: he may be a mole.
It was today’s The Sunday Telegraph in England which has run an item , rather late (it happened over three weeks ago) on my home of 34 years having been seized within 48 hours of losing the latest appeal. It is not unfriendly, and ends with two rather off-the-wall quotations from “Professor” Deborah Lipstadt — how long before she gets a knighthood? — and Lord Janner a controversial barrister and member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Professor Lipstadt last night told The Telegraph she took no pleasure in the news that Mr Irving had lost his home. She said: “This is not something I can gloat about. It is Penguin who are pushing for the money, not myself. I can understand their reasons. They feel that if they don’t recover the money they are owed on this case then they would open themselves up to all sorts of similar actions. The case brought by Mr Irving and the subsequent appeal has cost me more than £1 million.
I doubt whether I will ever get any of that money back.” Lord Janner, the chairman of the Holocaust Education Trust, said: “I am pleased that justice has caught up with him. He deserves everything he gets.” I am surprised — or am I? — that a Professor of Religion at a minor American university can afford one million pounds ($1.5m) to defend herself. Of course, she is lying yet again.
She does not want people to remember that a multitude of her greasy friends like (“Sir “) Stephen Spielberg, Edgar J Bronfman , the American Jewish Congress et al . stepped forward on the day of her Pyrrhic victory to boast to Jewish weeklies, newspapers, and television media that they, yes they, had provided her with the largesse, the six million dollars, that was poured into her side of the British courtroom in January 2000.
Or that the singularly creepy Anthoyn Julius oiled his way around the pressroom floor a few days later, boasting that his law firm had done the whole of their side of the work without fees? And that it was precisely because of these boasts that the same court refused to allow her her costs; in fact her lawyers did not even ask for them? What a pity we did not get her in the witness box to confront her with all her lies. Truth seems to be a very scarce commodity among her fraternity.
Lord Janner’s remarks will rebound upon his head, that I can predict. One day Justice may well catch up with him.
His “Holocaust Educational Trust”, another of those well-funded money-sucking quangos that litter the landscape of London, just as the political action committees are strewn across that of Washington DC, is anything but a charity: Dr John Fox , a British academic who was a member of the Trust, though non-Jewish, resigned in disgust after they held a secret censorship meeting in November 1991 to explore ways and means of pressurizing my main British publisher Macmillan Ltd to abandoned all their
remaining publishing contracts with me. I always wondered why Macmillan did, and eight years passed before Fox provided a copy of the secret meeting’s minutes to me. I HAVE received several comments on the Sheffield academic Ian Kershaw ‘s acceptance of a knighthood for his biography of Adolf Hitler . Good luck to him, I say, it will earn you money and invitations, but not lasting respect. Only hard labour in the quarries of history does that.
Somebody points out that the BBC announcement referred no fewer than five times to his being, uh, “a Catholic”: so that’s all right then. No bias there. June 17, 2002 (Monday) Key West (Florida) I SEND an email to my lawyers in London, Amhurst, Brown, Colombotti, instructing them: I want to stay on top of the final stage of the court [Lipstadt] matter.
Please therefore ask the transcribers to supply, as we are entitled I believe, a disc (digital) copy of their transcript and email it to me (and Counsel) as soon as it arrives. I will then assist in finding the passages that matter, of which I have a vivid recall. Several correspondents send me a long feature article published in The Observer (London) yesterday about Professor Richard Evans’ (left) plan to publish his book, now
