Real History Index to David Irving’s today’s AR-online Shoa Showdown is an article by Elli Wohlgelernter in the Friday 24th September 1999 edition of the Jerusalem Post about the renowned denier David Irving taking Lipstadt and her publishers to court A courtcase in London set to begin in January pits a top U S historian against a British denier, which could result in the Holocaust itself going on trial.
A quote from Devorah Lipstadt: “I don’t believe Holocaust denial is a clear and present danger, it’s a clear and future danger. When there won’t be anybody around to say ‘this is my story, this is what happened to me’ it will become easier to deny.” My question is, how does the American press react to this, how does the Britsh press react and how do members of the list feel on the subject.
Although aware of the presence of deniers, I felt rather shocked that Briten [sic] of all places should allow to pitch truth against the whim of a person writing fake facts under the academic cloak of a historian. Greetings from Jerusalem Shalom Ester Golan I go to the website of the Jerusalem Post, but cannot find the article; nor does there seem to be any recent reference to me or to a Wohlgelernter. Mystery! Perhaps Ester herself can help. [Mr Irving was wrong. The posting is not a hoax.
