Read the recordMr DUKE was introduced to Mr Irving at a function in Baton Rouge in about 1995. His views appear to be supported by an overwhelming majority of White voters in Louisiana, as he demonstrated in a gubernatorial race there. Democracy has its uses. (One suspects that Prof Lipstadt would not fare so well...
Read the recordNOTE OF course the underlying implication of all this: Deborah Lipstadt did not have the evidence she needed at the time she wrote her lies, despite having canvassed all her pals, the ADL , the Board of Deputies of British Jews , the Institute of Jewish Affairs (who had secretly told newspapers that...
Read the recordLIPSTADT misses the point. A historian's "stock in trade" is the secret material that he has acquired in a lifetime of research and hard field work. From the applications made by Lipstadt and her lawyers it was plain they wanted to gain access to these secret files, which had nothing to do with the
Read the recordSHATTERED by his ordeal in cross examination at the hands of Zündel's counsel Douglas Christie , Browning refused to testify again in the later Zündel trials, not wanting to go through that -- ever -- again. In the Lipstadt trial, he behaved badly: he tried to withdraw evidence in his report when Mr...
Read the recordTHIS "NEUTRAL" expert witness and specialist on Hitler, Dr Peter Longerich, had an embarrassing moment with Mr Irving two years earlier. Lecturing at the German Institute in London on the evolution of Hitler's [non existent] decision to exeterminate all the Jews, he found Mr Irving in the audience.
Read the recordTHIS decision was made at a hearing on Directions. Mr Irving and Mr Julius had discussed the matter outside the Court, and Mr Irving had diffidently volunteered to Mr Julius, on the advice of his own legal experts, that he felt the case should be heard by a Judge alone. Depending on the identity of
Read the recordMr IRVING has kept a daily diary for forty years or more. The diaries fill around 50,000,000 words. The Defense asked him to produce all entries relating to their wish-list of names. It would have taken him two man-years to search all the entries. I.e. it was oppressive, and the Court was reluctant
Read the recordTHIS "NEUTRAL" expert witness and specialist about the extreme right, Dr Hajo Funke, while being a personable and engaging expert with whom Mr Irving enjoyed discussions during the court pauses, was not neutral either. He was an extreme left-wing agitator and revolutionary, as became clear to Mr Irv...
Read the recordTHAT is because there was none. Mr Irving occasionally received letters from such people, but rarely filed them. The defense were living in a dream world, in which a wish-list becomes reality even without being based on fact. In Court, Mr Irving asked one such defense expert, who had had privileged
Read the recordMr Irving writes: YES, A BLOOMSBURY bistro. I can never forget that on the evening after burying my oldest daughter one sad day three months before the trial began, I received an unexpected anonymous wreath, with a card attached to it that dripped with hatred. It read in effect "your daughter had it...
Read the recordTHE DEFENCE subsequently offered a plethora of reasons why they did not call Auschwitz survivors as witnesses.

Read the recordTHIS whinge is a common, indeed comical, strain throughout all Lipstadt's articles about the trial: shock, horror, bafflement, and amazement that she is expected to prove that what she wrote is true. To an historian this seems so self-evident that the dismay of Professor Lipstadt seems almost laugha...
Read the recordTHE READER is left with the impression that Lipstadt is unfamiliar with the Dr Goebbels biography. In fact from late 1995 she and her Jewish pals masterminded the eventually successful campaign to blackmail and bludgeon St Martin's Press (SMP) into abandoning this project and violating their contrac...
