Sehr
recht!
So schrieb Walter Reich (Prof. an der
George-Washington University) in New York Times am 19.
Januar:

“Wenn man die eigenartigen Legalismen des englischen Rechts betrachtet, dann ist es natürlich durchaus möglich, daß der Richter zugunsten von
Mr Irving entscheidet deshalb wollen wir jetzt schon dem
Publikum klarmachen, daß eine Entscheidung wohl etwas
über englische Verleumdungsgesetze aussagt, aber nichts an der Wirklichkeit des Holocaust ändert.”
