One of the greatest 20th century tales

Speaking to DW-WORLD, screenplay writer, Ronald Harwood said: “Szpilman’s tale is truly one of the greatest stories of the 20th century”. The author is currently working on another project related to the Nazi regime, a film of the trial of [sic] the historian David Irving, who repeatedly denied the Holocaust.

In a damming [sic] judgement in 2000 a British Judge found Irving to have “deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence”, that he was “an active Holocaust denier” and an anti-Semitic and racist. — Ruth Elkins.
