the Lipstadt Trial your Ashleigh W. of Australia asks David Irving, , a few questions on the aftermath of the Lipstadt trial. Adelaide Royal Mail, ca 1900 Lipstadt Trial and the Lessons of History I AM a senior school student in Australia. For my major work in history extension this year, I have chosen to use the Lipstadt/Irving trial as a focus. The court case and the historical theory behind it fascinates me and I would love to hear some of your personal opinions.
I have prepared a few questions for you to answer if you don’t mind: [ see the questions and answers, below ] Please excuse any naivety in my questions, I only know what I have learnt from other sources so far, and therefore do not mean any offence when questioning your methods as a historian. Your answers need not be long, I do not wish to burden you in any way. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
