PBS had a program a few years ago that documented the trial of David Irving (a non-degreed historian) against Deborah Lipstadt (a college professor of religion) for defamation of character and slander. "She has branded Irving a dangerous revisionist, claiming he bends historical evidence to match his own ideological agenda. Irving counters that Lipstadt has conspired to ruin his reputation and threaten his livelihood." Her accusations were the basis of the suit. pbs.org Mr Irving claimed that that there is no evidence of gas chambers at Auschwitz. He never denied the Holocaust. He has a reputation for tight, accurate research and documentation in previously written books. As I stated previously, the lynch-mob of the Holocaust Industry came out of the woodwork and began a campaign against the man labeling him a "Holocaust Denier", which seems to be standard procedure amongst those who are exploiting the Holocaust for gain. Although PBS website implies otherwise, they gave Mr. Irving's position a fair hearing and the viewer came away with the idea that perhaps Mr. Irving may be accurate. Is it historical revisionism to state that the Nazis did not turn Jews or others into soap? len
