In her acclaimed 1993 book Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called David Irving, a prolific writer of books on World War II, “one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial.” The following year, after Lipstadt’s book was published in the United Kingdom, Irving filed a libel suit against Lipstadt and her publisher. She prepared her defense with the help of a first-rate team of solicitors, historians, and experts, and a dramatic trial unfolded. Denial, previously published as History on Trial, is Lipstadt’s riveting, blow-by-blow account of this singular legal battle, which resulted in a formal denunciation of a Holocaust denier that crippled the movement for years to come. Lipstadt’s victory was proclaimed on the front page of major news-papers around the world, such as The Times (UK), which declared that ‘history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.’”

I was stymied by the task of writing this review for a long time. I didn't know where to start because this is a subject so emotionally charged that it's difficult to discuss. Then I realized that this was one of the central issues of the book and the trial. How do you approach Holocaust denial? Do you even dignify that position by bothering to argue it?This is the question Deborah Lipstadt has to answer when historian David Irving brought a lawsuit against her for calling him a Holocaust denier, and a liar. He brought the suit in London because British law required Lipstadt to prove that her accusations were true rather than placing the burden of proof on Irving himself as plaintiff as American law would have done. Lipstadt could have made it all go away by settling -- and there was pressure on her to do so, even from parts of the Jewish community -- but she chose to fight the suit because not to would have been to imply that it was okay to deny the murder of millions of Jews (and others, though that doesn't actually enter into the narrative.)The account of the trial shows clearly how frustrated Lipstadt was with the process, with the fact that her legal team would not allow her to testify, nor would they allow Holocaust survivors to take the stand. She didn't understand either position and butted heads with her lawyers on more than one occasion. She took exception to her barrister treating a visit to Auschwitz as a forensic visit rather than a memorial one. Her responses were utterly understandable and based on emotion, and that is why her team made the choices they did.  The law doesn't deal in emotional arguments, it deals in facts. The weight of tears cannot be measured against the weight of evidence. Lipstadt and her team didn't have to prove that millions of people died and that Hitler was ultimately responsible, they just had to prove that in misrepresenting facts and changing words from primary documents, Irving lied. They didn't have to prove that anti-Semitism and racism are wrong, they only had to prove that Irving was a racist and anti-Semite. And only a painstaking examination of fact could ever prove those things.The book is a powerful one, particularly in our time when racism, anti-Semitism, and all manner of ugly, troll-like behavior is being enabled at the highest levels of government. Irving's behavior feels familiar to this contemporary American, a man who cannot admit either mistakes, or wrong-doing, and who is not only a Holocaust denier but who, on the night when the verdict was given in Lipstadt's favor, went on British television to talk about how, in the end, the decision was actually quite favorable to him. It wasn't, it was devastating to him, but he was either incapable of understanding that or he simply refused to admit it. When asked if he would then stop denying the Holocaust, Irving replied, "Good lord, no."I should add that before I wrote this review I also watched the film, and found it excellent. I think they're complimentary, and one enhances the other. Either way, if you're at all interested in the case, one which I did find I remembered from the late 1990s, the book and to a lesser extent the film, is well worth your time.
I will try to keep my remarks about this book only. Professor Lipstadt does an excellent job of reviewing the evidence submitted by her own defense and David Ivring' s evidence. She does so in words easily understood by those of us not exactly in tune with a legal system difficult, at times, to understand. She withstood this assault on her life and profession and came out as an example of dignity and truth in the field of historical academics. To be perfectly honest I fail to understand how this trial ever had to take place. I can only assume that David Irving believed he could intimidate the professor and she would run scare. And why was there a trial when Irving's writings so clearly espoused exactly how he felt about anyone he considered inferior to himself, a white male. The truth was in black and white long before Professor Lipstadt wrote her book. An important decision, a must win, but unfortunately those deniers and revisionists are still very hard at work. If the world would stop giving them a stage perhaps they would cease to espouse their hate and bigotry.
A fantastic book primarily comprised of schadenfreude and competence porn. Detailing Lipstadt's libel trial after naming a British "historian" as a Holocaust denier and antisemite, the book manages to keep the reader interested even when the results of the trial are never in doubt. This book is about the journey rather than the destination. Despite the lack of any real tension, I loved it. Reading about Lipstadt's team as they research, strategize, and present their case made for great reading. It's a book about smart people being smart, teaming up to shame someone who rightly deserved shaming, and it just works.
Deborah Lipstadt’s meticulous memoir of the libel suit brought against her by Holocaust denier “historian†David Irving will draw you in and weave its way into your thoughts. Her detailed recounting of the leadup to and the conduct of a five month trial in the British Royal Courts is fascinating and never tedious. So much to think about her, and so much to learn. Historical methods, the nature of truth, the complexities of freedom of speech and thought, the law of libel, courtroom procedure and trial,strategy, all set against the background of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Can’t wait to see the movie.
