Nonsensical Statement[edit]
"... therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team, led by Richard Rampton (Tom Wilkinson), to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred." The veracity of "the Holocaust" or his "essential truth" weren't what the trial was about, although defending that proposition was of course the bigger issue at hand. David Irving accused her of libel for being called a "Holocaust Denier". What the Lipstadt team had to prove was that this label was somehow warranted and NOT just a wrongful accusation she was making. A term like "Holocaust Denier" is quite ambiguous for several reasons as this is loaded language and can mean several things. Ironically proving her point costed Lipstadt millions of pounds in terms of lawyers and several paid "experts". She got quite substantial donations for doing this and Irving had to face a civil lawsuit ultimately bankrupting him. David Irving also made the big mistake of rejecting experts that would support his case, which on it's own would again touch on the veracity of the Holocaust? --41.151.208.219 (talk) 19:16, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
No Blueprints[edit]
I wonder if the movies shows where the real David Irving confronts this woman asking her to show the blueprints for the gas chambers at Auschwitz she claimed to have? He even offered $1000 in cash. But, she hasn't shown the blueprints. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:4A88:6F00:A9DD:E0F3:3697:657E (talk) 00:44, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
That's very interesting. with the whole Palestinians and majority of them believe the same, it does seem no blue print existed. 83.209.219.135 (talk) 22:30, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
