Hundreds of thousands view Deborah Lipstadt talk on Holocaust denial

 

 

The Emory University historian is best known for her successful defence of a libel action brought by Irving in 2000.

Irving sued after Prof Lipstadt labelled him a denier in her book, “Denying The Holocaust: The Growing Assault On Truth And Memory”.

The case was the focus of the film Denial, which was released earlier this year starring Rachel Weisz as Prof Lipstadt.

In her TED talk, the historian criticised the Trump White House and highlighted far-right groups' contempt for evidence and facts.

She said: “We live in an age when truth is on the defensive.”
