The Case for Auschwitz - Evidence from the Irving Trial (Paperback)

From January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a
high-profile libel case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt
in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt's book, Denying
the Holocaust (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier. The
question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a
central role in these proceedings. Irving had based his alleged
denial of the Holocaust in part on a 1988 report by an American
execution specialist, Fred Leuchter, which claimed that there was
no evidence for homicidal gas chambers in Auschwitz. In connection
with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural
historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge
that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one
million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing
painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted
an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in
cross-examination in court.
