Lipstadt shows how Holocaust denial thrives in the current atmosphere of value relativism, and argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but undermines the very tenets of objective scholarship that support our faith in historical knowledge.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368257061087,"sku":"9780452272743","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/bVWOgu0S-P9780452272743.webp?v=1789125124"},{"product_id":"denial-holocaust-history-on-trial-paperback","title":"Denial: Holocaust History on Trial - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNow a major motion picture starring Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"A compelling book: memoir and courtroom drama, a work of historical and legal import. \" -- Jewish Week\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeborah Lipstadt, author of the groundbreaking \u003cem\u003eDenying the Holocaust\u003c\/em\u003e, chronicles her six-year legal battle with controversial British World War II historian David Irving that culminated in a sensational 2000 trial in London\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her acclaimed 1993 book \u003cem\u003eDenying the Holocaust\u003c\/em\u003e, Deborah Lipstadt called putative World War II historian David Irving \"one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial\", a conclusion that she reached by examining his cunning manipulations of evidence, partisanship to Hitler, persistent exoneration of the Third Reich, and his confirmed celebrity among swelling ranks of anti-Semitic organizations internationally.
