Denial
Author Deborah Lipstadt and her legal team battle to prove that the Holocaust did take place when Deborah is sued for libel by English author David Irving, a denier.
In 1993 Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books published Denying the Holocaust. Two years later the English author David Irving sued her for libel on the grounds that her book had ruined his once well-regarded career as an historian by accusing him of deliberately distorting historical facts. The resulting court case puts the onus on her legal team to prove that the Holocaust did indeed take place. Based on a true story.
