Jako ze kiedys na lisie pojawilo sie nazwisko Davida Irvinga, pozwalam sobie na [FWD] informacji: [...] CNN/TIME oznajmilo, ze w niedziele, 16 stycznia 2000, nadany zostanie 15-minutowy wywiad z Davidem Irvingiem. W poprzednio ogloszonym terminie, 9 stycznia, program zostal odwolany bez zadnych wyjasnien. "HOLOCAUST ON TRIAL" Times: 9 pm EST Sunday night / 2am GMT Monday morning 4 am EST / 9 am GMT Monday Midday EST / 5 pm GMT Monday LATEST NEWS: http://www.fpp.co.uk/online.html CNN: " THE Holocaust -- five to six million Jews systematically exterminated by the Nazis. It is an unquestionable matter of fact… right? As surprising as it may seem, the actual events of the Holocaust will come into question this week as a much-anticipated trial gets underway in Great Britain. British historian David Irving has said there is no documented evidence to prove that there were gas chambers at the Auschwitz concentration camp or that Hitler ordered the extermination of Europe's Jews. When Deborah Lipstadt, a professor of Jewish studies at Atlanta's Emory University, accused him of "joining the ranks of Holocaust deniers" in her book Denying the Holocaust, Irving sued Lipstadt for libel. Irving has been a widely published and well-respected British historian who wrote on the human tragedy inflicted on the city of Dresden by Allied bombers and uncovered documents belonging to the inner circle of Germany's Nazi leadership. He has questioned aspects of the Holocaust, such as the existence of gas chambers and how many Jews were killed by the Nazis. After Lipstadt's book was released in the United Kingdom in 1995, Irving filed a libel suit. British law places the burden of proof on the defendant in libel suits; now Lipstadt must prove that Irving denies the existence of the Holocaust. CNN & TIME's [Charles] Glass explores this complicated case and speaks with Irving and his critics about the issues surrounding it. The case of Irving versus Lipstadt could take months. And David Irving says he expects to spend a good deal of that time being cross-examined about his views on the Nazis and World War II."[...] -------------------- W.G.
