Prof. Deborah Lipstadt Exclusive Interview - Denial

Stefan Pape from HeyUGuys interviews Prof. Deborah Lipstadt for the movie Denial based on the real-life story of David Irving, the man who claims the Holocaust never actually happened with Deborah Lipstadt proving him wrong.

Based on the acclaimed book Denial: Holocaust History on Trial, Denial recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt’s (Academy Award® winner Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (BAFTA nominee Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the English legal system, in cases of libel, the burden of proof is on the defendant, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team led by Richard Rampton (Academy Award® nominee Tom Wilkinson), to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

Denial is released in UK cinemas on the 27th of January 2017.

May I note before this video played, YouTube asked me to confirm an agreement that I would be watching INAPPROPRIATE content?? It's history friends. The deaths of the innocent were the crime not the content of this conversation.

Professor Deborah is amazing. I had the solemn privilege to go to Auschwitz. Being Polish, it had great significance in my life

[freemason]

C'mon people, the trial was hardly that conclusive. Lipstadt had 10-15$m and Irwing had himself. And it all came down to paid experts in the end.

The vile inarticulate comments posted below are so depressing.

[hankvance]

they got the wrong actors for the film, david irving looks much better than that guy, and lipstadt wasn't that young and pretty

[crazydrivers]

This woman mocked Irving's disabled daughter's suicide. Thoroughly revolting, dishonest human being.

i guess even henry kissinger didn't even bother to watch this rubbish but would rather listen to irving? ye?

[kaiser]

No mrs Lipstadt, , you didnt want supposed "Holocaust survivors"contradicting themselves in the witness stand, that is why you and your team {Anthony julius} who is also jewish, decided not to call them to testify, , the whole world would have seen the TRUTH mrs Lipstadt, and that is why you never took the stand, this pathetic film fools NOBODY, your arguments are weak and pathetic, the judge in this case was backed into a corner as so happens in such circumstances, just be ashamed of yourself Mrs Lipstadt.
