Irving jailed
Disgraced historian, David Irving has been jailed for three years for Holocaust denial by an Austrian court.
Author and academic, Deborah Lipstadt who has previously called Irving a Holocaust denier and who he unsuccessfully sued in 2000 said she was dismayed.
“I am not happy when censorship wins, and I don’t believe in winning battles via censorship… The way of fighting Holocaust deniers is with history and with truth,” she told the BBC News website.
We shouldn’t be making martyrs out of idiots like Irving. We should be revealing them for the small minded bigots that they are.
