from January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a high-profile libel Case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt\'s book, Denying the Holocaust (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier.
Irving had based his alleged denial of the Holocaust in part on a 1988 report by an American execution specialist, Fred Leucht.
The question about the Evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings.
