In 1996, David Irving sued Deborah Lipstadt for libel (in the &#8220;Irving vs Penguin Books Ltd&#8221; trial) because Deborah Lipstadt had said Irving was a Holocaust Denier. Historian Richard Evans was called upon as an expert witness, and he examined Irving&#8217;s works for two years, discovering many major factual errors in David Irving&#8217;s works. Richard Evans came to the conclusion that Irving cannot even be classed as a &#8220;historian&#8221;, and says &#8220;not one sentence&#8221; in any of his speeches or written works can be trusted. Richard Evan&#8217;s <em>Telling Lies About Hitler<\/em> presents a solid case against David Irving that casts serious doubt about every &#8220;historical&#8221; text that Irving wrote, and this video presents 3 examples from Evan&#8217;s brilliant book (this video is not a sponsored video, I genuinely think Evan&#8217;s book is brilliant and you should get yourself a copy) that really should make you question the opinions of those who still promote Irving&#8217;s works.<\/p>\n<p>Holocaust deniers may continue to deny that the &#8220;Final Solution to the Jewish Question&#8221; took place, but in actively distorting the evidence, they undermine their own cause. The term &#8220;distorian&#8221; describes their &#8220;writers&#8221; better than the term &#8220;historian&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And, in case it isn&#8217;t blatantly obvious, I&#8217;m NOT a Fascist, NOT a Nazi, NOT a Marxist, and am NOT promoting said evil ideologies. This video is for educational and historical purposes, so that we may learn from the past and prevent it from repeating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcda BIBLIOGRAPHY \/ SOURCES \ud83d\udcda<\/p>\n<p>Evans, R. <em>In Defence of History<\/em>.

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question &#8211; &#8220;But is this really the case?&#8221; I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I&#8217;m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.<\/p>\n<p>This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature.
