At Thursday's Holocaust Conference: Deborah Lipstadt

Waited Thursday evening to hear the speech by Deborah Lipstadt “History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving”, and was of two minds about it, it made my return plans by bus rather late.  Her speech turned out to be really good.  When she had listed this other author as a Holocaust Denier in her book, he sued her.  The trial was in London, and she won.  David Irving at one point said he believed that during such a trial a person in her position as defendant would “crack up and cop out” – and she stood up to this.  And really won.  The terms“crack up and cop out” relate in some way to slurs against mental health.  It was very good to hear her speak.
