Dr. Deborah Lipstadt at Celebration of Caring
Dr. Deborah Lipstadt is a Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. In 1996, she was sued for libel in a British court by the infamous Holocaust denier, David Irving. After years of litigation and a riveting 10-week trial that coveted worldwide attention, the judge ruled in favor of Dr. Lipstadt, and found Irving to be a racist, falsifier of history, and anti-Semite. The Times (London) described this case as “history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.”
