The David Irving Trial refers to a legal case in 2000 where British historian David Irving sued American historian Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher for libel. Irving claimed that Lipstadt's book, which labeled him a Holocaust denier, damaged his reputation. The trial took place in London and attracted significant media attention. During the trial, the court examined Irving's writings and views on the Holocaust. The judge ultimately ruled in favor of Lipstadt, stating that Irving had distorted historical facts and was not a credible historian. This verdict reinforced the importance of accurate historical scholarship regarding the Holocaust.
