You are free to express your opinion, but you cannot support your opinion by falsifying history and denying the truth

Great team of lawyers. The rational, calm and down-to-earth evidence collection of the British is different from the passionate debate in American lawyer dramas, but it is more convincing and admirable. The focus is not on the moral judgment of the opponent's anti-Semitism and Hitler's worship, but on the academic morality of writing history books as a historian, whether to falsify history for one's own political position and deny the truth.

Love the heroine, also has a good performance in "The Immortal Gardener"

    First of all, it's true that in the early 1900s, a British idiot historian denied that the Holocaust happened, and took the opponent who pointed out that he was a "Holocaust denier" to court, and it was decided whether the Holocaust happened. A court decision; it's ridiculous, but it happened in the early 2000s; if a person really believes what he thinks, and expresses those views, should it be upheld? In this case, the answer is no.

    A mediocre running account drama. It is true that the criticism of the "Holocaust deniers" is fair, but it is very shallow. The differences between the Anglo-American legal systems, the logical motivations and psychology of Holocaust deniers, etc., are not deeply explored. Completely "one-sided". The important courtroom scenes are also a bit muddled. The female protagonist and the Virgin Mary died again, which made people feel disgusted. two and a half stars

Denial quotes

  • Richard Rampton: They're a strange thing consciences. Trouble is, what feels best isn't necessarily what works best.

  • David Irving: [first lines; in a video speaking to a sympathetic audience] I don't see any reason to be tasteful about Auschwitz. I say to you quite tastelessly that more women died on the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber at Auschwitz.

    [audience laughing and applauding]

    Deborah Lipstadt: Holocaust denial rests on four basic assertions. Number 1: That there was never any systematic or organized attempt by the Nazis to kill all of Europe's Jews. Number 2: That the numbers are far fewer than five or six million. Number 3: That there were no gas chambers or specially built extermination facilities. Number 4: That the Holocaust is therefore a myth invented by Jews to get themselves financial compensation and to further the fortunes of the State of Israel. War, the deniers say, is a bloody business. There's nothing special about the Jews, they're not unique in their suffering. They're just everyday casualties of war. What's the fuss?

    Deborah Lipstadt: Okay, and here's another question, how do we know the Holocaust happened? Seriously. I'm asking. How do we prove it? Photographic evidence? Not one person in this room or outside it has ever seen a photograph of a Jew inside a gas chamber. You know why? Because the Germans made sure that none were ever taken. So how do we know? How do we *know* that so many were murdered? So what's the proof? Where's the proof? How strong is it?
