The heroine who studied the history of the Jewish Holocaust was sued by Owen, who denied the Holocaust, for defamation. The British lawyers who accepted the case chose not to let the survivors testify, but instead focused on the loopholes in Owen's academic works and the motive of lying to portray Owen as a man. Radical anti-Semitic racist. In the end, the British court ruled in favor of the heroine. This is a film based on a true event, the significance of which is to pass the law to confirm the existence of the Holocaust during World War II. The most influential sentences "The world is full of cowards, I always have a nervous feeling that I am one of them", "stay seated, button your lip, win" The plot arrangement is relatively bland; The scene of the argue in the courthouse. In content, it can only be regarded as a politically correct work. But this is the first time I saw a movie of this genre, and I really appreciate this kind of movie that respects the facts and doesn't change much.

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?
