Screw her. Made a good man suffer in jail for questioning the genocide in Germany. They even made a film about the whole ordeal painting Irving as a genocide denier even though he is not.

True that. "Denier" was such a terrible movie. "Muh feelz!!!" And the Irving character as so 2D and didn't get a chance to even talk. Typical Hollywood.

Meh, some softball BS as part of a book tour. Typical AMA.

she played a major roll in anyone believing in the holohoax in the first place, before that no respected historians talked about it, they knew it was a hoax and didn't purposely disprove it which I agree isn't great but they just didn't talk about it.

Hollywood didn't touch it until the 1970s on.
