Irvingus Anonymus
1989 - David Irving Claims during lectures in Vienna and Leoben that the "gas chambers in Auschwitz never existed".
Feb 2006 - During his trial in Austria, David Irving acknowledges that millions of Jews died in World War II; he no longer disputes the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz.
Feb 2006 - After being sentenced, David Irving has again said he does not believe Hitler presided over a systematic attempt to exterminate Jews in Europe.
So much for scientific speech consistency. . . sadly though, there is no need for consistency in these kind of speeches; All you need is 'air time' - plenty of it, which too many journalists were only too glad to give him these days, as part of the greater freedom of speech debate....
Ellie Wiesel said: "Let us forgive, but let us not forget; because he who forgets the past stands at risk of re-living it"...
The worst version of it is that you don't even need to forget it...The past can be directly re-written...just trust all the Irvings out there to do the job....hey, it's scientific research, freely and independently commented and argued...
