C/H/20. Does David Irving symbolize a crisis in history?

This discussion is not going to explore whether David Irving is right in his view in regards to his denial of the extremes that occurred within the Holocaust; rather it is going to ask whether he has the right to deny it. The crisis in history in the case of David Irving may not be the fact that he denied the Holocaust, but the fact that he was imprisoned for this belief. The question of whether one believes David Irving or not is the evidence that we have to produce, but both sides of the argument has to be available for the individual to discern for themselves. If evidence, such as David Irving's, is suppressed this breeds ignorance and greater danger of anti-Semitic believes and incitement and as Lipstadt argues his view should not be suppressed by the law, but exposed academics rebuttal through evidence and truth.
