Atlanta, GABritish historian and author David Irving will be speaking in Atlanta on Friday, August 8th 2008. The visit is part of a book tour of the United States on which Mr. Irving embarked in May and which will end on September 5th. The tour has brought him to various cities across the nation.
Mr. Irving is the author of numerous historical works including The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Uprising! (1981), Churchill's War (1987), and Goebbels — Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). Aside from being a renowned author and historian, within recent years Mr. Irving, age 70, also became a political prisoner after being arrested in Austria in November of 2005 for the fictitious thought crime of "holocaust denial". These charges sprang from a speech Mr. Irving had given in Austria nineteen years earlier, in 1989. He was sentenced to 3 years in an Austrian prison and was later released and expelled from the zionist controlled country.
Local jews in the Atlanta area, including Emory University's holocaust indoctrination expert Deborah Lipstadt, have demanded that citizens ignore Mr. Irving's visit. "He's always been denying the holocaust and he's never stopped denying the holocaust," Lipstadt said. "He's really a man who's been declared not just by the British courts but the Austrian courts to be an unrepentant holocaust denier, a racist, and an anti-semite."
For security purposes, the exact location of Mr. Irving's Atlanta speech and book signing has not yet been released to the public. Those interested in attending this event can call 305-923-6779 or visit the Focal Point Publications website for location and ticket information.
Following his stop in Atlanta Mr. Irving will be visiting cities in South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Colorado, Wisconsin and Illinois before returning to England in September where he will launch the English edition of his prison memoirs, Banged Up.
