ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Deborah E. Lipstadt is the author of many highly regarded books on the subject of the Holocaust and antisemitism, including her most recent work, Antisemitism Here and Now, which won the 2019 National Jewish Book Award. Her book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier (2006) recounted her experience of being sued for libel by David Irving, a UK Holocaust denier. Lipstadt’s victory in this seminal court case is regarded as having “done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations.” The book was made into the movie ‘Denial’ starring Rachel Weisz and Tom Wilkenson with screenplay by David Hare. It was nominated for a BAFTA award as one of the best British films of the year. Lipstadt was appointed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council by Presidents Clinton and Obama, and she was asked by President George W. Bush to represent the White House at the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
