David Irving Quotes

It [the Holocaust] is something like a religion.... The Intellectual Adventure is that we are reversing this entire trend within the space of one generation - that in a few years time no one will believe this particular legend anymore. They will say, as I do, that atrocities were committed. Yes, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, but there were no factories of death. All that is a blood libel against the German people.

Without Hitler, the State of Israel probably would not exist today. To that extent he was probably the Jews' greatest friend.

I don't think there was any overall Reich policy to kill the Jews. If there was, they would have been killed and there would not be now so many millions of survivors. And believe me, I am glad for every survivor that there was.

I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

...the incontrovertible evidence is that Hitler ordered on November 30, 1941, that there was to be 'no liquidation of the Jews.'

History is like a constantly changing tree.

Yes, there were gas chambers. Millions of Jews died. There is no question. I don't know the figures. I'm not an expert on the Holocaust.

The Nazis quite clearly killed millions of Jews.

...the discovery, that at no time did this man (Hitler) pose or intend a real threat to Britain or the Empire.

I have no academic qualifications whatsoever.

Holocaust denial is not only a falsification of history, it is an expression of anti-Semitism.

I still think, perhaps I'm a bit old fashioned - that truth matters. I think truth matters particularly when it concerns an event of such horrendous quality. Holocaust was the worst, probably the worst massacre, if you'd like to call it that, in the world's history - considering the scale of it and the fact that it was done deliberately during wartime.

It's very difficult to get to the truth and ironically, in the Information Age, which we would have thought meant channels to the truth is in fact obfuscating the truth.
