not quite archaeology, but: if they can't decide what happened 50-60 years ago,
with living witnesses and all, what chance do we have with archaeology?


**Irving ready for court battle over Holocaust** (England)
The most emotive libel trial to be heard in Britain is due to start next
week in what is billed as the most far-reaching court case
about the Holocaust since the execution of Adolf Eichmann. The British
historian, David Irving, who has been widely vilified for questioning
whether 6m Jews were killed by the Nazis - and who believes that Hitler
knew nothing of the Final Solution until late in the war - is
suing an American academic for claiming that he is a "Hitler partisan" who
twists history to cast the German dictator in a better light.
Deborah Lipstadt, professor of modern Jewish and Holocaust studies at
Emory university in Atlanta, Georgia, accused Mr Irving of being one of
the most prominent and dangerous "Holocaust deniers" in the world in her
book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault On Truth and
Memory, published by Penguin four years ago.
