Abstract

Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | October 3, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

The author of the article presents his views on Robert Faurisson's and David Irving's writings. Faurisson disagrees with Irving about both the occurrence of the massacres and the responsibility for deaths as did occur. He attributes this to the inevitable side-effects of war. He is contemptuous of Irving as a historian and, oddly for a man with such insistence on detail, has no memory of Irving's Madagascar statement. He insists that he himself is guided in his quest by no prejudice and no ulterior motive, merely art imperative to pursue objective and verifiable truth. Both Faurisson and Irving have been subjected to a lot of stupid censorship and harassment for their writings, and it has been known for persecution to distort judgment.
