Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory is a 1993 book by the historian Deborah Lipstadt, in which the author discusses the Holocaust denial movement. Lipstadt named British writer David Irving as a Holocaust denier, leading him to sue her unsuccessfully for libel (see "Irving v Penguin Books Ltd"). She gives a detailed explanation of how people came to deny the Holocaust or claim that it was vastly exaggerated by the Jews.
