In 1996, Holocaust denier David Irving sued historian Deborah Lipstadt, claiming she had libeled him in her book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. The case was tried in England, Irving's home country, and Lipstadt was forced to prove the Holocaust's validity in court.

Irving and Lipstadt's conflicts are the subject of the new movie "Denial," in which Rachel Weisz plays Lipstadt and Timothy Spall plays Irving. Written by David Hare ("The Hours," "The Reader") and directed by Mick Jackson ("The Bodyguard," "Temple Grandin"), "Denial" showcases a battle of historical proportions. The movie opens Sept. 30.
