LIPSTADT PART OF U.S. AUSCHWITZ DELEGATION
Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies, was a member of the presidential delegation to Poland that attended the 60 th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on Thursday, Jan. 27.

The delegation was led by Vice President Dick Cheney and included Lipstadt, Nobel Peace Prize-winning author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, and others.

Lipstadt is author of Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory , the first full-length study of those who attempt to deny the Holocaust.

In 2000, Lipstadt decisively won a libel trial in London against a Holocaust denier who sued her in a British court. Lipstadt's latest book is an account of her legal triumph, titled History on Trial, and is set for publication Feb. 4.
