DESCRIPTION:Conspiracy theories about recent and even more distant historic
 al events have become ever more widespread\, especially with the growth of 
 the Internet. One such theory\, generally known as "Holocaust denial"\, cla
 ims that professional historians\, the mass media\, and governments have co
 nspired to suppress the truth about the Nazi extermination of the Jews duri
 ng the Second World War - which is that it never happened.   
\n
\nHow has 
 this theory come about? Who supports it \, and why? How do its proponents d
 eal with their critics? What\, if anything\, could or should be done to com
 bat Holocaust denial? This talk draws on the speaker's experiences as an ex
 pert witness in a High Court libel case to suggest some answers.
