David Irving, un historien et un militaire reconnu dans son milieu, a semé la controverse en commençant à citer une étude peu estimée dans le milieu selon laquelle l'Holocauste n'aurait jamais eu lieu et serait en fait une invention de l'esprit. En 1993, Deborah E. Lipstadt qualifie Irving de négationniste, ce qui lui vaudra une poursuite en cour pour calomnie. Comme le fardeau de la preuve revient à l'accusé dans le système judiciaire anglais, Deborah E. Lipstadt devra alors prouver que l'Holocauste a bien eu lieu afin de gagner sa cause. Il ne s'agit pas d'une mince tâche, mais sa réputation et sa liberté en dépendent et l'auteure fera tout pour le prouver.
