Monday, July 19, 2004 David
Irving comments:
I have as yet made no
firm engagements to speak in New
Zealand. If and when I
travel Down Under, I shall certainly be
researching in the New Zealand national
archives for my biography,
"Churchills War", vol. iii: "The
Sundered Dream", due for publication next
year. I have received many
invitations from private and academic
bodies to speak, and there is huge
interest from ordinary Kiwis in hearing me
speak there again. I would have thought
that the New Zealand government would
quietly advise the country's Jewish
Council that in present circumstances
it would do well to keep its profile
low. At least I wouldn't be
travelling on a quadraplegic's stolen
passport wearing a balaclava and
sunglasses. | Ban
sought for controversial writer THE Jewish community has asked
the Government to keep controversial author
David Irving out of the country. The New Zealand Jewish Council said Irving, who
had indicated he planned to visit in September, was
"well-known for his anti-Jewish writings and
activities, and was found by the High Court in
London in 2002 to be racist, [and] an
active Holocaust denier". [Write to the NZ Herald's
