The Nazis quite clearly killed millions of Jews. (David Irving)

I don't think there was any overall Reich policy to kill the Jews. If there was, they would have been killed and there would not be now so many millions of survivors. And believe me, I am glad for every survivor that there was.

David Irving

There is no doubt at all that the Nazis in their twelve-year rule inflicted nameless horrors on large segments of their population, including the Jews, and other people whom they disliked. There's no doubt about that at all. What I do question are the methods...

David Irving

The interesting questions are what did Hitler know, did Himmler conceal it, did he keep it from Hitler, where was the killing done, was it Auschwitz, was it the Reinhard camps and that's what people are frightened to research, because they go to prison for it.

David Irving

I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

David Irving

History is like a constantly changing tree.

I have no academic qualifications whatsoever.

David Irving

I'm not going to say it was 'only' a hundred thousand Jews that were killed in Auschwitzs because even if one Jew is murdered that's a crime.

David Irving

What you're saying is 'Has a historian the right to offend?' and the answer is very definitely, yes.

David Irving

Without Hitler, the State of Israel probably would not exist today. To that extent he was probably the Jews' greatest friend.

David Irving

If the Jews were killed at Auschwitz or Treblinka or anywhere else...it wasn't a crime because they were Jews, it was a crime because they were innocent Jews who were being killed. It was their innocence that made...it a crime and not their Jewishness that made it a crime. (David Irving)
