INSPIRATION 'Denial' brings Emory professor's battle for historical truth to the big screen With the release of the new feature film "Denial," Emory professor Deborah Lipstadt reflects upon her landmark legal battle against a Holocaust denier and Emory's support as she fought to uphold historical truth. Lipstadt (right) is portrayed by Academy Award-winning actress Rachel Weisz in the film, which opens Oct. 7 in Atlanta. RESOURCES Emory's Holocaust Denial on Trial website redesigned, relaunched Holocaust Denial on Trial, a website founded by Emory professor Deborah Lipstadt, has been relaunched to coincide with the release of "Denial." The site refutes myths propagated by Holocaust deniers, including claims about the authenticity of Anne Frank's diary.
