US President Joe Biden on Friday announced Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt as his pick for US antisemitism envoy.
Lipstadt is best known for her legal victory over Holocaust denier David Irving after he sued her in a British court for defamation over branding him a Holocaust denier. Her 2005 book, “History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier,” was made into a 2016 film where Rachel Weisz played Lipstadt.
