Irving faces protesters
David Irving— the British citizen who publicly
promotes the theory that the Nazi Holocaust did
not happen— was met by an angry crowd o f pro
testers during his visit to a Portland church Oct. 10.
An estim ated 200 protesters representing an
array o f groups including the Coalition for Human
Dignity, the American Jewish Committee, Ecu
menical M inistries o f Oregon, and Congregation
Havurah Shalom attended a vigil outside o f Colo
nial Heights Presbyterian Church in Southeast
Portland. About 100 people attended Irving’s
speech inside the church.
“ Irving trades on his reputation as a ‘historian’
to spread anti-Semitic propaganda and to rehabili
tate the Third Reich,” says Steven Gardiner, CHD
research director. “The ultimate effect o f Irving’s
Holocaust denial is to promote a new Nazi move
ment that has taken its toll in human lives.”
According to Gardiner, Irving is banned in five
countries— Austria, Australia, Canada, France and
G erm any— and has strong ties to the European
neo-Nazi movement. CHD says it has found evi
dence that Irving’s speaking date was handled by
a “ neo-Nazi organization called Northwest Con
cern, which seeks to create an all-white ‘Aryan
state’ in the Pacific Northwest.”
