David Irving: Controversial historian to speak in Oregon

Activists plan to hold a vigil on Monday to protest a lecture in Eugene by David Irving, a British historian who was jailed in Austria for once saying there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

Irving, who specializes in the military history of World War II, has been invited to speak by the Pacifica Forum, a local discussion group founded by retired University of Oregon professor Orval Etter.
