Polish authorities have turned the site of the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz into a “Disney-style” tourist attraction, the Daily Mail quoted notorious revisionist historian and Holocaust-denier David Irving as saying on Friday.
In the Friday Daily Mail report, Irving went on to accuse Polish authorities of neglecting other less “marketable,” more authentic death camps, which “don’t have a Holiday Inn down the road,” in favor of Auschwitz.
“I have been a historian for 40 years, I know a fake when I see it, when you look at old photographs of Auschwitz, those towers aren’t on the photographs,” the Daily Mail quoted Irving as saying.
The convicted Holocaust-denier added that there was “no question that the Nazis killed millions of people in these camps,” adding that “when people call me a Holocaust denier I get quite hot under the collar.”
