Do you think holocaust denial should be made illegal in Britain?
We want your views. From the January issue of BBC History Magazine, we’ll be introducing a new section where we gauge your opinion on the key historical story of the month. To start with, holocaust denial is the news again.

Controversial revisionist historian David Irving was arrested in Austria recently on charges of denying the holocaust. In 2000 Irving lost a high court libel case against American academic Deborah Lipstadt who had accused him of Holocaust denial.

Austria is one of a number of European countries, including France, Germany and Belgium where it is an offence to deny the holocaust.
