A selection of David Irving's controversial opinions
On Auschwitz
"There are so many Auschwitz survivors going around, in fact the number increases as the years go past, which is biologically very odd to say the least . . . I'm going to form an Association of Auschwitz Survivors, Survivors of the Holocaust and Other Liars, or the A-S-S-H-O-L-S . . . you've got to be tasteless because these people deserve all our contempt."
On Auschwitz Gas Chambers
"More women died on the back seat of Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz."
On Hitler
"He's like the proverbial curate's egg - good in parts."
On Germany
"Germany is still an occupied zone. The German soul is still an occupied soul."
Rhyme for his daughter
"I am a Baby Aryan/Not Jewish or Sectarian/I have no plans to marry an/Ape or Rastafarian."
On his Viennese prison
"They treat me like a star and are very friendly. Someone even secretly knocked on my door and asked me for an autograph."
