Résumé:
From January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a high-profile libel case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt’s book, ''Denying the Holocaust'' (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier. The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.

Résumé:
Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's 'The Evidence Room' is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz-arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility. 'The Evidence Room' is both a companion piece to, and an elaboration of, the upcoming exhibit at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale and at the Canadian Center for Architecture, based on van Pelt's authoritative testimony against Holocaust denial in a 2000 libel suit argued before the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
