Browning, Christopher

Browing is one of the most prolific orthodox Holocaust scholars. He first crossed swords with revisionists during the first Zündel trial in Canada in 1985, during which he testified as an expert witness for the prosecution.

Browning has been the repeated target of revisionist criticism.
