Controversial author ejected from Warsaw book fair

 Irving is known for questioning the Holocaust in his books, in particular denying the existence of the gas chambers. Cywinski said that when he found out Irving was at the book fair he informed the organizers and police. Cywinski said there was a possibility that Irving might voice his revisionist views during meetings with readers. Irving responded saying he thought that there was democracy and freedom of speech in Poland. He said that it is an immense dishonor for Poles. When asked by Rzeczpospolita whether gas chambers were built after Germans left Auschwitz, he said he did not want comment as he does not want to go to prison again.
