The case is being heard during Jan 2000, at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, England. Lipstadt is fully supported by her university, and Penguin who published her book, 'Denying the Holocaust.'

Others point out they are able to use the tours for research or to gain experiences they could never afford to take.

The tour leaders receive around 100-200 pounds sterling per day.
