When Rachel Weisz took on her latest role in Denial, she knew it would be a moving project — but never imagined just how personal it would become.
In the film, Weisz plays professor Deborah Lipstadt, the woman who won a historic 2000 court case defeating prominent Holocaust denier David Irving.
“I had heard about the trial, but I didn’t know about it in any great detail,” the actress tells People in this week’s issue. “About a month before we began filming, Deborah and I sat in my kitchen for a couple of days and talked. The deniers called it the Holohoax.
