MANNHEIM, Germany (AP) - Ernst Zundel, a German white supremacist extradited from Canada on accusations he repeatedly denied the Holocaust, returned to court Thursday to face charges of incitement, libel and disparaging the dead.
German authorities accuse Zundel of decades of anti-Semitic activities, including repeated denials of the Holocaust - a crime in his native Germany and some other European countries - in documents and on the Internet.Zundel, 66, who once lived in Tennessee and was deported from Canada last year, faces a maximum five years in jail if convicted.
The International Auschwitz Committee has said survivors of the death camp see the trial as an important part of the campaign against Holocaust deniers.Two prominent deniers were recently detained in Europe - British historian David Irving, who is in Austrian custody, and Germar Rudolf, who was deported back to his native Germany from the United States.
Zundel and his supporters argue that he is a peaceful campaigner denied his right to free speech and view his trial as a chance to attack alleged Western double standards and promote their views.<snip>They have also seized on how European newspaper editors have invoked the right to free speech to defend the publication of provocative caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.
but maybe it didn't happen, maybe they created all this bullshit in studios and shit, juste like they did when they said they walked on the moon and we all know these are false photographies that were taken in nevada's cavern. And just like the ufos in roswell and all this bullshit
it's a serious crime to publically deny the holocaust in germany.it's not even about political correctness.it's a SPECIFIC crime.germany is just doing everything it can to get rid of the ww2 image.
