    Munich state court spokeswoman Andrea Titz said 51-year-old Sylvia Stolz was convicted of inciting racial hatred for denying the Holocaust in a 2012 speech. She argued during her trial that she was exercising her right to free speech.

    Stolz already served time for Holocaust denial after a 2008 conviction related to her defense of notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, who was convicted himself of the crime in Mannheim in 2007.

    Zundel’s initial Mannheim trial collapsed after Stolz was banned from the proceedings on grounds she was trying to sabotage them. During the trial, she repeatedly denied the Holocaust and ended a legal document with “Heil Hitler.”

    Scary, but has Germany ever seen a better prophet than Moses with the newspaper in his hands? I guess the enemy can not dance further in the criminal jail cell of his or her youth. Good day!

    I’m sure there’s a gas chamber somewhere she could try out. Just for research purposes, to prove her point.

    The free speech aspect doesn’t concern anyone? It’s no chiddush to protect good speech…the acid test is evil, hateful speech.

    Just as paranoid racist low-life is protected when he or she writes that the President is an anti-Semitic Muslim, or worse, a person in this country would be protected if he or she denied the Churban Europe.
