Owner of Holocaust Denial Website Faces German Court

Lester Haines writes in The Register:

German Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel - whose website (extreme political views and NSFW) pretty well claims outright that the Nazi extermination of the Jews didn't happen - is on trial in Germany on charges relating to 14 pieces of printed and internet written material which use "pseudo-scientific methods to try and rewrite the accepted history of the Nazi Holocaust".

He also faces charges of incitement, libel and "disparaging the dead", the BBC reports. Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany, and Zündel was previously fined €6,400 on a 1991 trip to Germany from Canada where he had sought refuge in 1958.
