Holocaust denial is a form of libel and incitement to racial hatred. It says the Jews have invented the Holocaust for their own purposes. Libel is rightly against the law as is incitement to racial hatred. Germany and Austria passed these laws post-war to counteract a revival of Nazism. Even today there are elderly Germans who still believe the SS vision was noble and heroic. What matters is that courts in London and Vienna have convited him of Holocaust denial and he has served time in prison.
