British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.
He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989.
“I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz,” he told the court in the Austrian capital. [.continue.]
He was detained back in November, I wrote about it here.
Wow, 3 years in jail for thinking an event that happened 60 years ago did not happen.
He did write about it, but still 3 years in prison?
That’s just crazy talk, kind of like Irving’s views on the holocaust.
Remind me not to go to Europe, so I don’t get jail time for anything I write on this blog.
