Notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zndel dies in Germany
Convicted Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel, who served jail time for inciting racial hatred, has died in Germany at the age of 78, local media reported on Monday.
Zündel, one of the leading figures in the denial movement, died on Saturday at his home in the southwestern spa town of Bad Wildbad, his sister Ingrid was quoted by DPA news agency as saying.
Zündel, who lived in Canada for decades before being extradited in 2005 over his anti-Semitic views, was sentenced to five years' prison by a German court in 2007 for repeatedly disputing the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis in the Second World War.
He was freed in 2010, with time spent behind bars before his trial counted as part of his sentence.

To paraphrase Bette Davis:
You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Ernst Zündel is dead. Good!
May his supporters and other anti-Semites (and their casual defenders) follow his lead and be nothing more than a pathetic footnote in history!
