Irving expands on Holocaust views
Edited on Tue Feb-28-06 10:01 AM by alarcojon
Jailed British historian David Irving has again said he does not believe Hitler presided over a systematic attempt to exterminate Jews in Europe.

During his trial in Austria, Irving said he had changed his mind over claims the Holocaust did not happen.

But, speaking from his cell later, he told BBC News the numbers killed at Auschwitz were smaller than claimed.

He is appealing for a reduction in the three-year jail term. Prosecutors are seeking for it to be lengthened.


Much more at...

3. I agree with you
Laws against expressing certain opinions are unacceptable.
