The Germany of today is not the Germany of the past: Lawyer Silvia Stolz was sentenced to 20 months in prison by a German court after giving a speech in which she denied the Holocaust, the website geschichtsrevision.de reported.
This is not the first time Stolz has been accused of Holocaust denial. In 2008, she defended the famous Holocaust denier Ernst Zindel, and was sentenced to a long prison term for it. Her license as a lawyer was also revoked for this period.
Stolz's statements about the existence of the Holocaust are well-known in Germany, as are her and her friends' statements that Germany has been under 'foreign rule' since 1945.
According to Article 3 of the German Penal Code, the legal authorities are authorized to punish anyone who denies the fact that under the National Socialist regime, a Holocaust took place, the purpose of which was to destroy the Jewish population as an ethnic or religious group.
During her trial, Stolz argued for the principle of 'freedom of expression,' but the court rejected her claim and ruled that she had 'abused' this basic right to cast doubt on the existence of the Holocaust.
Tultz also made another claim to 'I Spoke True' regarding her claim that no evidence was found proving that mass genocide actually took place.
The court rejected these claims outright.
