Environmentalist sentenced for denial of 'Holocaust' dogma

NSNS  Wednesday, 25 July 2007

ERLANGEN, Germany - Well-known environmentalist Dr. Johannes Lerle,
55, was sentenced in mid-June by an Erlangen court to one year in prison
for alleged "racial incitement." The charge stems from his "public denial
or minimizing of National Socialist atrocities in a manner designed to
disturb the peace." 

Asked in an interview with the Catholic publication Kreuz (Cross) if he 
was a "Holocaust denier," Lerle said that such a question belongs in
the realm of religion. He pointed out that while one could deny the Holy
Trinity, the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection of Christ, the so-called
Holocaust had become a state-mandated article of faith in which
questioning of the manufacture of bars of soap and lampshades out of
human tissue by the National Socialists had become a punishable offense. 

Lerle declared that he was prepared to stand for the truth agains the lie,
regardless of the consquences.
