Not only does 87-year-old Ursula Haverbeck-Wetzel believe that the Holocaust never occurred, she believes that it is “the biggest and most sustainable lie in history,” an assessment she felt comfortable enough to share on German radio before thousands of listeners.
Yet for all her contrarian beliefs, Haverbeck-Wetzel has not once threatened the well-being of another person. Yes, she has had previous run-ins with the law, but in each case she was simply fined or had her sentence suspended. Today, however, she faces punishment that very well exceeds the nature of the act she committed.
Convicted of incitement of hatred by a German court, the 87-year-old has been sentenced to 10 months in prison. Such draconian punishment is part and parcel of Germany’s notoriously tough laws against hate speech, intended to help the country move beyond it’s Nazi past but resulting in the incarceration of people for simply speaking their mind, as regrettable as the contents of said minds might be.

Yet again another story that tells only a fraction of the truth to prop up a fictional narrative some manipulative trout on the left is pushing. Only thing more I’m going to say is: personal opinions are one thing and what this woman actually was doing goes far beyond “simple expression” read the translations of some of her clap-trap, stop being gullible easily manipulated chattel, and form an informed view of your own–not what some hack with an agenda tells you.
