In this (1 hour and 29 minute) video, the American Free Press (AFP) talks to Ernest Zundel (1939 – 2017), who was in Germany at the time. The AFP state that the word "thoughtcrime" became part of the English language through the writings of George Orwell, through his book, 1984. The AFP ask Ernst about his life, his thoughts on "thoughtcrime", his situation in Germany, and the difficulties involving his wife, Ingrid, with him being in Germany, and her in North America. Facing arrest if she goes to Europe, she is unable to see her husband. Ernst states that he can only describe himself as a hostage. The appalling treatment meted out to Ernst by the Allied puppet government fully comes across in this disturbing telephone interview. The ramifications for Free Speech, for Democracy, and the truth can be noted. However, Ernst, maintains a calm faced in this disgusting treatment of a individual, known for his pacifism and determination to defeat those who are lying about the honour of the German people.

  • Ernst Zündel

    Ernst Zündel was born on April 24, 1939, in a small town in the Black Forest region of southwestern Germany. He emigrated to Canada at the age of 19, where he soon married and became the father of two sons. His career as a graphic artist was successful. Then he dedicated himself to the great task, as he saw it, of redeeming the sullied reputation of his fellow Germans. Through his Samisdat publishing house he distributed worldwide a prodigious quantity of revisionist material. Zündel is perhaps best known for his role as defendant in the “Holocaust Trials” of 1985 and 1988. He was brought to court in Toronto on a charge of “publishing false news,” and specifically for publishing a reprint edition of a booklet entitled Did Six Million Really Die?. Zündel’s next great legal battle was fought out before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in Toronto for his Internet web site (www.Zündelsite.org). In 2000, he moved to the United States, where he was arrested in 2003 and deported to Germany after two years of solitary confinement in Canada. Put on a show trial in Germany, he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in 2007. He was finally released from prison on March 1, 2012, and lived in his parental home in Germany until his death on 5 August 2017.
