Ernst Zündel: Relates His Time with David Irving (36 min)
By Ernst Zündel, David Irving ∙ September 30, 2019
Ernst Zundel relates his time with David Irving and Jim Rizoli's comments at the end.
Ernst Zundel (1939 – 2017) was an active fighter against the "Holocau$t" lie. Ernst was born in Germany, and emigrated to Canada as he did not want to serve in the military. He became a successful artist in Canada, and learnt French and English. Ernst was disgusted by the continual attacks in the media on the German people and campaigned against the lies. Zionists dragged up an obscure law in order to persecute Ernst. Eventually, Ernst won the case as the law was declared unconsitutional. In one of this trials, David Irving appeared as an expert witness. The trial in 1985 also saw the release of the famous Leuchter Report, where the author, a consultant on execution technology, declared that "gas chambers" did not exist, never existed and could not have existed at Auschwitz.

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.
