Lutheran Minister Sentenced to Six Months for Revisionism
ThoughtCrime: 12/02/96
“Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.”
George Orwell
A lower court in Heilbronn, Germany, has sentenced Manfred Junger, 58 years old, to six months imprisonment without probation for distributing pamphlets which challenge the official history of the “Holocaust.” The pamphlets cast doubt on the claims regarding “gas chambers” at Auschwitz.
This is the second such conviction for Junger, an ordained Lutheran minister. In 1993, Pastor Junger was sentenced to 7 months imprisonment by a court in Bochum for the distribution of leaflets.
Pastor Junger plans to appeal this ruling.
