Revisionists to be punished

FROM HERBERT KELLNER
Antwerp

Jewish Chronicle (London), 17 February 1993

A Bill to outlaw and punish Holocaust denial or the defence of Nazi crimes has been introduced in the Belgian Parliament by the country's Socialist Party. The Bill is expected to be supported by other parties.

The penalties foreseen by the Bill include the withdrawal of political rights from those found guilty.

Similar laws already exist in France, Holland and Austria, Belgium passed a law against racial hatred last year.

The Belgian Government intends to co-operate with B'nai B'rith in prosecuting the publisher, printer and distributor of a Dutch-language revisionist pamphlet printed in Antwerp. The pamphlets have heen widely distributed in both Belgium and Holland.

Editor's remark: There has existed over the past several decades only one active Holocaust revisionist in the Dutch-speaking countries (Netherlands and Flanders): Siegfried Verbeke of Antwerp with his revisionist outlet Vrij Historisch Onderzoek (Free Historical Research; established in 1993; dissolved in 2014). Hence this law was passed to curb this one man's activities.

No one doubted that it would. The Washington Museum, with its hugely successful opening, has become the organizing instrument around…

After the Museum

HANS SCHMIDT. As mentioned above, I toured the museum with Hans. The following day we got together in my digs in Crystal City when I had my new Sony videocam set up. I interviewed Hans on tape for four hours about his impressions of the museum. Hans, a German nationalist, has interests different from mine,…

Forbidden to Laugh

You would think that a Court of "Human Rights" would defend the right of a comedian to make jokes with a biting social commentary, Right? Cartoons about Mohammed are ok, yes.
