The neo-Nazi demonstration outside the German embassy in Prague set for October 28 to protest the imprisonment of German Ernest Zuendel who denies the Holocaust will not be banned, the authorities said today.
"The Town Hall cannot ban any event which does not arouse a clear suspicion that a criminal act would happen during it," Town Hall Jiri Wolf told journalists.
October 28th is a national holiday in the Czech Republic which marks the foundation of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918
Opposition to the neo-nazi demonstration, however, is growing following protests expressed by the Federation of Jewish Communities, the Czech Council for Victims of Nazism, the Association of Liberated Political Prisoners and their Descendants, and others reports Romano Vod'i.
Oldrich Stransky, chairman of the council and the association, sent a letter to Senate chairman Premysl Sobotka calling on him to help outlaw all public events aimed at the questioning and falsifying the past.
Anti-nazi activists plan to be at the embassy at the same time as Hitler's ninnies make their appearance.
Ernst Christof Friedrich Zündel is a German Holocaust denier and pamphleteer who was jailed several times for publishing hate literature. In 1977, Zündel founded a press publishing house called Samisdat Publishers which issued such pamphlets as "The Hitler We Loved" and "Why and Did Six Million Really Die?," both prominent documents of the so-called Holocaust Revisionism movement.
For many years Zündel made his views known from his home in Canada and in 2005, he was deported back to his native Germany and detained in Mannheim prison awaiting trial for Holocaust denial.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported, “Zundel also turned his home (in Canada), in the words of a Canadian federal court, into "a revolving door for leaders of white supremacist groups with histories of violence."
When asked once if he could think of any definitive experiment that could decide the gas chamber issue one way or the other Zündel offered the macabre suggestion that someone "...build a gas chamber according to what are alleged to be the plans, get DEGESH to supply the gas, fill it with people, gas them and see if they in fact died. Since the U.S. continues to execute people, we could also save some money in conducting such an experiment."
Zundel or Zuendel or Zündel, however you spell his name, is also the author of a book which argues that UFOs are actually Nazi secret weapons, still being launched from a hole in the ice in Antarctica. Sources: Romano Vod'i, Prague.st, Prague Daily Monitor, SPLC, Wikipedia
