For those not in the know, Ernst Zundel (Black's hero, perchance?) is a 45-year old publisher who loudly professes a love for Nazi Germany, and has published two books arguing that the wholesale murder of 6 million Jews is a hoax. He is being tried under a 1970 Canadian anti-racist law. The Canadian government is serious about prosecuting Zundel because of recent documents alleging Canadian anti-Semitism during the Hitler years. [Prime Minister William King of Canada said that Hitler "will rank some day with Joan of Arc among the deliverers of his people and if he is only careful may yet be the deliverer of Europe.] A similar case is being readied against James Keegstra, an Alberta, Canada high school teacher and mayor of the city of Eckville, who is accused of teaching that the Holocaust never happened and that Jews are conspiring to rule the world and to destroy Christianity. --- bill peter cmcl2!lanl!wkp
