Welcome to the witch/show-trial in 'democratic' Germany where a defense against the allegations will earn Ernst Zündel more punishment.

The Mannheim judges are there to discuss and decide one matter only - how long is the prison term to be!

There is no issue of innocence because the fact that Ernst is in prison, and has been accused of violating a dogma, is enough to prove his guilt.

There will be no testing of evidence because judicial notice - Offenkundigkeit - relieves the judges of facing physical factual information as new evidence.

The judges will want to see for themselves if Ernst has shown remorse for offending against the Holocaust dogma? If he show remorse by recanting/apologizing for his sins, and is prepared uncritically to embrace the Holocaust dogma (upon which rest the current German state and the Jewish state of Israel) - Germany started WW Two - gas chambers existed to kill people - Germans killed 6 million Jews - then the prison term may be limited to under one year.

Ernst has no criminal record and this would be his first offence!

If Ernst does not recant and does not show remorse, then the judges will impose a longer prison sentence. He will be labelled a 'geistiger Brandstifter'- literally, a mental firebug, among other things, who refuses to see the error of his way. Ernst has a Weltanschauung for which he does not apologize, and which no amount of prison time can take from him.

His world view is Ernst Zündel.

He does not have a problem with his identity - he does not need to scapegoat, as do those who wonder who they are or where they came from.

The baying for blood is already audible and the Mannheim judges know they will again make history because the world is watching this case. It will be a barometer indicating how free and democratic the Germans are within their own country.

It will also indicate the degree to which German hatred still flourishes in the world.

Remember Professor Robert Faurisson's forthright statement: 

"Show me or draw me a Nazi gas chamber! Stop giving me words. Stop showing me a building, a door, a wall or, sometimes, only hair or shoes. I need a full picture of one of those fantastic chemical slaughterhouses. I need a physical representation of the extraordinary weapon of an unprecedented crime. If you dare to say that what tourists are shown in some camps is, or was, such a gas chamber, come on and say it."
