95-Year-Old 'Nazi Grandma' Convicted Again for Holocaust Denial
Ninety-five-year-old Ursula Haverbeck, known as the 'Nazi grandma,' has been sentenced to another sixteen months for repeatedly denying the Holocaust. The Hamburg court cited her previous convictions and use of the trial to further spread her views. Haverbeck has a history of similar offenses and called the Holocaust the 'biggest and most sustained lie in history.'
Ursula Haverbeck, a 95-year-old German pensioner known as the 'Nazi grandma,' has been sentenced to another 16 months for repeatedly denying the Holocaust.
The Hamburg court took into account her previous convictions and the fact she used the trial to disseminate her views.
Haverbeck, who was once head of a far-right training centre, declared in 2015 during the trial of a former Auschwitz guard that the Auschwitz concentration camp was just a labor camp and no mass murder took place there.
She has previously been sentenced for similar offences and called the Holocaust the 'biggest and most sustained lie in history.' German law prohibits Holocaust denial and can lead to up to five years in prison.
