I saw this article! Can you believe people are still denying that 6 million+ people died? This reminds me of the denial going on right now about the 50 million+ babies that have been aborted...

Can you believe that people are being ARRESTED for what they THINK?

Actually, it's harder for me to believe that someone could make a living as a historian while denying the holocaust. And technically, he wasn't arrested for what he thouht. He was arrested for what he taught. You can think anything you like. You can't spread racist hate without repercussions.
