The Ernst Zundel event was seven years before I was to become a "Landed Immigrant" in Canada. I acquired this status based on the high points I obtained through my educational merits: BS, MS, and ABD - All But the Dissertation - in the sciences, and my language proficiency in both French and English, although I had Spanish and Amharic on my list too.
I read Ernst Zundel years later, and sad to say I went wth the MSM reports of "anti-semite, who deserves his prison term."
Now, of course as I write to advance the Western Civilization's contributions to beauty, and especially the German civilization's (how about Mozart), I begin to understand the truth.
The record of the persecution of German-Canadian heretic Ernst Zundel by a de facto Sanhedrin, for publishing the book, 'Did Six Million Really Die?' is almost too fantastic to countenance. Zundel was prosecuted in Toronto under an archaic False News provision of an old Edwardian legal code. He faced two years in prison if convicted. In response, he put the so-called Holocaust' itself on trial. Zundel's defense was initially regarded by the press and public as preposterous. How can anyone 'deny the Holocaust?' was the incredulous response to the news that Zundel would vigorously defend himself and the free speech rights of all Canadians. The trial was expected to be a quick and ignominious rout of Zundel and his supporters. But in a startling reversal, the 'survivors' who had appeared in court in order to send him to jail, had to submit their testimony to scrutiny, the rules of evidence and cross-examination, something that had never happened before and has never happened since. Canadians grew ever more surprised and shocked at the amazing admissions which the defense team elicited from the supposed eyewitnesses to the homicidal gas chambers. As a result, television reporters and print journalists who covered the 1985 trial produced broadcasts and news reports that turned Canada upside down. Zundel was tried again in 1988. The Great Holocaust Trial reports on both thought crime trials. Softcover, 182 pages. Illustrated. Large format.
