The former vice-president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Michel Friedman, has filed charges against extreme-rightist Horst Mahler, who greeted him with “Heil Hitler, Mr Friedman!” at the beginning of an interview during which he denied the Holocaust.
Mahler, who is known for his provocative attitude and has been convicted several times for inciting to hatred.
During the interview which lasted two hours, Mahler denied the Holocaust,
“The systematic extermination of Jews in Auschwitz is a lie,” 71-year-old Mahler said.
He called Adolf Hitler “the savior of the German people,” but “not only of the German people.”
