>Brief Report of the Zundel Hearing of July 28, 2006
>
>Apparently part of this hearing last Friday was highly dramatic!
>Hans-Heiko Klein, Germany's head honcho Holocaust Denier hunter, now
>in retirement, suffered what was described to me as "total moral
>bankruptcy", embarrassing himself and the BRD legal system to such
>an extent that even Judge Meinerzhagen was described as having been
>"plain horrified"!
>
>Hans-Heiko Klein was and is known as a particularly nasty fellow.
>It must have been sweet justice for Ernst watching his prime enemy,
>who had no small part in Ernst's political abduction, making an
>absolute ass out of himself in front of court and media!
>
>Again, since I was not there and no transcript exists, I can only
>give you a partial description of what was asked by the defense and
>even the judge, and what was replied by Hans-Heiko Klein.
>
>Here is a sample:
>
>First of all, Klein lied brazenly by testifying that he had nothing
>to do with Germany's post-war Gestapo shenanigans and their Canadian
>counterparts in kidnapping Ernst. Then, upon pressure by the
>defense, he admitted that he had met with members of the Canadian
>secret police on several occasions but - get this and marvel! - he
>did not know who they were and what their agenda might have been!
>
>The year 2003, he testified, had been a turning point. Even though
>arrest warrants had existed for some years and there had been hope
>that Ernst could have been nabbed during one of his travels in
>Europe, this did not materialize, and eventually the arrest
>warrant(s) expired since what Ernst did in Canada and then in the
>United States was not illegal.
>
>However, after his 2003 arrest in Tennessee and deportation to
>Canada, the Canadian officials had signalled to their Bundesrepublik
>buddies that Ernst was now theirs for the asking!
>
>He also testified that there was never any question as to where
>Ernst would be "allowed" to go - it was simply understood it would
>be Germany!
>
>In cross-examination,
>
>* Klein claimed "no knowledge" of the Leuchter Report. Not true -
>as I remember it, he himself had Ernst arrested briefly in
>connection with the planned and then aborted Leuchter Congress in
>Germany in the early 1990s!
>
>* Klein claimed the Rudolf Report had been scientifically
>discredited - not true! When pressured to say more, he replied, "I
>am not saying another word!" When the judge ordered him to answer,
>he said that he was "not prepared"!
>
>* Did he try to find mitigating evidence about Ernst's politically
>incorrect ways?
>
>Klein said he hadn't looked and hadn't tried, since he was not a
>psychologist nor a psychiatrist.
>
>* Did he know of Fritjof Meyer's findings?
>
>Klein said that he had "read the book." It wasn't a book, it was an
>article in an obscure academic journal.
>
>* Did he know the "Auschwitz Act"?
>
>Klein did not. He only said he knew "the outcome".
>
>* What was his definition of Extremism of the Right?
>
>People who are Holocaust Deniers.
>
>* The Zundelsite, he testified, was "Holocaust Denial Pure!"
>
>* Q: The claim is always "six million". How many of those came
>from Auschwitz?
>
>Well, muttered Klein, the numbers had been reduced.
>
>* Q: Yet the number "six million" remains constant. How can that
>be explained?
>
>Klein remained silent, sweating profusely. So did the court. It
>was a very hot day - even the cheese in Ernst's prison cell melted!
>No wonder Klein did, too!
>
>* Why did he call himself an "Überzeugungstäter" in a recent
>interview? [This is a term that is hard to translate. It means
>somebody who does not act by evidence but merely from conviction.]
>
>Klein remained silent. So did the court.
>
>For his grand finale, Klein announced that he could sleep soundly,
>since his conscience was clear! Does this worm of a German even
>have a conscience? Does he even have a brain, much less a heart?
>
>It is a pity and a shame that no record of this remarkably
>devastating testimony exists, since Germany's courts try hard to
>avoid leaving tracks.
>
>=====
>
>(Information for this summary report came from several sources,
>including Günter Deckert who himself spent 5 years in prison for
>Holocaust Denial, courtesy of "Überzeugungstäter" Hans-Heiko Klein!)
