SPLCenter.org: Holocaust Denial

Zundel deported from Canada, charged in Germany After he moved to Canada in 1958 to escape military service in his homeland of Germany, neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel pained the government of his adopted country by establishing Toronto as the base of operations for Samisdat Publishing. Zundel's firm eventually grew into one of the largest international distributors of Nazi memorabilia and Holocaust-denial propaganda, including texts authored by Zundel like Did Six Million Really Die? and The Hitler We Loved and Why. Zundel also turned his home, in the words of a Canadian federal court, into "a revolving door for leaders of white supremacist groups with histories of violence." On March 1, culminating years of conflict with the government, Canada finally gave Zundel the boot, deporting him back to Germany. German officials promptly arrested him for past incitement of racial hatred by disseminating banned materials to Germany via the mails and the Internet from Canada.
