Anne Frank “revisionist” fined
A former regional president of the far-right Party of Nationally Oriented Swiss has been fined just over SFr10,000 ($9,500) for claiming Anne Frank’s diary was a fake.
In June 2009 the 22-year-old ex-leader of the Basel branch of the extremist party had written an article called “The lies around Anne Frank”, in which he branded the diary of the young Jewish girl a “historical lie”.
The young man has been fined for racial discrimination.
He referred to an article published in 1980 in the German news magazine Der Spiegel, which questioned the authenticity of the diary.
The Spiegel article mentioned an expert’s report by the German Federal Criminal Police. The same authority led an investigation in 2006 which cleared all doubts on the diary’s authenticity.
The president of the Basel court said the accused had infringed the federal law against racism and his assertions were like a slap in the face of the victims.
Anne Frank died aged 15 in March 1945 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, having lived most of her life in Amsterdam. From July 1942 to August 1944 she and her family lived in hiding in a secret annex. Anne kept a diary, which was found and published after her death.

From what documentation I have read about Anne Frank's diary, it was not written by her but by a sister or cousin in honor of her. According to this documentation, Anne Frank was already dead from Typhus (or another disease) by the time this work was actually written...

This is the situation we deal in Europe we cant speak about things if they are not political correct. There is absolutely no freedom of speech in Europe.
Dreyfuzz, -
In Austria, and probably in Germany as well, schools teach their pupils that Anne Frank was murdered by the Nazis. However, it is an incontrovertible fact that she died of Typhus (just google it). What you don't learn in Austrian schools, however, is that she spent some time in Auschwitz prior to being brought to Bergen-Belsen. The reason is obvious Auschwitz is the Holocaust Religion's supreme symbol of satanic evil. How will you sell this to the sheeple and at the same time explain away that this innocent little girl (and, in fact, countless others) went into the Supreme Hell of Auschwitz - and got back out of it alive?
