    Sylvia Stolz is a German lawyer who defended Ernst Zundel at his "Holocaust denial" trial. Sylvia was sentenced to 3½ years in prison under draconian German laws which prohibit even an attorney for a person accused of "holocaust denial" from presenting evidence to defend their client.

    Here is a speech by Sylvia at an anti-censorchip forum:

    They are becoming what they rail against. Sad.

    This is what you get when you are defeated in war, and Zionists control your lives thereafter.

    Germany is going to cause their own demise once again, by fostering the growth of Neo-Nationalists who are not ashamed of being German and are sick of seeing their country as the perpetual whipping boy for Jews. You can't stifle people's ethnic pride forever.

    I've always thought it strange that it's against the law to do the "heil hitler" arm gesture in Germany. Unpopular freedom of speech HAS to be protected in order to actually have free speech.

    Why would one be surprised by a country that is trying to achieve in peacetime what it failed to do in wartime? The fact that the Chancellor is of East German extraction should have been a warning sign to anyone interested in politics, so that takes out politicians.

    What should concern us more is the inability of any civilised country to realise that they (those countries) are repeating history by ignoring now what they ignored in the 1930's, the reunification of East and West for economic world domination. It doesn't cost too many lives and is far more devastating as can be seen with the recent German destruction of the Cypriot economy.

    Illiberal democracy is illiberal. 'Nuff said. I seriously hope that all this naziphobia can be buried to the ground and people will stop treating other people as second class citizens or thought criminals because of political opinions that differ from the majority and whose advocates murdered millions of people in the past. I don't see this kind of ban on stalinism or maoism anywhere in the world, which is good because there is enough commiephobia in the world as it is.
