Hires somebody to break into auschwitz to prove that it wasn"t that bad. Left germany to avoid conscription came to canada: has now been deported to germany. Wrote the hitler we knew and loved under a pseudonym: while writing for maclean"s magazine under his real name. Took the holocaust seriously, as a hoax. He"s now forbidden to publish, but his works can all be found online. 1985 he was put on trial for spreading false information: convicted, but the conviction was overturned, called raoul hilberg (the first holocaust historian) as an expert witness (fun fact of the day) 1989 another trial for spreading false news: he pays someone to break into auschwitz, collect evidence, and prove that it didn"t happen to contradict the expert witnesses.
