I read it and it is obvious I missed something. I was hoping one the European members could explain this story to me.
From my understanding of what I read some guy had some kooky theories about how the holocaust didn't happen. And for that he gets 3 years in jail?
There has to be something more to this. Forgive me for being an uninformed American. I didn't think/know people could go to jail in Austria for writting or speaking about their view of historical events no matter how wrong headed.
