In France, Germany, and Switzerland, it is illegal to deny that the holocaust happened!

The Holocaust was a horrific crime against humanity. Evidence of the Nazi's attempt to exterminate the Jewish people is plentiful - from the physical concentration camps to photographs to eye witness accounts. However, some people, amazingly, claim the Holocaust never happened. These people are entitle to their opinion. Or are they? Not in France, Germany and Switzerland. While each country has laws that protect freedom of expression, each also has a stipulation that Holocaust denial is not protected. France's Gayssot Act of 1990 prohibits racist and xenophobic activities including Holocaust Denial. Germany's Criminal Code outlines the limitations to free speech. One of which is Holocaust denial. And while Switzerland's Constitution guarantees Freedom of Speech, Holocaust denial is illegal. credit this to pd family
