MANNHEIM — The former lawyer for Ernst Zündel, a well-known
revisionist deported from Canada in 2005, was convicted of
"incitement" Monday for challenging the Jewish Holocaust® myth.

Sylvia Stolz was sentenced to 3-1/2 years in prison and
jailed immediately without a chance to appeal. She was also
barred from practicing law for five years.

The 44-year-old attorney was also convicted of "disparaging the
country and its symbols" and "insulting the court."

Stolz represented 67-year-old Zündel in his first trial in Germany,
which collapsed after she was barred from the proceedings on grounds she was trying to "sabotage" them.

Zündel's second trial ended in February, 2007, with his conviction for "incitement" stemming from his disputing the Holocaust® as a historical fact. The German-born dissident was sentenced to the maximum five years in prison.

In sentencing Stolz, the judge said that she had used Zündel's trial in order to deny the Holocaust® and to spread revisionist ideas.

It is a crime in many European countries, including Germany and Austria, to question the inflation of Jewish wartime casualty figures.

During her defense of Zündel, Stolz termed the Holocaust® "the biggest lie in world history." She defiantly signed a motion during her client's trial with "Heil Hitler" and shouted that the lay judges deserved the death penalty for "giving aid to the enemy" — leading to her dismissal from the court.
