CHICAGO—A man who published a study proving the Germans did not gas Jews at Auschwitz has been deported from the U.S. to his native Germany to serve a prison term for "Holocaust denial."

Germar Rudolf, 41, a chemistry expert who had sought political asylum to avoid imprisonment for publicly disputing Jewish Holocaust claims, was immediately arrested upon arrival at the Frankfurt airport. Earlier, his emergency petition to block deportation was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Rudolf, a 1989 chemistry graduate of Bonn University and a former student at the prestigious Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, was sentenced in 1995 to 14 months in prison for "Holocaust denial"under German law criminalizing free speech.

Until his arrest in Chicago on October 18 by U.S. immigration officials, Rudolf was publisher of revisionist books and periodicals. His Expert Report on the Formation and Detectability of Cyanide Compounds in the Gas Chambers' of Auschwitz—the so-called Rudolf Report—concluded that "no mass gassings with hydrogen cyanide took place in the wartime detention center at Auschwitz."

Rudolf and his wife, who is a U.S. citizen, are parents of an infant daughter. They are expecting a second child.
