Line 1:
'''Ernst Zundel''' is [[Canada|Canadian]] [[holocaust revisionism|holocaust revisionist]] and journalist. He has been imprisoned in Canada for expressing his views about [[holocaust]], in which he questions the existence of the [[extermination camp]]s, claiming that there were only [[concentration camp]]s in [[WWII]].
He claims that the holocaust is little more than media hype created by [[Jew]]s in the [[1960s]] and that the number of Jews who died in concentration camps is greatly exaggerated. In his trial, he presented evidence from a [[United States]] [[gas chamber]] expert who traveled to [[Auschwitz]] to examine the possibility that there were facilities used for gassing the Jews. Wall samples were collected by this expert, and sent to a laboratory to be tested for exposure to [[cyanide]]. No traces of it were found - the laboratory which was doing the test was independent, and did not know the source of the samples. All this evidence for at least the claim that Zundel was himself a believer in his own claims (which was formally enough to acquit him) was not sufficient and he was later imprisoned, but that only promoted
The plight of a gas chamber expert, Fred A. Leuchter, who gave evidence in the trial has been subject of a documentary by [[Errol Morris]]. He was harrased by Jewish groups, lost his job and his family life was consequently ruined. The experts from the laboratory were of better luck, as they later claimed that they didn't know the source of the samples, and questioned their own reports in the Morris documentary.
