Trial of far-right agitator opens in Germany

The incitement trial of Ernst Zundel, a leading Holocaust denier who wrote a book called The Hitler We Loved and Why, opened in Germany today, eight months after Canadian authorities deported him.

Zundel, a 66-year-old native German who has also lived in the US state of Tennessee, faces further charges of libel and disparaging the dead before a court in Germany, which had sought him for years on an international arrest warrant.
