Document Summary
Lecture 30 ernst zundel and white supremacy. Introduce the students to the case of ernst zundel. Ernst zundel and the white supremacist movement in canada: One of the most notorious distributors of hate material in the world. The patriarch of the white supremacist movement in canada". His house: a symbol of white supremacy. Holocaust denial; faced many court battles in canada. Deported in 2005 after being deemed a security threat". Also convicted in germany for inciting hatred; eventually died. His case proves how difficult it can be to prosecute hate speech in canada: little has changed even though hate crimes are rising, it is rare for investigators to lay charges for hate crime incidents. The problem: the balance for freedom of speech vs. hate speech. In 1977 zundel establishes samisdat publishers in toronto, ontario: a forum for the publication of nazi propaganda in canada and holocaust denial claims.
