German Holocaust Denier Ursula Haverbeck Passes Away at 96

hamburg - Ursula Haverbeck, a German Holocaust denier, has died at the age of 96. Over the past two decades, she had been convicted multiple times for denying the Jewish persecution during World War II.

Ursula Haverbeck, a German Holocaust denier, passed away at the age of 96, confirmed by her lawyer. She was first convicted in 2004 and most recently last summer. A court in Hamburg sentenced her to sixteen months in prison in June for incitement to hatred. Haverbeck claimed that Auschwitz was not an extermination camp but a labor camp where no mass murders took place. She had appealed the verdict.

In 2017, at the age of 93, she again denied the Jewish persecution, receiving a one-year prison sentence. Due to her lack of remorse, the judge decided to imprison her once more.

She appeared in court again earlier this year and was sentenced to sixteen months in prison for incitement. Ursula Haverbeck was the widow of a Nazi official. Her multiple legal battles made her notorious, extending beyond national borders, and she gained popularity in far-right circles. In 2019, she was a candidate for the far-right party Die Rechte in the European Parliamentary elections.
