The Berlin-Tiergarten District Court imposed a one-year prison sentence on the 92-year-old man on Friday. The judge reasoned that he was again guilty of sedition.
The 92-year-old from North Rhine-Westphalia, who did not appear in court to render the verdict, is accused of denying the Holocaust in an interview posted online in March 2018.
Haverbeck had stated in the process that the allegations had been taken out of context or were false. The 92-year-old man from North Rhine-Westphalia was released from prison in Bielefeld just a few weeks ago. He had served a total of two and a half years in prison for sedition.
For years, criminal courts have repeatedly had to deal with statements from the old woman. In 2004, she was found guilty of sedition and received a fine. More recently, prison sentences were handed down without parole.
The old woman repeatedly claimed that the Auschwitz concentration camp was not an extermination camp, but a labor camp. By historians’ estimates, the Nazis murdered at least 1.1 million people at Auschwitz-Birkenau alone.
