You can read the latest about “the Nazi grandmother” in today’s [November 29th 2017] BBC news article: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42164853
The following quote is from the news article:
Begin quote
Ursula Haverbeck, dubbed the “Nazi Grandma”, has been convicted several times but is yet to spend time in jail.
She was first given a jail term last year but received additional punishment for handing out pamphlets repeating her beliefs to those attending court.
Under German law, Holocaust denial constitutes a crime and carries a sentence of up to five years in jail.
Haverbeck and her late husband were members of the Nazi party during the Second World War.
The pair founded a now-banned education centre and she has written for a right-wing magazine where she has argued that the Holocaust never happened.
Haverbeck was initially sentenced to eight months in jail in 2016 after she claimed Auschwitz was not a concentration camp, in a letter to the mayor of the German town of Detmold.
But after giving the judge and prosecutors leaflets entitled “Only the truth will set you free” during the appeal session she was given ten additional months of imprisonment. Her overall sentence was reduced to 14 months.
She has been convicted on five other occasions for similar charges of incitement of racial hatred, but she has remained free as her lawyers appealed.
Her lawyers plan on taking the case to a top regional court for a final appeal against the jail term.

I admire this woman for writing the truth, even though it caused her to be sent to prison. Thank God that I live in the USA and not in Germany — I would be right there in a prison cell beside her, if I lived in Germany.
Don’t worry — my blog can not be read in Germany. I have blogged about Ursula in many other posts which you can read by following the link below.

My most recent post about her was on November 27th. The BBC does not mention that Ursula’s appeal was recently postponed according that earlier article.
