This is so outrageous I think it deserves its own thread.

• Ursula Haverbeck, 88, was sentenced to six months in jail for Holocaust denial
• Although she has been convicted on several occasions of the offence, she has not served any jail time, as the cases are still under appeal
• In Germany anyone who publicly denies Holocaust can face 5 years in jail

A German court on Monday sentenced an 88-year-old 'Nazi grandma' to six months in jail, the fifth in a string of similar convictions for the repeat Holocaust denier.

Ursula Haverbeck has often denied the mass murder of millions of Jews by the Nazis, which constitutes incitement of racial hatred under German law.

And although she has been convicted on several occasions, she has not served any jail time, as the cases are all still under appeal.

During a public event at the end of January, Haverbeck repeated her claims, saying it was 'not true' that there were gas chambers at the Auschwitz death camp.

She also disputed the fact that 1.1 million people were killed at the concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.

During her trial, Haverbeck argued that she was only quoting from a book that she was presenting at the event.

She also filed an immediate appeal against Monday's ruling.
