ICE Deports Man Wanted For Inciting Racial Hatred In Germany

CHICAGO— A man wanted in Germany for inciting racial hatred by denying that thousands of Jews were gassed to death at Auschwitz was deported by ICE November 14.

The man is Germar Rudolf, aka Germar Scheerer, 41, a well-known revisionist and holocaust denier. The action ends a decade spent on the lam as Scheerer traversed the globe, living in Spain, Great Britain, Mexico and finally the United States.

“ICE is focused on protecting America and promoting public safety by ensuring that fugitive aliens are removed from the United States as expeditiously as possible,” said Deborah Achim, field officer director for Chicago’s detention and removal program. “We are restoring integrity to the immigration system by finding and removing individuals ordered deported by federal immigration judges.”

Rudolf is wanted in Germany for his 1995 conviction of inciting racial hatred in violation of Germany’s Holocaust denial legislation, which was enacted to combat anti-Semitism and protect the memory of Hitler’s victims. He fled Germany in 1996 to avoid imprisonment.

Rudolf, a former chemist from Stuttgart and author of “Dissecting the Holocaust,” was sentenced by the German government to 14 months in prison for publishing a “scientific” report refuting the deaths of thousands of Jews in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Rudolf tested bricks in the gas chambers for traces of Zyklon B, deadly cyanide used to kill Jews during the Holocaust. His report claimed the mass gassing of Jews was unlikely.
