Spain - Spanish court to probe speech by David Irving
A Spanish court will analyze a police recording of a speech delivered in Barcelona by British Holocaust denier David Irving to see if he violated any law during the event.
Under Spanish law justifying genocide or inciting racism and xenophobia are crimes which can carry a prison sentence of up to three years.
During his speech at a Barcelona bookstore, Irving, a historian who has written over 20 books, said "there is no proof" Dictator Adolf Hitler was aware of what was aware of what was happening in Nazi Germany’s concentration camps.
But he said "there was no doubt" that the Nazis killed two or three million Jews.
