Greek court officials said judges overturned a far-rightist's conviction for inciting racial hatred with a book that denies the Holocaust took place. A five-member panel of appeals court judges voted four to one to overturn a lower court's decision that sentenced Costas Plevris to fourteen months in prison for his book The Jews: The Whole Truth.Rico says the only question he has for Holocaust deniers is: So, if none of that happened, where are all the Jews? Oh, yeah, and also this one: Which of your ears would you like my Glock to go off in, motherfucker?
The Greek News quoted Plevris as having glorified Hitler and calling for the extermination of the Jews in his 1,400 page book. He declares himself "a Nazi, a fascist, a racist, an anti-democrat, and an anti-Semite," according to the Greek-American paper. "Jews are mortal enemies and deserve the firing squad," he was quoted as saying.
Court officials said the Athens appeals court ruled that Plevris was entitled to express his views in the book. In the first trial, in 2007, Greek Jewish community leaders had testified that Plevris' book has led to an increase in attacks on Jewish monuments.
An estimated 60,000 Greek Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II. Around 4,000 Jews live today in Greece.
