Canadian politician under fire over Holocaust denial

Monika Schaefer, a former parliamentary candidate on behalf of Canada's Green Party, is under fire for producing a video denying the controversial theme of Holocaust.

In the video, entitled “Sorry Mom, I was wrong about the Holocaust,” Schaefer refers to the Holocaust as “the six-million lie” and says “these things did not happen.”

Holocaust is the biggest and most pernicious, persistent lie in all of history, she said.

She acknowledges the fact that there were camps, but denies they were death camps and says they were work camps.

“The prisoners of the camps were being kept as healthy and as well fed as was possible in those terrible war years. They needed to be kept healthy. How else could they perform the work? It was war, and so the camps were basically armaments factories. And how much sense does it make, by the way, to have a hospital in a death camp?” says Schaefer in the video.

“There were no gas chambers there. The only gas that was used was to get rid of the lice! Lice carried typhus and typhus was a deadly and rampant disease. So they had to delouse the clothing to keep the people healthy,” she continues.
