Neo-Nazis charged for burning A Copy Of Anne Frank's
diary

Berlin prosecutors on Friday charged seven suspected neo-Nazis with
incitement and disturbing the peace of the dead for burning a copy of
Anne Frank's diary during a celebration earlier this year.

Held A ceremony!!

The men, aged 23 to 28 from Pretzien and Ploetzky in the eastern
state of Saxony Anhalt, are accused of holding a ceremony on June 24
during which they praised the Nazis and denied the Holocaust.

Denying the Holocaust carries a maximum sentence of
five years in Germany. The trial is to open on February 26.

They Ridiculed The Story

Magdeburg prosecutors said,  "Using neo-Nazi
and Nazi language, they ridiculed Anne Frank, and with her all victims
of Nazi concentration camps,"

Different Versions

Anne says eight Jews hide in an attic for 2 years.

Another group says Otto supplied Pectin to the Wermacht, was caught
in a swindle, and was sent to Auschwitz as a criminal. In 1952 he hired
a NY playwright named Levin to turn a few pages about a fantasy of
an  imaginary friend (Peter), and a hiding in an attic,  into
a novel.

The Beasts At Trial

The testimony of five witnesses is being heard Wednesday, the
second day of the trial, with the key witness being Pretzien's
mayor, Friedrich Harwig. During his testimony Wednesday he
confirmed that a person had thrown the book into the fire during
the festival with the words "It's all lies anyway." 6

The Director Of The Anne Frank Trust

Thomas Heppner, director of the Anne Frank Center in Berlin,
described Lars K.'s statement as "spine-chilling." He said he
"almost felt sick" as he watched the trial. For many Jews, the
burning of Frank's diary is like "experiencing the Shoah all over
again," he said.

The Judge Passes Sentence

copy of Anne Frank's "Diary" into a bonfire last year at a
