BERLIN: A 42-year-old German deported from the United States
was convicted Thursday of Holocaust denial and sentenced to 2 1/2 years in
prison.

A state court in Mannheim found Germar Rudolf guilty of breaking laws against
denying the Holocaust by publishing a study claiming to prove that the Nazis did
not gas Jews at the Auschwitz concentration camp. He also distributed his
theories over the Internet, the court found.

"He represented the Holocaust as invention," prosecutor Andreas Grossmann
said.

Rudolf was convicted in 1995 of Holocaust denial and sentenced to 14 months
in prison, but then disappeared. He applied for political asylum in the United
States in 2000, but was rejected and was deported in 2005 to serve the 1995
sentence.

He was arrested when he appeared at an immigration office in Chicago to apply
for a green card based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen.

He was charged again in April, 2006, with "systematically" denying or playing
down the Nazi genocide of Europe's Jews in documents and on the Internet, and of
stirring anti-Semitic hatred.
