Norwegian lawmaker denies Holocaust
March 21, 2011
(JTA) -- Members of a Norwegian lawmaker's own party have called for his resignation after he publicly denied the Holocaust.
Labor Party lawmaker Anders Mathisen reportedly told the Finnmarken newspaper that the Holocaust never happened and challenged readers to prove him wrong.
“There is no evidence the gas chambers or mass graves existed," he told the newspaper, according to reports. "Even reputable Holocaust historians have admitted it cannot be established.”
Mathisen reportedly has spent months researching World War II concentration camps and is advocating changing history books, according to the Coordination Forum for Countering Anti-Semitism. He also published his reported his "findings" on his Facebook page.
Mathisen reportedly has accused Holocaust survivors of exaggerating their stories. He also said that the public has been brainwashed into believing in the Holocaust by films such as "Schindler's List," according to the forum.
The lawmaker has refused to resign from the party.
"Holocaust survivors are aghast at the morally repugnant comments of a Norwegian member of Parliament," Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants, said in a statement. "They are an insult to the memory of all victims of Nazi brutality, Jew and non-Jew."
Steinberg called for Mathisen's expulsion from political office and removal from the Labor Party.
"It was not until the 1990s that Norway began to confront its collaboration with the deportation of Jews and the plunder of their property during the Nazi occupation," the statement concluded. "The manner in which they deal with MP Mathisen is a test of whether those historical lessons were learned."
He's a Sami or Lapp

We will witness much more of this as our parents and grandparents die... When there are no more survivors it will be much easier for the deniers and revisionists to make their claims. This is why documenting through photographs, videos, and written words of the survivors is very important. There is no doubt in my mind that because of these antisemites the entire history of the Holocaust will be erased, even here in America, within 10-15 years...

What a pile of excrement. And what a shock, he's from the 'labor' party.

Hahaha. Norwegians are getting exactly what it deserves, being overrun by Turkish, Kurdish, and Tamil gangs who are making them dhimmis in their own land.
