Denmark - A Danish Holocaust denier obtained government funding for his studies on the involvement of Danes in Hitler's SS.
Erik Haaest received grants totaling 100,000 Danish krone from the Danish Arts Council, a government-funded body.
In a conversation with the media, Haaest called Anne Frank's diary a "forgery" and refused to renounce earlier publications in which he wrote that the gas chambers never existed and that the number of Jews who died in the Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated.
The Arts Council said in response that it does not deal in censorship and "it is not our job to judge [people's] opinions." [Ha'aretz]
