German Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck died on Wednesday at the age of 96. She was popular in right-wing extremist circles and had been convicted several times for sedition. In 2019, she ran for the European Parliament as the top candidate of the ‘Right’ party.
Haverbeck also spent more than two years in prison in Bielefeld for Holocaust denial. Recently, the Hamburg Regional Court sentenced her to a prison term of one year and four months, but her lawyer appealed.
Haverbeck’s first conviction was in 2004, when she was fined. The Germans repeatedly claimed that the Auschwitz concentration camp was not an extermination camp and that no mass murder took place there. According to historians’ estimates, the Nazis murdered at least 1.1 million people there.
Big movement as a goal
The National Socialist activist ran for the European Parliament in 2019 as a candidate for the ‘Right’ party. Until her expulsion, she was also a member of the Ecological Democratic Party (ÖDP) and led the association ‘Home Adult Education Center for Environment and Life Protection’, which was banned in 2008. Haverbeck maintained ties with right-wing extremist groups and wanted to set up a large national collection movement.
She was married to former SA and SS member Werner Georg Haverbeck until his death.
