and fast forward to\u00a000:10:40<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to catch the beginning of my talk.g,<\/p>\n

\n

I bring to Council’s attention the names of two women, whose stories do not appear in the Ann Arbor News, the New York Times or the Washington Post. They are Alison Chabloz and Monika Schaefer. Alison hails from Great Britain, and Monika is a Canadian citizen. They are united in the fact that both are musicians and both sing satirical verses challenging the truthfulness of Holocaust narratives. Their followings are small, but vociferous and engaged.<\/p>\n

\n

Monika Schaefer lives in Jasper, Alberta, and was attending the trial of lawyer Sylvia Stolz in Germany. Stolz is on trial for what the German government falsely labels “Holocaust denial”. During a recess, Monika was apprehended by German authorities and has been held in administrative detention since January 10. The Jewish advocacy group, B’Nai Brith Canada, had filed complaints against Monika with the German government, and appears to be taking credit for her detention there.<\/p>\n

\n

Alison Chabloz lives in Derbyshire County, England, and according to the UK Daily mail is accused of calling the gas chambers a ‘hoax’ and has been taken to court “\u2026in what is believed to be the first private prosecution in the UK for anti-Jewish racism.” The private party refers to the Committee Against Anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

\n

Ms. Chabloz hopes to turn the tables: She writes, ” Following previous treatment of me by Derbyshire Constabulary, including six arrests, unwarranted detention and seizure of my property [they are] seemingly \u2026 reluctant to carry out any\u00a0proper investigation into harassment of which I am the\u00a0victim”.<\/p>\n

\n

In regards to knowledge about the Holocaust, Americas appear to lag well behind other western nations. We are not informed about Alison or Monika, nor were we told much during Ernst Zundel’s two trials in Toronto during the 1980’s. We can only speculate as to the reasons for this apparent blackout, but with Council’s permission, I’d like to paraphrase Lutheran pastor Martin Niem\u00f6ller :<\/p>\n

\n

First, they came for America’s white nationalists, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a white nationalist.<\/p>\n

\n

Then they came for the anti-Israel activists, and I did not speak out – Because I supported Jewish Supremacism in Palestine.<\/p>\n

\n

Then they came for they came for the Revisionists, and I did not speak out – Because I was ignorant of Revisionism.<\/p>\n

\n

Then they came for me\u2014and there was no one left to speak for me.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n
