Abstract:
Mahler (b. 1936), a lawyer and leader of a small radical-right organization called Deutsches Kolleg, was tried in 2004 in Berlin for incitement. He had proposed a 100-day program for the restoration of the German Reich (to replace the Republic, a Jewish-dominated product of the Allied occupation) in which Jews would be eliminated. He also asserted that hatred of Jews was normal and a sign of mental health. He claimed that the Second World War was the product of a Jewish world conspiracy to maintain financial domination, that the Jews had declared war on Germany already in 1933, and that the Holocaust was a lie fabricated by the Jews as a weapon against Germany - murder of the German soul through guilt feelings. Although Mahler spent eleven months of the trial reading from his own and other writings to demonstrate his theses, he did not obtain the hoped-for publicity. He was sentenced to nine months in jail.
