My parents and grand parents were/are survivors of the holocaust and yet when I read that Austria put Hans Rauscher in jail for a book he wrote in 1989 I am uncomfortable. I know that Austria and Germany were the birth place of Hitler and his twisted vision but to place someone in jail for speech somehow rubs me the wrong way. I cannot say that should I cross paths with this hair ball I would not be tempted to turn him into a blood stain but for a nation state to sanction his internment somehow seems wrong. A editorial in El Mundo (a publication in Spain) said that it seems unfair to put him in jail while others who manipulate/twist history such as Stalins purge, the Inquisition, African American history, Native American history … all get a free pass.

Am I off base? Is there something I am missing?
