Ursula Haverbeck Komplettes Panorama Interview März 2015


"Der Holocaust ist die größte und nachhaltigste Lüge der Geschichte", sagt Ursula Haverbeck. Für sie hat die Massenvernichtung der Juden nicht stattgefunden. Und damit geht sie ganz offen um - auch im Panorama-Interview. Die rüstige 86-Jährige gilt unter Rechtsextremen als die "Ikone der Holocaust-Leugnung". Regelmäßig tritt sie auf Veranstaltungen auf, um ihre kruden Thesen zu verbreiten. Mehrfach wurde sie wegen Volksverhetzung verurteilt. 2003 verkündete sie auf der Wartburg in Eisenach "Den Holocaust gab es nicht" - unter anderem gemeinsam mit dem ehemaligen RAF-Anwalt Horst Mahler, der derzeit eine zwölfjährige Haftstrafe wegen Volksverhetzung absitzt.


Es ist wirklich erstaunlich, daß diese scheinbar sehr intelligente Frau den Holocaust verleugnen kann. Sicherlich hat sie, wie wir alle, die Bilder, Dokus und Zeugnisse gesehen und gelesen. Es gibt nichts zu verleugnen. Es war doch eine Tatsache. – @Mark

Holocaustleugnerin Ursula Haferbeck beim Gröning-Prozess (28.04.2015 Panorama)


Historisch ist auf jeden Fall belegt, dass der eigentliche Schuldige am Holocaust das Gutmenschentum der Weimarer Republik war, das damals den Putschisten Adolf Hitler schon sehr frühzeitig aus dem Gefängnis entlassen hatte.

Auch hatten einst nicht die Nazis den Zweiten Weltkrieg begonnen, sondern dies war die damalige Sowjetunion mit ihrem Eroberungsfeldzug; wobei dann schließlich auch Finnland kriegerisch überfallen wurde, worauf dann Deutschland den Gegenangriff eröffnete.

Why There Is No Way Back for Religion in the West | David Voas | TEDx | UniversityofEssex


Religion is in decline across the Western world. Whether measured by belonging, believing, participation in services, or how important it is felt to be, religion is losing ground. Society is being transformed, and the momentum appears to be unstoppable.

You might be asking yourself two questions. Is it actually true? And even if religion is currently losing ground, could things change in the future?

David is a quantitative social scientist with a background in demography. He serves on the executive committee of the European Values Study and is co-director of British Religion in Numbers (www.brin.ac.uk), an online centre for British data on religion that has received recognition as a British Academy Research Project. He serves on the editorial boards of the British Journal of Sociology and the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. With Mike Brewer, David directs the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC). He is also Deputy Director of ISER.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
