Just weeks after finishing a two and a half year prison sentence for Holocaust denial, 92-year-old Ursula Haverbeck has been convicted again by German courts, this time for an interview she gave in 2018 that affirmed her view that Jews were not systematically killed during World War II and that the gas chambers at Auschwitz are a politically motivated lie.
If the federal courts sentence of one year in Haverbecks newest case holds up, Germany will have the dubious distinction of imprisoning the oldest female inmate in the world, a title previously held by American Lucille Keppen, who was incarcerated for shooting her neighbor and was released at age 93.
The German government has been dragging Haverbeck to court for decades for disputing Jewish claims of gas chambers and systematic murder. Haverbeck has famously protested the kangaroo courts that humiliate and defame elderly war veterans using bogus testimony from survivors.

I recall watching an episode of The Waltons.
In that particular episode, a couple of the Walton boys accidentally broke the window of a Jewish couple who fled persecution in Nazi Germany.
They must have had some real money to come to America. Most of them went to Palestine.
But Grandpa Walton went to talk to them about what happened. The wife of the Jewish couple told the husband, "Listen to him. He is older."
Grandpa told them, "If the boys had broken their window they would pay to have it repaired."
Wisdom comes with age and experience. But you need some common sense thrown into the mix also. ;)

Those camps were called "death camps" because of the Typhus epidemics which raged thru them.
Even Anne Frank died from Typhus.
BTW, Germany asked the U.S. to sell them DDT to kill the lice which carried Typhus. The U.S. refused. So Germany did the best they could with what they had. ;)

A lot of people have been mentally trained to consider any "denial" that these were "death camps" to mean that the camps did not exist. It should be made clear they did exist, and were likely slave labor camps which is still a crime. WW2 Germany certainly would not have simply eliminated a labor resource wholesale during times of great wartime need, and Germans then and I think, still today to their credit, are an efficient minded people. And yes death did occur in these, doubtless in great numbers, particularly toward wars end as Germany's supply infrastructure was destroyed.
I think that is factually accurate, and conveying that can help avoid having people turn off the message instantly. War is hell, and a lot of people globally suffered and died unjustly because of it.

Rudolph Hess flew to Britain in an attempt to negotiate peace on 10 May 1941. ;)

Very close. ;)

During the Battle of Dunkirk from May 26 to June 4, 1940, some 338,000 British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and other Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk to England
Plus:
On May 10, 1940, the so-called phony war ended decisively when Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium in a blitzkrieg (German for lightning war) attack.
