Hubert Aiwanger rejects claims he wrote leaflet mocking the Holocaust when he was a 17-year-old schoolboy
reported on Saturday that it had spoken to “around two dozen people” connected with the incident at Aiwanger’s secondary school. They claimed Aiwanger had been the leaflet’s author and described how its discovery in a toilet in 1987 had sparked a scandal, which led to an internal inquiry, and to Aiwanger being given a penalty, though it remained unclear whether the punishment was ever carried out., has since been picked up by every respectable German publication and broadcaster.
Bavaria faces a state election in October and the revelations are expected to play a prominent part in the campaign and its outcome. He urged Aiwanger to respond “comprehensively and in person” to outstanding crucial questions, rather than in written form. Hermann said the reputation of the southern German state was at stake.
In the typed pamphlet, which was formulated as an apparent protest boycott of an official competition about how to best commemorate Germany’s murderous role in the 20th century, the author wrote that they were on the search for “the biggest traitor of the fatherland”.
