Dr Nicholas Kollerstrom, an astronomer who had his honorary fellowship at University College London withdrawn after he published an article claiming that the gas chambers at Auschwitz never existed, is reported in the Jewish Chronicle to have said:

“I have some very good Jewish friends and have never had the slightest interest in the Nazi movement. I never go to Germany. I have always belonged to things like the Green Party, CND and Respect.”

Ready for some more?

“Let us hope the schoolchildren visitors are properly taught about the elegant swimming pool at Auschwitz, built by the inmates, who would sunbathe there on Saturday and Sunday afternoons while watching the water polo matches; and shown the paintings from its art class, which still exist; and told about the camp library which had some 45,000 volumes for inmates to choose from, plus a range of periodicals; and the six camp orchestras at Auschwitz/Birkenau, its theatrical performances, including a children’s opera, the weekly camp cinema, and even the special brothel established there. Let’s hope they are shown postcards written from Auschwitz, some of which still exist, where the postman would collect the mail twice weekly.”

Sorry, but there is no way I’m linking to the source: a Nazi front organisation. You can find it easily enough yourself, if you must.
