Dutch Groups Sue
Belgian Deniers

The Hague, Netherlands
(JTA) — In what may be the
first such suit to cross inter-
national borders, Dutch
human rights groups have
filed a civil suit here against
a Belgian society that has
published pamphlets deny-
ing that the Holocaust oc-
curred.
The suit is enabled by a
European Community
regulation that permits a
resident of one E.C. member
state suing a resident of an-
other.
Belgian law makes it
difficult to prosecute some-
one for a printing offense
and offers almost no legal
recourse against Holocaust
revisionists. Holocaust
deniers in the Netherlands,
however, have been fined.
Two Jewish groups, B'nai
B'rith and the Center for In-
formation and Documenta-
tion on Israel, are joined in
the suit by two other anti-
racist organizations, the
Anne Frank Foundation and
the National Bureau on
Combatting Racism.
The suit charges the
publishing house, the
Belgian Society for Free
Historical Research, its
publisher, L. van den
Bossche and its spokesman,
Siegfried Verbeke, with
disseminating pamphlets
that claim the Jews were
sent to the gas chambers
only to be cleaned of lice.
The pamphlets,
"American Expert Destroys
the Gas-Chamber Legend"
and "The Six-Million Holo-
caust," also charge that the
Jews have perpetrated the
Holocaust as a hoax in order
to reap continual financial
benefits. They also say the
Anne Frank diary is a
falsification.
The pamphlets have been
sent to homes in the Nether-
lands.
Ronnie Naftaniel, director
of the Center for Informa-
tion, said that "the actual
senders are difficult to trace,
but the Belgian publishers
are not."
The plaintiffs are asking
the court in The Hague to
rule that the parties be
stopped from further
publishing and spreading
denials of the Holocaust.
The lawsuit charges that
the publications hurt Holo-
caust survivors and their
families, falsify history and
pave the way for a society in
which racism once again
becomes accepted.

Mr. Verbeke, the publisher -
of the material, claims the
Holocaust "is a dogma which <
has been proven to have.
never occurred."
In the 1970s, he published
an anti-Semitic and anti- '1
foreigner monthly that in-
cluded Holocaust denial.
In 1981, police raided his ,
printing house and fount
large quantities of Nazi lit-
erature and anti-Semitk
stickers.

Demonstrators hailed the

Forum, Istvan Csurka,
whose anti-Semitic out-
bursts have come under

ago labeled Goncz as "an
agent of Tel Aviv."
Opposition parties have
called for the resignation
the interior minister, 1 - titer
Boross, for failing to ;
effective action to curl-
demonstrators.
