Antisemitic provocateur Grzegorz Braun also called the blood libel of "ritual murder" real.
Polish authorities are considering criminal charges against a lawmaker who said last week that the Nazi gas chambers were “fake” but antisemitic blood libels were true, according to the Associated Press.
Speaking to Poland’s Wnet radio on Thursday, lawmaker Grzegorz Braun, a high-profile antisemite who in winter used a fire extinguisher to put out Hanukkah candles at the Polish parliament, said that “ritual murder is a fact, and such a thing as Auschwitz with its gas chambers is unfortunately a fake,” according to the Polish Press Agency. The reporter then ended the interview.
The incident followed a scandal over a ceremony earlier on Thursday that centered on the denial of the slaughter of hundreds of Jews in 1941 in the eastern town of Jedwabne.
