June 23, 1997 Dear Gerhard Lauck, I am writing after reading about your case on the Internet. Harold Covington has publicised it widely. He was also very good to me when I was thrown into gaol on a bum rap, even though I am an anti-Nazi. I have also seen the odd reference to your case in the press here. On August 23, 1996 the London Times reported thus: German court jails American Hitler fanatic for four years Gary Lauck was gaoled for four years at Hamburg for "spreading banned Nazi propaganda, instigating racial hatred and using the swastika on material sent through the German mail." The following day the same newspaper carried the following story: Israel prepares to deport 100,000 foreign workers Israel is said to be drawing up plans to expel more than 100,000 illegal foreign workers "fearing they represent a social time bomb which could challenge the very identity of the Jewish state." One leading political/religious spokesman quoted thus: Israel was not intended as a refuge for "people from all over who do not belong here". Talk about chutzpah. Leaving this aside, your conviction and imprisonment is an affront to the rule of law. It is ironic that the people who make the most noise about the evils of Nazism are * creating a system which will make Hitler's tyranny look posit- ively benign. Yours sincerely, A Baron
