AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE JEWS WHO SUFFERED THE HOLOCAUST ….. MY BAD

German police probe British ex-model socialite for telling neo-Nazi rally 'the only Holocaust in Europe was against German civilians'

A British former model and socialite is being probed by German police after she questioned the Holocaust during a far-Right protest in Dresden.

Australian-born Michele Renouf is one of two people being investigated for remarks made at a neo-Nazi rally on Saturday commemorating those killed in the 1945 Allied bombing of the city.

Videos of the rally posted online show Lady Renouf saying the only Holocaust perpetrated in Europe was against German civilians.

Publicly denying the Nazis' well-documented murder of six million Jews is a criminal offence in Germany.

Lady Renouf has in the past supported Holocaust-deniers such as British historian David Irving.

Dresden police spokeswoman Jana Ulbricht said officers ordered the rally dissolved after determining that two speakers had broken the law.

Lady Renouf is the former wife of the late Sir Frank 'The Bank' Renouf, a wealthy New Zealand financier who was almost 30 years her senior.

The marriage collapsed in 1991 after only a few months.

In 2015, Lady Renouf was pictured attending a secret rally in London at which speakers unleashed anti-Semitic rants, referring to Jews as ‘the enemy’ and ‘children of darkness’.

Held in London’s Victoria, the meeting was described by experts as the most significant gathering of Holocaust deniers Britain had ever seen, with speakers invited from Spain, Canada and the United States.

The star speaker at the event was Spanish self-confessed Nazi Pedro Varela. Lady Renouf was pictured speaking to him outside the venue.

She has previously been quoted as saying: ‘People should have the freedom to question the accepted view of what happened.’

If you are ignorant about something then be quiet. If an ignorant person voices their ignorance then they are also stupid and that my friend is a bad combination.

Ignorance is common, forgivable and fixable. Stupidity, not so much.
