Youtuber calling Auschwitz a "theme park" convicted for performing anti-Semitic songs

Alison Chabloz guilty: Blogger convicted for performing anti-Semitic songs about the Holocaust

Blogger Alison Chabloz, who wrote and performed anti-Semitic songs about the Holocaust, has been found guilty of posting "grossly offensive" material.

The 54-year-old was convicted at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday of three charges relating to three self-penned songs.

District judge John Zani said he was satisfied the material of the songs was grossly offensive and that Chabloz intended to insult Jewish people.

Adrian Davies, defending, previously told Judge Zani his ruling would be a landmark one, setting a precedent on the exercise of free speech.

Around 20 supporters of the musician groaned when the verdict was given with some shouts of "shame" from the public gallery.

The songs featured lyrics about Nazi persecution, the young diarist Anne Frank, and lines suggesting the Holocaust was "a bunch of lies".

Chabloz uploaded songs to YouTube, including one defining Nazi death camp Auschwitz as "a theme park" and the gas chambers a "proven hoax".

Two alternate charges were dismissed and sentencing is expected on Friday afternoon.

The decision comes only weeks after YouTuber Count Dankula was found guilty of a similar charge for posting footage of his girlfriend's pug "performing a Nazi salute" while he shouted "Gas the Jews".

To show how inaccurate the media can be, that last part is incorrect. Count Dankula taught the pug two commands. The first one was to get the pug to act all excited when he said to the dog "Gas the Jews?!" The second command was to make the Nazi salute when he said "Seig Heil!"

Yes, a relative small inaccuracy, but one none the less.
