A former Nazi SS member denied the Holocaust during a speech at a Wisconsin military academy. According to local reports, Konrad Mikula told more than 120 students at the Kenosha Military Academy that he does not believe in the existence of Nazi concentration camps and that World War II history is simply propaganda. The Anti-Defamation League called the visit “outrageous, grossly insensitive and shameful.”
