Leading questions about the Holocaust have been sent in the form of a questionnaire to a number of Belgian families, it was reported by the World Jewish Congress. The questionnaire, which asks Belgians whether they believe Germans made soap from the bodies of Auschwitz victims, has been compiled by the French publishing house, La Vicille Taupe (The Old Mole).
The firm specializes in publishing books and pamphlets which deny the Holocaust, including a thesis proposing that the gas chambers were a fabrication, the WJCongress pointed out. Belgian Jewish organizations are being extra-vigilant at this latest manifestation of neo-Nazi activity.
