Democrat candidate denies the Holocaust

A Democrat candidate in Alabama who denies the Holocaust occurred and seeks to "reawaken white racial awareness" is causing problems for state party leaders. Larry Darby, running for attorney general, believes fewer than 140,000 Jews died in Europe during World War II and contends most of them were afflicted with typhus, the Associated Press reported. The candidate, head of the Atheist Law Center, says the commonly held number of 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis is a false claim of the "Holocaust industry." The AP said Darby is scheduled to speak Saturday in New Jersey at a meeting of National Vanguard, a group that considers itself an advocate for white people.
