1:08:05
The wardens and commissioners
were receiving
very heavy pressure...

1:08:08
from Jewish groups.
1:08:18
[ Woman ]
There is no slippery slope
for Mr. Fred Leuchter.

1:08:22
The man...
is an anti-Semite.

1:08:35
[ Shapiro ] There are
hatemongers in this country,
and he's one of them.

1:08:39
He handed over
his entire life
and reputation...

1:08:44
to the cause
of spreading hatred.

1:08:47
He didn't stop.
He kept on going.

1:08:51
He could've gotten out
any time.

1:08:56
What kind of man is he?
And why is he doing this?

1:08:59
And what kind of reflection
is this upon our community?

1:09:12
[ Tabasky ]
To me, he looks like
he's almost under a spell,

1:09:15
and I think he is.
1:09:17
He's under his own spell.
1:09:19
He truly believed...
1:09:22
what he was doing
was right.

1:09:27
[ Leuchter ]
I testified in Canada
for two reasons.

1:09:31
First, the trial was
an issue of freedom of speech...

1:09:35
and freedom of belief.
1:09:39
As an American,
one who supports
the Bill of Rights,

1:09:44
I believe that Mr. Zündel
has the right to believe
and say what he chooses.

1:09:49
I have this right
in the United States.

1:09:52
Secondly,
1:09:54
Mr. Zündel was not on trial
for a misdemeanor.

1:09:57
This was a major felony.
1:09:59
He could've faced
up to 25 years in prison...
