Jasper resident Monika Schaefer and her brother Alfred are on trial for inciting hate in Munich, Germany, according to B'nai Brith Canada.
Monika, a former Green Party of Canada candidate in Alberta, has been in custody since she was arrested at another hate crimes trial in January.
The siblings are on trial for charges stemming from a video they produced in July 2016 in which Monika denounced the Holocaust as the "most persistent lie in history" and claimed Jews in concentration camps were kept as "healthy and well-fed as possible."
Alfred was captured on video giving a Nazi salute at the end of a speech to a far-right rally, saying on June 30 in Nuremburg according to B'nai Brith that the "kikes" must be exterminated.
“We are fully confident that Alfred and Monika Schaefer will face justice for their relentless incitement against Jews in Germany and Canada,” B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn, said. “We applaud the perseverance of German authorities in pursuing this case.”
