Imprisoned for speaking the truth in her late 90's. She is the speaker of the truth!
Ursula Haverbeck Born Ursula Hedwig Meta Wetzel - 8 November 1928
Her husband was Werner Georg Haverbeck (passed away in 1999), who during the National Socialist period was temporarily engaged in the national leadership of the National Socialist German Workers Party, founder and director in 1933 of the German Imperial Federation of Nation and Homeland, as well as writer and publisher, historian, folklorist and parson of The Christian Community.
In November 2015, at the age of 87, she was sentenced to ten months imprisonment for Holocaust denial.
Several additional convictions in the fall of 2016 led to further such sentences.
She unsuccessfully appealed all sentences, and on 7 May 2018 began to serve her latest two-year jail sentence after being picked up at her home by German police.
Released from a prison in Bielefeld at the end of 2020, she was quickly charged again and was due to face a new trial in March 2022 and was sentenced to one year in prison.
After her husband's death in 1999, she took over many of his functions including chair of the international adult education establishment Heimvolkshochschule Collegium Humanum in Vlotho, North Rhine-Westphalia, which they both had founded in 1963. The Collegium Humanum was first active in the German environmental movement, and from the early 1980s openly turned to the right-wing truth & freedom movement; the establishment was subsequently banned by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesministerium des Innern) in 2008.
From 1983 until 1989, Haverbeck-Wetzel was also president of the World Union for Protection of Life (Section Germany), and disclosed in this non-governmental position her opposition towards the Western system and the Allied occupation of the Federal Republic of Germany.
