Hubert Aiwanger rejects claims he wrote leaflet mocking the Holocaust when he was a 17-year-old schoolboy

Hubert Aiwanger was the focus of an extraordinary session of the German state’s coalition on Monday, after the emergence of the leaflet he is accused of distributing at school, 35 years ago, which makes repeated mocking references to the Holocaust.
