Quick Facts Born, Died ...

On 18 July 2007 the newspaper Information wrote that Haaest in September 1977 had published a pamphlet asserting that the Nazi concentration camp gas chambers never existed and that the Diary of Anne Frank was a forgery. This caused the Danish Arts Council to be condemned since it had funded Haaest's research into Danes who had served in the SS.[2] Information subsequently brought a retort from Haaest where he claimed to have been deliberately misquoted and referred to the allegations as an outrageous lie made to discredit and sabotage his authorship regarding Danish pro-Nazi collaborators.[3]
