Ernst Christof Friedrich Zündel (German: [ˈtsʏndl̩]; 24 April 1939 – 5 August 2017) was a German neo-Nazi publisher and pamphleteer of Holocaust denial literature. He was jailed several times: in Canada for publishing literature "likely to incite hatred against an identifiable group", and on charges of being a threat to national security; in the United States, for overstaying his visa; and in Germany for charges of "inciting racial hatred". He lived in Canada from 1958 to 2000. In 1977, Zündel founded a small press publishing house called Samisdat Publishers, which issued neo-Nazi pamphlets such as his co-authored The Hitler We Loved and Why and Richard Verrall's Did Six Million Really Die?
