ITALIAN UNIVERSITY STOPS LECTURE BY HOLOCAUST DENIER

Italian campus denies denier (JTA)
An Italian university shut down to prevent a lecture by a Holocaust denier. The head of the University of Teramo, in central Italy, ordered the shutdown Friday after it failed to dissuade Robert Faurisson from appearing. Faurisson, who has been prosecuted in his native France for arguing that the Nazi gas chambers were a myth, had been invited by a history professor at the university. Jewish groups said the invitation was unbecoming of a serious academic institution.
