Ingrid Rimland
Ingrid Rimland or Rimland-Zündel (* 1936 in Molotschansk (formerly Molotschna colony ), Ukrainian SSR ; † October 25, 2017 ) was an American book author and Holocaust denier of Russian-German descent. She was the wife of revisionist Ernst Zundel and lived in the US - State of Tennessee .
Life
Her Russian Mennonite family followed the German Wehrmacht in 1943 , some of which withdrew to the West . Her escape brought her family to a suburb of Berlin , where she spent the last days of the Second World War . Her family then moved to Greifenhain, where she spent the next six months. To avoid deportation , her family fled to Detmold and lived there for the next three years. In 1948 the family emigrated to Paraguay , where Rimland married and had a child. In 1960 she emigrated to Canada , where she had her second child. She only immigrated to the USA in 1967 .
From 1995 to 2017 she was the webmaster of the Zündelsite , which disseminated Ernst Zündel's views . The homepage was indexed by the Federal Inspectorate for Media Harmful to Young People.
From 1996 to 2009 a daily newsletter, called Z-Gram , provided information about Zündel's criminal prosecution and provided his comments on current events during his detention. Rimland sent the newsletter regularly.
In her first novella, The Wanderers , published in 1977, Rimland described the exodus and flight of the German Mennonite communities from Ukraine. In 1998 she finally published the trilogy Lebensraum ; in her novel she told, among other things, of her own experiences during the Second World War and described the story of the Germans from Russia and their expulsion by Stalin .
After several years of close cooperation, Rimland married Ernst Zündel in January 2000 . Rimland moved from California to Tennessee, followed by her husband from Toronto, Canada. In 2003, Zündel was deported to Canada because his residence permit had expired and the deadline for extension had already expired. In February 2005, after just two years in prison, he was extradited to Germany and sentenced to another five years in prison. Ingrid Rimland then stayed in the USA. On March 1, 2010, Ernst Zündel was released from prison.
