French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen’s father gets suspended sentence over Nazi remarks

Le Pen, who founded the FN in 1972, had been convicted of racism or
anti-Semitism on a number of previous occasions. In 1987 he described the
Nazi gas chambers as a “detail of history”.

With the help of the Vichy government during World War II, the German
authorities deported more than 70,000 French Jews to death camps, and
thousands of French civilians died in reprisals by the German army.

In 2002 Le Pen shocked observers by making it through to the second round of
France’s presidential election.
