(IsraelNN.com) The 150-year-old Turn Verein ("gymnastic club" in German) social club in Sacramento, California booted out a Holocaust-deniers conference that was to take place on its premises this coming weekend. The conference, organized under Walter Mueller's European American Culture Council, had to be cancelled.
Turn Verein spokespeople claim that they were unaware of the nature of the conference at the time the reservations were made. However, as soon as the matter was brought to their attention this week, Sacramento Turn Verein withdrew their agreement to host the 325-person anti-Semitic conference and returned the European American Culture Council deposit on the hall.
The club was started shortly after the Gold Rush by German and Swiss immigrants to America. Today, it has members of many faiths and extractions.

"The Nation" -- that's a hyper-leftist, Israel-hating, destroy-American snotrag. What will they do now for revenue if they don't accept ads from Holocaust deniers?
Must have just received big donations from George Soros and Mrs. Heinz-Kerry.
