The American Jewish Committee filed a lawsuit Friday against Amazon-Germany for selling books it says question the Holocaust and "trivialize" the Nazis. The AJC says there are about 50 titles available on Amazon.de that question the Holocaust and promote Nazis.

Some, the AJC says, are labelled by German authorities as inappropriate under 18s.
"It is unacceptable that books are for sale on Amazon.de that normally are only available under the counter in far-right extremist shops," said AJC-Berlin director Deidre Berger. "We cannot let the spread of Internet sales erode laws that ban Holocaust denial and incitement to hatred of minorities in Germany."
A spokeswoman for Amazon Germany denied it sold any books that were banned or not suitable for those under 18.
"We think that the best response to questionable literature is not removing them but more discussion," a spokeswoman told AFP.
