A blogger accused of calling Auschwitz a “theme park”  and gas chambers a “hoax” appeared in court today after a Jewish charity brought a private prosecution against her.

Alison Chabloz, 52, is accused of posting a "grossly offensive" video, called "Survivors",  online on June 8 this year.

The prosecution has been brought by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, which said it decided to do so after the Crown Prosecution Service did not press charges.

The video allegedly involved Chabloz performing a song to the camera, which included lyrics such as "Did the Holocaust ever happen? Was it just a bunch of lies? Seems that some intend to pull the wool over our eyes", according to the charity.
