They are 'old' but they are still enforced and really in historical terms the holocaust was not that long ago and some of those that were the reason they were created are still alive. Germany has a similar law that was put there to fight against the remains of the Nazis. Again, I don't agree with jailing somebody for a thought or even expressing pretty horrid ideas. I just get how they came to be on the books. I am sure that over time they may very well be removed but I am also sure that people like Duke know when they go to a country like this they know that law is enforced. Almost like poking a dog with a stick.
