His recent remarks to Germany's far right AFD party,(closest thing to a nazi party) didn't exactly clear him of the accusations, especially in light of holocaust remembrance day. Nazi types always scream that they're not guilty for the actions of their ancestors, but what they're actually guilty of is refusing to acknowledge the evil of they're ancestors. It's similar to racist white people in the US who refuse to acknowledge the evil of colonization by telling POC to get over it. We can never allow ourselves to forget the evil. Powerful little prices like your defendant, are working hard to whitewash that evil.
