Az emberi méltóság védelme az „Auschwitz-hazugság”-gal szemben a német Szövetségi Alkotmánybíróság gyakorlatában

Abstract

The paper is written on the occasion of the Hungarian Holocaust Memorial Year to mark the 70th anniversary of the deportation of the Hungarian Jews. In the light of the decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court the author wishes to present the constitutional framework within which the protection of the human dignity might take place in opposition to the holocaust denial or, using the German terminology, Auschwitz-lüge. The Federal Constitutional Court protects the personal dignity of the members of contemporary Jewish communities as a right to identity. General personality rights are mostly derived from human dignity, therefore the human dignity core of the right to identity is unrestrictable.
