On Telegram, an Ontario-based neo-Nazi fitness club wrote: "[Redacted] was one of the staunchest warriors for truth the world has ever known. [She] refused to accept state and media approved 'facts' she knew to be lies. She faced state and legal oppression and slander but never broke or backed down. She will be remembered as a hero. Folk-Family-Future."

He wrote: "[Redacted] died today at 96 years old She spent the last years of her life in prison Her crime was saying the holocaust didn't happen the way Hollywood says it did She was alive when it happened yet the people who locked her up weren't yet born This is what Jewish Supremacy looks like."

France

On X, a French ultranationalist leader shared a post paying tribute to the deceased Nazi. He wrote: "[Redacted], the great lady of revisionism in Germany, died today. She had been imprisoned at the age of 90 for her revisionist positions. She had only recently been sentenced to prison. Respect for this great lady with strong convictions."

Germany

The leader of the youth branch of a German neo-Nazi party posted a photo of the woman. He wrote: "A great woman who fought for our freedom of expression until the very last day has left us. Rest in peace […] Every nationalist should honor her name and remember her, as well as her work."

A neo-Nazi party posted an image of the Nazi and wrote: "At the age of 96, one of Germany's greatest dissidents has been called to the great army. With the death of [redacted], the German nation loses one of the most courageous fighters for historical truth, who was also prepared to give up her personal freedom for the sake of freedom of expression and research."

Scandinavia

A pan-Scandinavian neo-Nazi organization posted a photo of the Nazi on their Telegram channel, writing: "A true fighter and role model has left us. We have received the tragic news of the death of [redacted] earlier today. [Redacted], who turned 96 just over a week ago, has been an active campaigner for truth and justice all her life. She grew up in National Socialist Germany and has spent several terms in prison for challenging lies about Germany spread by the victorious powers. In recent years, she has been in and out of prisons, each time simply for uttering words that the German authorities have decided should not be spoken. She never lost hope or faith that the truth would eventually prevail. [She] was a true fighter who inspired thousands of freedom fighters around the world and whose memory will continue to inspire struggle. It is with great sadness that the [Scandinavian neo-Nazi organization] has received the news that the heroine has passed away peacefully in her home today. We promise and swear to continue her fight! [Redacted] present!"
