A Dutch court has convicted a Polish-Canadian man for beaming a Holocaust-denying slur on Anne Frank's House in Amsterdam, in a case that sparked widespread shock in the Netherlands.

The court in Amsterdam sentenced the man, identified as 42-year-old Robert W., to two months behind bars, less than the six months called for by prosecutors.
