Brown appeared for questioning as a suspect.  A prosecutor from the branch of the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes Against the Polish Nation charged him with publicly and contrary to the facts denying the crimes of genocide committed by representatives of the Third Reich at the German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Specifically, this refers to his public statements in July 2025, in which he denied the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz and their use for the mass murder of prisoners. These remarks were made on Radio Wnet and on the YouTube program “Jan Pospieszalski rozmawia.” At that time, Braun stated that “Auschwitz with gas chambers is, unfortunately, a hoax.” The Institute of National Remembrance in Poland emphasized that these claims contradict historical facts confirmed by documents, eyewitness accounts, and the testimonies of the perpetrators themselves.
