Yes, the short answer is that it was on the same server, webcom, as a
holcaust revisionist site, along with thousands of other sites. The
censors basically removed webcom from German Domain Name Servers. By
this morning the holocaust revisionist site was being mirrored at
major american universities, so the censors have backed off. At least
folks in Germany can get through to the Heidegger home page again.
There's a site following this brouhaha:
