I think Broder is somehow hovering over the same problem, i.e. in what extent a Jew can or should be a German - There has always been a tension within the Jewish European communities vis-a-vis the correct amount of integration in one or another nation (disclaimer: I am not Jewish) – and I remember reading a few years an interview with Bronffman in LA Times, interview where he complained that the French Jews are first French, then Jews.

There is Holocaust denial that is against the law and not only in Germany either. However, one can freely deny communism which murdered millions of people and that's okay. I don't think it should be a crime and people should be free to discuss it without fear of going to jail. I think the laws are not the same for everyone.

I haven't heard much dissent from them, though I'm only there ~ 1 month during visits. The environment to me seems very copasetic. Then again, I'm not Jewish nor live in Germany. Interesting interview. I'll definitely research more into the subject. I have Jewish friends in Dusseldorf who are very much involved with the community.
