I heard that it was in Germany, which makes more sense. Here it's just plain old ignorance.

It replaced into genuine one hundred% those photos are in basic terms one area of the Holocaust there are people alive immediately that undergo in concepts it like it replaced into the former day. some people have faith that it did no longer take place for many distinctive reasons and a few everybody is rather happy that it occurred yet there is mountains of evidence that it in actuality did take place and that the impression of it continues to be felt to this present day. the Holocaust is an journey in background which will continuously be debated six counsel on a thank you to Sunday yet while it comes all the way down to it the very rawness of it the unhappy actuality is definite the Holocaust did take place.

It isn't illegal, but it isn't very polite or even very sane to deny the reality of an event in which so many people lost their lives. Some of the families of those victims are still alive today and I know a few older people who barely escaped from nazi concentration camps themselves. Denial of the truth is technically legal, but it won't win you any friends other than some nazi friends.
I'm not trying to be mean about this. I really can't tell which side you are coming from- whether you are being faced with people who deny the truth or if you yourself are wondering if it's okay to deny. This is my answer for either side. It happened. We can acknowledge history and learn or we can deny history and remain ignorant, setting the scene for more genocide.

No, it's not against the law to deny the existence of the Holocaust!
It's just really, really ignorant to deny it!

Well you've got some great answers here, and 'Raylene D' appears to have covered every thing very well.
As she says 'Lipstadt' did remark that the way to fight Holocaust deniers is with history and with truth.
But we all know that this is not actually the case, history is not always written by the victors and the 'truth' does not always prevail.
But 'Raylene D' made a great reply!

Not against the law, just stupid. How can anyone deny it happened with all the evidence.

Its not illegal, but it should be. And the holocaust WAS world war 2, by the way.

One writer, a revisionist historian, lost a libel suit because he was a holocaust denier. He lost his academic standing (oddly he did have some) as well.
