Answer 1

You have a good point. I'd say, morons deny it.

Answer 2

yeah thats a very deep question
yeah i am being sarcastic
obviously someone who knows nothing at all about history will say that.
i have yet to learn the mentality behind denying something there is evidence all over for...it is like denying you own existence to say the holocaust never happened.
oh yes and 11 million people died in total...6 million jews and 5 million gypsies, homosexuals, political opponents, and the handicapped.
the word holocaust means "burning" which is howthey died and it was genocide defined as a systematic extermination of a select group of individuals.

Answer 3

Holocaust denial (commonly called Holocaust revisionism by its supporters) is the belief that the genocide of Jews and other minority groups during World War II — the Holocaust — did not occur, or it did occur, but not to the extent that is currently held to be true by most.

Key elements of this belief are the explicit or implicit rejection that, in the Holocaust:

--The Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews, people of Jewish ancestry, and the Roma (also known as Gypsies) for extermination as a people;
--More than five million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies.
--Tools of efficient mass extermination, such as gas chambers, were used in extermination camps to kill Jews.

In addition, most Holocaust denial implies, or openly states, that the Holocaust is a hoax which is the result of a deliberate Jewish conspiracy created to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other peoples. For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Because of this, Holocaust denial has been illegal in many European countries since shortly after World War II, as their governments hold that it is motivated by an anti-Semitic or neo-Nazi agenda.

Holocaust deniers do not accept "denier" as an appropriate term to describe their point of view, using the term "Holocaust revisionists" instead. They are nevertheless commonly labeled "Holocaust deniers" to differentiate them from historical revisionists who consider their goal to be historical inquiry using evidence and established methodology; Holocaust deniers, on the other hand, try to prove that the Holocaust did not occur, regardless of historical evidence.

Other acts of genocide have met similar attempts to deny and minimize. Gregory H. Stanton, formerly of the US State Department and the founder of Genocide Watch, lists denial as the final stage of a genocide development: "Denial is the eighth stage that always follows a genocide. It is among the surest indicators of further genocidal massacres. The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. They deny that they committed any crimes, and often blame what happened on the victims."

Answer 4

Quite a few. Mostly to pour salt in wounds that have yet to heal. Do you mean the Armenian Holocaust of WW1 or the better known WWII Holocaust? Both are denied by many. The Armenians have fought for so long for recognition, it was equally horrific.

Now, for someone to say that it was EXAGGERATED is not only offensive, but a matter of ignorant opinion.

Answer 5

What?!?!?!! The Holocaust is real?!?!?!??! WOAH! JUST KIDDING! I've heard people that claim it was a rouse....a lot of these same people believe that the victims of 9/11 were paid to pretend to be dead and that the buildings were empty in the first place. I don't see how anyone could possibly believe that to be true....they're just some ignorant fools.

Answer 6

It's really hard to deny that something that was on such a big scale with all the eye-witness accounts, testimonies, etc. Holocaust deniers usually have an agenda.

Answer 7

I knew several people that spent time in the consternation camps and My father while stationed in Germany during the Korean war was one of the troops that had to view the captured films to see which of them could be shown to the civilians

Answer 8

You'll never hear me denying it--it's far too well-documented, and not just by the victims or their sympathizers.

The Nazis prided themselves on their thoroughness, and not all of their records of the atrocities were destroyed.

Some vast conspiracy? I don't think so. A lot of revisionist history making the rounds? I think that idea has a lot more merit.

Answer 9

Not I... my grandparents slipped out to Switzerland in 1936. The rest of their family died (German Jews).

And for the idiot who asked for the list... go to the Holocaust museum... it was AMAZING the lists and records the Germans kept.. very efficient.

Answer 10

My Father became a Paraplegic due to his service in the US Military during WWII -- and yes, the men in his unit saw 1st hand the atrocities when they liberated them ...

Answer 11

So...all the books, photographs, personal accounts, trials, and journals are just lying?

That's total bunk. If you deny it, it will happen again. Look at how Americans treated African Americans? They denied it for hundreds of years, and now they're doing the same thing to the Muslim-Americans.
