What effect do you think this will have on our future generations, groups of people denying the holocaust ever happened?
It worries me quite a bit.

I will never let those close to me believe in the crap that the Holocaust NEVER happened. My grandmother suffered in concentration camps, saw her OWN MOTHER killed by the Gestapo, and lost her entire family to the Nazis. Same with my Grandfather. It is disgusting that people deny this happened. Let them take a walk through Auschwitz and see all the human hair, shoes, and belongings taken away from the innocent people by the Nazis on display there. What could they say to that???
It's pure ignorance and hatred that people deny the Holocaust ever happened. It is terrible for the people who lived through it to have to hear objections to it ever happening. How would those who deny it like it if they went through the same thing?
And how can you dispell all the photographs, historical accounts, and victims??? Oh that's SOME conspiracy, huh?
I'm sorry, it just never ceases to digust me that people have the gaul to deny the Holocaust . . .

really there will always be people that feel by denying things that it makes it go away how many times have we heard that Elvis is still alive man never landed on the moon it was an elaborate hoax however these crazies aside you can deny what you like believe or not believe it still does not change fact a visit to any of the old concentration camps will slam reality home very quickly mountains( and this is no exaggeration)( sorry my spelling is rough )of shoes and glasses suitcases etc the important thing to learn from this exceptionally relevant question is that its only by accepting our past mistakes that we can move on and not make the same mistakes again and again if we had remembered the lessons from the Vietnam war would we have been so quick to rush to Iraq ,and whatever other country we have invaded since i started answering this question
I think we have all seen the inscriptions on monuments that reads 'lest we forget' i think the message we should take from this is that making mistakes is part of being human but making the same mistakes again and again and again now that's just stupid. by denying our past especially something as horrific as the holocaust we run the incredibly dangerous risk of repeating the mistake
the only thing that could be worse than the holocaust would be another one
Peace

I think it will be labeled as one of those curiosities of history, just like the "fads" for wearing swastikas that pop up now and again. Some people take the extreme because they would rather be extreme than be accurate. In this case, they start with "it couldn't possibly be like that; people are not that degraded," and end up with the attempt to support the still less plausible hypothesis that anyone would be able to maintain such a "fraud" for so long, in the face of so many eye witnesses. But the eyewitnesses are mostly getting old now, so they had better record or write down their stories, before the details are lost. That's my worry now. Will we lose precious information to Old Timers' Disease?
The personal part about your own grandfather or great uncle or even great aunt or grandmother. Whoever currently remains with memories of World War II and the immediate aftermath, as Europe was cleaned up after, needs to record what they remember. Please don't put it off.

No one credible believes these handful of crackpots.
Don't forget we have places like The Holocaust Museum and the Weisenthal Center for the future generations. Not to mention the gas chambers themselves.
Rest easy. Besides, there are better things to worry about.

It should,the survivors of the death camps are dying off and will soon be gone,I think it will be even easier to deny it then.
It goes hand in hand with us in America & even more so the people in Europe yielding to backward Muslims!

There's too much documentation. I don't think it'll ever become widespread. It would be like people denying evolution if we had videos actually showing the process for millions of years.

Ive never heard of people like that. I dont think that it will because so many ppl know it happened and its in all kinds of history books but maybe it could. That would be really sad if it did.

It will be remembered like every other human tragedy-"It happened a long time ago, its a different world now".That's what they said in 1939 as well.

What really worries me is people denying Evolution. THAT is what we should worry about! Our kids are going to grow up believing in magic and fairies.

Unless Iran takes over the world, I think we'll be alright.
