Well education is always the remedy to ignorance.
However, as the other responder put it, very well, there are folks that won't be dissuaded regardless.
If you are looking for specific arguments, I find these to work:
1- No Concentration Camp commander, guard, or administrator EVERY denied that they killed Jews and other "undesirables'. Invariably their defenses were that "they were following orders".
One would think if this was a Zionist/Western conspiracy, the defendants would've LOUDLY asserted such.
2- Martin Borman's diary records the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" as being "extermination of the Jewish race". There are also RSHA (The parent org of the SS and Gestapo) that assert the same thing. It's in print, in primary sources.
3- How do the deniers explain away the extermination camps-which have literally reams of documents/artifacts (hair, clothes, glasses)? They can't

Do not any longer outlaw holocaust denial. Encourage expressions of holocaust denial by those who want. If one passes laws against holocaust denial, then eventually authorities will dictate that the subject of the holocaust is not to be discussed at all. The whole subject of the holocaust causes pain, unrest and discomfort, they'll say. Better to do away with the subject.

Educating all people on the full extent of the Holocost. It was not only Jews who were herded into concentration camps only to be tortured and murdered. Gypsies, homosexuals, little people, Christians who disagreed with Hitler's policies, and resistance fighters were among those killed.
Show photographs of the camps at the time of liberation. Find and read books documenting the atrocities done. Find and read biographies of those who were killed. Go to websites honoring those who died, such as the one listed below.

Just keep educating people. You can't change the minds of those who believe what they believe, so don't bother. But keep the Holocaust in the school curriculum, and children will keep believing in it. Keep it in the college curriculum, and they'll be able to confirm it for themselves. The rest of the people who deny it, there is probably little you can do about it. They are delusional, racist, or politically motivated.
