This is a paradox in some countries which claim are democratic countries and support democratically activities.
Even when historians want to issue some facts about WW II they aren't able to issue their opinion freely because some strange and anti-humans laws in Europe or US.
They aren't anti-Semitics. They are researchers and want to issue their research results about WW II and some historical fact which Zionists are abusing them.

The Holocaust was a horrible part in world history. How do I know? I am Polish, and I hear stories about the Holocaust on a daily basis. Polish people suffered a lot-- but not just them! The Germans, the Jews, the Czechs, the Slovaks..... They ALL suffered. It is an important part in our history, and ought to be studied so that the same steps will not be taken again.
As to your question, no, people shouldn't get thrown in jail because they say the Holocaust didn't happen. Why should they?

I don't think someone should be sent to jail just because he thinks or says the Holocaust didn't happen, but if he makes a website, publications and public speeches in order to convince ignorant people and to promote antisemitism it's a different matter. Ernst Zündel ist actually convicted because of sedition and I think he deserves to go to jail for what he did. That doesn't mean I would send every moron who denies the Holocaust here on this board to jail.

No. If they want to say that they should be entitled to. Its called freedom of speech. People who oppse them should have the confidence to confront these morons in open debate. Historical evidence from survivors, witnesses and even former Nazis along with captured Nazi documents all prove that the Holocaust was a reality. Trying to stop people denying that it happened simply makes it look as if there is something to hide and gives Holocaust deniers and conspiracy theorists credability

They should be kept In strait-jackets, in those kind of isolated stuffed-walled rooms of a Mental Hospital built JUST for them. Without heating system, and possibly without food either. Even lobotomy would do, though;)..I know this last remark is cruel, but people denying the Holocaust don't even deserve to be called human beings.

Of course not. That's like getting thrown in jail because I don't believe the Wizard of Oz gave the Tin Man a heart......

The great thing about the United States is our right to freedom of speech. While these people are ignorant and belong in the camps that so many suffered in, by throwing them in jail for their opinion you are taking away one of the things that makes America such a great place to live.

No,if they chose not to believe what is in front of their eyes,it's their own business...I don't think people should be thrown in jail from having a different opinion from other people...

there is some foundation for what they believe in but in order to do so they have to ignore alot of facts.
But the answer is NO, not in a society that has a constitution which says freedom of religion and freedom of speech is guaranteed.
What makes a person a criminal, is Murder and conspiracy to defraud. Rape and sodomy are also legal bounds that put people in prison. if not in this life but in the next

Fortunately, we all have the right to our own opinions and beliefs, unfortunately we can also feel free to deny the facts and then espouse them whenever we feel the need.
I won't give up my freedoms because someone else abuses theirs.
