No need to be Jewish to recognized the Holocaust. Even the Nazis admitted it at the end of the war in 1945. Of course they used all kinds of excuses to justify it but it didn't work. Any serious reader of Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany and World War II will accept the Holocaust as a given truth. No more nor less. What do you think?

People who deny the Holocaust usually have an anti-Semitic agenda; Islamic extremists deny it happened because they have a huge chip on their shoulder over the state of Israel.
You cannot rationalize religious prejudice; just because one group follows a certain religion doesn't make them evil.
I'm going to go out and say that some people might be envious of Jews because they probably have a better work ethic than those who hate them.

I think anyone with half a brain should realize that the Holocaust was real. I think it was 11 million total killed and 6 million Jews. How can someone not recognize those lives lost? The Germans recognized it and now view it as a terrible black mark on their history. They're not proud of it, except for a few radicals still hanging around, but there will always be those radicals. Americans and Soviets found the camps. The USSR got most of the worst in Poland when they found all those death camps like Auschwitz (sp?). And the Soviets made the Germans pay for it when they invaded Germany toward the end of the war. The Holocaust had its witnesses, nevermind the written documents and diaries. There's too much evidence to NOT recognize the Holocaust.

I particularly have no idea....what improvement is it to any person to disclaim some thing occurred while it particularly did occur? Why do not those men and women additionally deny the atomic bomb was once dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Why do not those men and women additionally deny that hundreds and hundreds of Indians had been murdered via white men and women with a purpose to take their land? Edit: @Tina: Oh, particularly? Show me a publish in which a Jewish character brings up the Holocaust? Go forward...oh, wait, you are not able to for the reason that it isn't the Jews who ask questions approximately the Holocaust...it is posters like this one or others who ask approximately the "hollowcost" or the "holohoax".

Of course the holocaust happened.
People deny it for a number of reasons.
Some deny it because the feel some importance in supporting conspiracy theories. Sort of like Rosy O,Donald.
Others need some group to whom they can feel superior. In this case they use the Jews to develop this self importance. If they recognized the reality of the holocaust they would have to pick a different group.
Some need to find self importance in feeling they are part of some special group and in this case it is Nazis.
Others just are not educated and accept every little unsubstanciated assertion which they come across.
There are a number of reasons and none of them valid or intelligent.

Well first of all, Jews were not denied because countries wouldn't find a place or a home for the Jews since the Balfour Declaration was issued for all Jews to go back home to the Levant or palestine. Some people deny the Holocaust because they are in shock that something horrible such as massive slaughtering of 6.5 Jews could happen and some countries denied it because they knew it was going on but didn't do anything in return to help them. the Jews during WWII were sent to many places such as Cuba but was rejected, now that the Holocaust is out in the open, some countries try to make up for it like the United States, which sends home to Israel 7 million dollars since the 1950s to help the Jews.

I totaly agree. Shame could probably one of the reasons for denial. Maybe the people who deny the Holocaust are people that are connected with the Nazis, but I can't be so sure. Or maybe, because members of the family (Jews) have been part of the Holocaust that remembering it causes enormous pain. So, in a way, they just deny that it ever happened altogether, to mask the pain that they feel. I may not have the correct reasons, but I certainly can't see the point of denying it either.

The Jewish Holocaust is denied in order to remove the reasoning for the Jews to return to Israel. You see, if the premise can be undermined then the argument is more easily won. The current leader of Holocaust denial is the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He would like the Israelis to have no claim on the Levant. This would strengthen the position of his fellow Muslims in the Arab world. Secondly it would give him reason to attack Israel and "drive them to the sea" as is his goal.

The reason they deny it is so to make an arguement against the movement of Israel to the middle east. Althogh I disagree with the Jewish movement there, onecannot deny that the Holocaust did not happen, given the overwhelming against for it.
