You seem to be unable to understand your own words.
Try using a dictionary for getting some self-understanding.

Oh yeah, Jules -- the Holocaust never happened, Hiroshima was set on fire by a lit cigarette, and the American South was full of happy little volunteers, singing anthems of praise to Massa and Mistis as they worked cheerfully in the cotton fields.

Give us a break, lady. Just because you're not old enough to know soldiers who were involved in the liberation of Auschwitz and the other death camps, that doesn't mean all of us are that young and uninformed.

Edit:

Why do we get so agitated? Perhaps it's because we've seen what revisionist history can do to a nation's mindset.

That, and some of us are familiar with the book "1984." The technique of erasing history and substituting a convenient fiction in its place is how Big Brother managed to gain and keep control over the people.

Most people do know(knew) a holocaust survivor or a soldier who helped to liberate those camps - denying it really downplays the horrible things that both these groups went through.

For instance, my grandfather liberated one of these camps, but before that he stormed the beach at Normandy and took German artillery fire for 72 straight hours in the ardennes.

Down the street is a holocaust survivor, He doesn't talk about it, but everyone knows he is one becasue he still has the tattoo on his arm.

my grandfather is dead now, but the guy down the street isn't, he was younger during world war 2, just a child.

You must have a nasty and vile streak to want to solicit such responses,
My dear father who is now dead, was at the Belsen concentration camp as a translator for the British army. He was traumatised at the destruction of human life there.Tears would well up in his eyes when talked about it or He watched anything about the WW11 Holocaust.especially the tv series 'World at war' he was there and saw all the aftermath of the atrocities. That's why people get so upset at the Holocaust denials....

Because for a hoax, there sure a ton of video footage of it. Also, a large group of people were affected by it and there are still people alive today who remember it. It was painful. So to say it didn't happen, is like calling those people liars. no one likes to be called a liar. Also a hoax is someones idea of humor. Believe me, the people who lived through it did not find it funny. One man I have met lost his whole family because of it.

What makes you think it was a hoax?

Because millions of people died in the Holocaust and it's offensive to just act like it didn't happen. How would you feel if someone went around saying Sept. 11 never happened? It would be offensive and unpatriotic. Well, the Holocaust was worse than Sept. 11 because more people died and it lasted longer.

my dear julia,by saying that you are informing us than that presumes that you have knowledge that we are unaware of regarding the carnage that killed 6 million and scarred countless jews and others deemed undesirable by the third reich.viewing your avatar ,if you were around at the time you would most likely have first hand experience to answer your own question.
at any rate the insensitivity of the question is most likely the cause of the "agitation" that you describe. i can only apologize if you are made uncomfortable when you make a mockery of the suffering and death of millions of innocent people ,and i'm sure that the survivors owe you a debt of gratitude for pointing out that their entire families and loved ones weren't really wiped out ,probably just mass suicide
,i'll call one of my dear friends delusional mother and tell her that she wasn't really in any danger at the death camp when her future husband liberated her in 1945 she probably tattooed her own forearm out of sheer boredom. it's a shame her husband of 50 years died thinking he had saved her.
thank you so much for the heads up ,and i'll kick your a** when we meet in hell.

Pardon me for saying the following;

YOU ARE A STUPID FUKING KUNT!!!!!!

Those are misspelled because Yahoo would turn them into stars. Now, the reason why people like me get agitated is because I personally met an Auschwitz survivor and a former Nazi Guard of Auschwitz. They both put the past behind them and work at the same building, but both of them would, if legal, beat the hell out of you. The survivor has the barcode tattoo on his arm and has the scars of beating from Nazi Guards. Unfortunately, although I normally don't hate people I haven't met in person, for you I'll make the exception.

You're not "informing" anyone. Agitation comes from frustration that someone could say anything that denies any documented historical fact. I could easily deny the French revolution, I wasn't there, but would that matter?

you appear to be an african american woman ...does it agitate you a bit or anyone you know in the african community if i said slavery is just a hoax. they really werent held as slaves and whipped and hung or mistreated in any way. its all just a made up story we all want our grandparents to tell us before they tuck us in so we can watch the tears run down their face when they think of the loved ones they lost.... hope you have a good night rest in your comfy bed and may the rediculous question haunt your dreams tonight.

People get offended when people deny the Holocaust because it was a brutal, shameful, disgusting attempt to destroy a whole section of humanity.
I think shame plays a part too..that our countries would not/could not stop it from happening.
