Holocaust denial
denial of the genocide of Jews in World War II / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holocaust denial is the claim that the Holocaust did not happen or was not as bad as people think it was. Historians agree that during World War II, the Nazis killed millions of people during the Holocaust, including many people in concentration camps. They agree that there is more proof in writing, pictures, and places about the Holocaust than any other great killing of people.
Holocaust deniers usually call themselves Holocaust revisionists.[1] They say that the Holocaust is a hoax that was made up by Jewish people working together.[2][3]
It is against the criminal law to deny the Holocaust in Israel and in many European countries, especially in Germany.[4] Some Holocaust deniers, like Ernst Zündel, have been charged with crimes.
