Holocaust denial is the belief that the genocide of Jews and other minority groups during World War II — the Holocaust — either did not occur, or did not occur to the extent described by current scholarship.
Key elements of this belief are the explicit or implicit rejection that the Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews, people of Jewish ancestry, and the Gypsies for extermination as a people; that between five and seven million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and that tools of mass extermination such as gas chambers were used in extermination camps to kill Jews.
Most Holocaust denial claims imply, or openly state, that the Holocaust is a hoax arising out of a deliberate Jewish conspiracy to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other peoples. For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Holocaust denial has been illegal in many European countries since shortly after World War II, because it is seen as motivated by an antisemitic or neo-Nazi agenda.
In January 2007, the German government moved to criminalize Holocaust denial and the parading of Nazi symbols across the European Union and the United Nations General Assembly officially "condemns any denial of the Holocaust."

Oprah’s interview with elie. went pretty good he really doesn’t talk much about what happened to Elie in the holocaust or detail to what went on. the interview talks about him having no doubts about some thing like man kind has a purpose and evil could be fought and some other things. Elie was one of many Jews to live past some thing so cruel and vicious time. I think that Elie is a strong person to withstand all the things he had to and still be able to talk about it. Nobody but him and a hand full of other Jews know what happened and how it happened. He was released on April 11 1945. today he wonders who was the last person to leave
I think that denying the fact that the Holocaust occurred makes about as much sense as claiming that the earth is flat. Holocaust denial is a propaganda movement active in the United States, Canada and Western Europe which seeks to deny the reality of the Nazi regime's systematic mass murder of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II. Prejudice against or hatred of Jews, known as anti-Semitism, has plagued the world for more than 2,000 years. The Holocaust, is history's most extreme example of anti-Semitism. Even in the aftermath of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism remains a continuing threat. Today, there are signs of increasing anti-Semitism across Europe and the Islamic world, including hate speech, violence targeting Jews and Jewish institutions, and denial of the Holocaust. Militant Islamic groups with political power use language suggestive of genocide regarding the State of Israel. The president of Iran recently declared the Holocaust a "myth" and called Israel "a disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the map. Many moral failures led to the Holocaust. Holocaust deniers have turned to "scientific" arguments to "prove" that the Nazi regime could not have used gas chambers to carry out an extermination program against Jews and Gypsies. The deniers' basic belief is that the "myth" of the Holocaust is a way for "organized world Jewry" to gain sympathy and financial support for the Zionist cause.
Holocaust denial is usually called Holocaust revisionism by the people that support it. It is believed that the genocide of Jews and other groups during WWI which was during the time of the holocaust it either didn’t occur, or didn’t occur the way that it was described by people. Holocaust denial is considered an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Holocaust denial has been illegal in many countries before WWII, because has been motivated by a anti-Semitic or Neo-Nazi agenda.
The Holocaust Denial, involves an organization of people trying their best to minimize the information of the history against Jews. Many people have crashed forums and blogs or websites containing information about the holocaust. This is very wrong. The Holocaust Denial started after World War II, in European countries. The United Nations General Assembly condemns any denial of the Holocaust. You cannot erase history, and you cannot change everyone's mind. You cannot erase memories. There are pictures proving the suffering that over 6 million Jews suffered. There are survivors telling the same exact stories. Proving that they are not crazy. Any one denying the experience is basically trying to bring back the suffering. Lying and denying something so serious is painful. I think its stupid for people to crash websites and preventing people from expressing how they feel. People have the right to say what they feel, but acting on it and preventing others from saying what they feel is wrong. If you have a problem with what people say or you want to deny things that are being said, you should prove it. Not erase everything and keep others from seeing it. People will obviously find other ways to get their voices heard.
Eliezer is still alive he made it to the united state’s and is a professor. He lived through the holocaust when he was in his younger teen I would say that he was fifteen years old. Imagine that all the pain and suffering that this man went through and now is doing really good. He cherishes every day every hour that passes. He enjoys living a lot of people don’t appreciate being alive like Eliezer. Most people need to go through a really devastating experience to love being every day that goes by. Any ways he is doing really good he loves his job he likes to teach.
The holocaust means the killing of six million European Jews. This was going on during world war two. It was part of a program of extermination. It was planned and executed by the National Socialist regime in Germany. This regime was led by Adolf Hitler. My thoughts about this is it was messed up. The Holocaust was cruel. Adolf Hitler was ruthless and wicked. Yes I agree with the Holocaust. I mean I don’t believe in it, but I do think it happened.
The arguments that were presented in the article on Wikipedia were not enough to convince me to change my stance on the tragedy of the holocaust. Some of the arguments presented were toward diminishing the great scale of people who died and how they died. I believe that they have the right to question the thing that occurred but it a disgrace that they state what they think they know as fact and that they are closed of because of their pre-conceived ideas. I believe that the statements that transpired at that time are pretty accurate and no one should doubt that the incident actually transpired. This tragedy is a dark scar on the world that should not be taken lightly.
Oprah was so sad about him going throw that when he was 15 years old. He's a mad that but nevered hated now one. He had interred the camp and watch babies die and being killed. He severed the death camp. she had read the book seven years ago. He was 72 saying his story. He's happy every second of his life. He won the noble piece price in 1986. there was babies that have not had to be treated like that that’s mess up. His name was Elie Wiesel. He's still alive right now as we speak. That had to be really hard for him to live like that for many years.

Holocaust Denial The attempt to "disprove" that the Holocaust actually happened by means of spurious evidence and historical analysis, often by neo-fascists posing as academics or experts.
I think that it is not fair to try to deny the holocaust because its like trying to deny world war 1 and 2.
I feel that its not a fair to do something like that it just not cool.
I don’t agree with this information and the thought of so one even trying to say that to the jews.
I found out that people who think that the Holocaust didn’t happen think that because they don’t want to be remembered as assassins of many Jews. I researched a little bit and I found out that many people started this discussion in 1991. Many people started to write columns in the newspapers in colleges and in regular newspapers. The Holocaust denial is a propaganda movement active in the United States, Canada and Western Europe which seeks to deny the reality of the Nazi regime's systematic mass murder of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II. Since many people are not familiar with the Holocaust issue they aren't sure what to believe. People are still debating about how it did happen, there are pictures and many other things that prove it did happen. There really isn't nothing to debate about because there is proof it happened. There are people who also do this or manifest this propaganda on the internet. They are trying to convince the world that it didn’t happen, I’m happy and glad people look at them crazy because you cant deny something that happened, especially when you have proof.
The arguments that were presented in the article on Wikipedia were not enough to convince me to change my stance on the tragedy of the holocaust. Some of the arguments presented were toward diminishing the great scale of people who died and how they died. Some strong beliefs that so called “revisionist” have is the actual number they claim that the number 5-6 million death was an exaggeration that that number would equal the whole Jewish people within the Nazi regime. I believe that they have the right to question the thing that occurred but it a disgrace that they state what they think they know as fact and that they are closed off because of their pre-conceived ideas. The story of Elie is an example of how unwilling they are to believe that such evil could happen until it happen to a person directly. I think that it is the same question of humanity that is more or less being asked by the Holocaust Deniers. Could Humanity commit such atrocities? Is, yes, the answer that that we really want? The Holocaust Denial I think is part of the fear of the possibilities of the evil that transpired. I believe that the statements of what transpired at that time are pretty accurate and no one should doubt that the incident actually transpired. This tragedy is a dark scar on the world that should not be taken lightly.
In the research that I did I found lot’s of information some of the information that I got shows how in between 1933 was when the Nazi party rised to power. The page that I read shows how in 1939 more than 300,000 Jews migrated from Germany and Austria. The Germans didn’t only hate the Jews they also hated other groups of people if the where mentally retarded and homosexuals would also get punished. In 1933 the Nazis established the first concentration camp. They didn’t only punished regular people they punished everyone they didn’t like. The Nazi’s punished political people, famous people even people that were admired by many people they all got arrested, economic restrictions, and other forms of discriminations. The Nazi's also incarcerated leader’s of the Christian Church that opposed to Nazism. In may 1939 the Nazi's also opened a camp that was made specially for women. All women especially those with small children were often the first to be sent for gassing at extermination camps. As you can see Nazi’s didn’t care about nothing but making the world their way. In their eyes even if you had money as long as you were Jewish you were a death. This is all the information I got from the internet.
The attempt to disprove that the Holocaust actually happened by means of spurious evidence and historical analysis often by neo-fascists posing as academics or experts. My thoughts on this are that whether or not they deny it, it did happen. I think that nobody really knows. The only way we would or could know is if we went back in time. Or if we had some old school death camp people with us here today. Although I do believe it happened the murder of 6 million Jews. They were so innocent they died because of race or religion. I feel sad because they burned babies, poor innocent babies that were barely brought into this world. I kind of do agree on what I found out. Well not about the Holocaust, like I don’t believe in that stuff, but I do believe it happened. It’s a sad sick and scary thought.
In this article I found out that there was a lot of evidence that the holocaust really happened. Even though there was a lot of evidence there were Nazis that still lied and denied that anything happened. Supposedly this one guy named David Irving said that the Holocaust did occur but behind the German leaders back. I think that it is ridiculous that they are trying to hide something so obvious. How can the German leader not know about it if there were so many people killed. And if in fact he didn’t know what kind of leader is he that he isn't aware of the things that his people are doing. In this article it is said that Nazis made journals “confessing” that the Holocaust never happened and the purpose of this was that endorse anti-Semitism. In the book it is said that although they were found guilty people still deny that the Holocaust didn’t exist. The Germans also say that all those deaths were caused by disease and starvation and they shouldn’t be blamed for it. I think that if were able to kill all those people without any remorse why cant they fess up and tell the truth. How can they live with themselves knowing how much they hurt other people. How they tortured them. I think that it is horrible what happened and that they should have respect for the people that died in the Holocaust. I think that people who don’t believe that the holocaust happened are ignorant because there is evidence. Maybe they were raced that way and maybe they might also be anti-Semitic. They might not believe that someone could do something so terrible but how can we not believe that if to this day we are in a world where there is a lot of violence.
The attempt to "disprove" that the Holocaust actually happened by means of spurious evidence and historical analysis, often by neo-fascists posing as academics or experts. A notable group is The Institute for Historical Review and notable figures include Arthur Butz, Ernst Zundel and Fred Leuchter.
My thoughts on this particular subject is that they make very good points but the evidence against them is even grater than there “theory's” they, the Germans {Dutch} are just denying what happened to make themselves seem less inhuman than they actually were during this period in time. I really don’t agree about this and it angers me. what they did was wrong. Nothing will ever change that. So denying it is offensive to many including survivors.
Holocaust denial is usually called Holocaust revisionism by the people that support it. It is believed that the genocide of Jews and other groups during WWI which was during the time of the holocaust it either didn’t occur, or didn’t occur the way that it was described by people. Holocaust denial is considered an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Holocaust denial has been illegal in many countries before WWII, because has been motivated by a anti-Semitic or Neo-Nazi agenda. To a lot of people both Jews and non-Jews that were involved in the Holocaust shows the horror of genocide against the Jews. Some anti-Semites had found that attacking the Holocaust causes as much suffering to some Jews as also attacking Jews. “Holocaust denial” refers to attacking the amount of information of the history of the Holocaust.
By what I found on the internet I found out that that people were trying to not let the people that survived say what happen in that time. Every time a survivor was trying to put what he past through in those camps they will be people going to does pages and deleting the page so people wont get information about it. There were trying to not know information about what happen on the holocaust. After a lot of time they already know what happen because the survivor talk about it all the experience they been trough. The people that did all this damage try to erases peoples minds about what happen. After a long time people know now's a lot of what happen in this time of the holocaust how the SS took the Jews to the camp and killed people. they make them past hunger and be sacred of what the SS will do to them.
What I think about what I had just read is that it amazed me how millions of people were killed by the Nazis. Is something that is really horrible to me they had been living the life of hell. In this part of the short story they aren't escaping like the slaves back in history they had always find the chance to escape and sometimes they didn’t but like this people that its already twice that they had the chance is something that they rather not do and plus in prison at least they are going to get feed and if they were to be on there own they wouldn’t make it they probably died of hunger. so what they rather do is just stayed were they act and just wait until is there turn to died. what I had also found out about the Jews was that they would used bombs and other things to make their attacks.
