How can some people defend Hitler and deny the Holocaust happened?

because they're idiots, thats why. no matter what you show them, no matter what you will tell them, they will believe what they want to, if for nothing else but to piss you off.

I completely agree with you. What idiots can deny that millions of people died under the responsobility of Hitler. I say you shoot them and then tell the cops it never happened.

It's interesting, nu? People deny the Moon landings took place too, in fact one will find deniers about all sorts of facts. Scientists are starting to look into the psychology of this, but basically some people choose what facts to believe: http://www.miller-mccune.com/article/320 There's no point for the most part even debating with people like this, because all you are doing is legitimizing their absurd beliefs, and they aren't going to be swayed by either fact or logic.

i read one like that too in a book there are these two non-jews who opposes german army in somewhere in belorussia or whatever, then the german army hanged them there for the people to see so that they'll not gonna oopose them. When the war was over, the people there claimed that there is no such thing as holocaust and they even praise hitler even though the world had clearly knew what had happened.. i don't know if you ask what the reason behind those claims but one thing is sure, they grew up like that and the fathers of there father thought them the same thing over and over again
