Why would anyone ever deny the Holocaust ever happened?
-
Don't they have enough evidence, survivor stories, photographs, videos... or even the camps themselves? What in the world would possess someone enough to believe that it never happened? It makes me sick to think that people deny it and blame it all on the Jews. Absolutely disgusting.

Answer:
I agree that it's absolutely disgusting. I mean, seriously, they're denying the deaths and the suffering of millions of people. They don't even have any real evidence to back up their claims. Instead, they manipulate evidence of the Holocaust in order to suit their own disgusting, hateful, hurtful, insensitive agendas. I try to combat Holocaust denial on this site, but the Holocaust deniers don't listen. They've made up their minds and are only trying to convince other people they're right. Their only reason is irrational hate. They are so blinded by their hatred of the minority groups affected by the Holocaust that they don't want to see the truth. I once naively hoped that they were afraid, that the immense suffering of Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, Soviet Prisoners of War, etc. terrified them. I thought that they were so horrified by the truth that they couldn't believe it. I was wrong. These Holocaust deniers are pathetic excuses for human beings. @Where Wonder Leads, You have a point, but there are certainly some people who flat out deny it. Still, it's true that Holocaust deniers mostly claim that the death toll is just a series of hyperbolic figures. Often, their personal interpretations of the figures change. Even David Irving has changed the death toll in interviews, in his books, etc.

1. They hate Jews. 2. They can not conceive of Jews being actual victims, because they imagine Jews are all powerful.

There's 50 million pages of evidence in Germany itself from the Nazi's who recorded what they did holocaust deniers are just regurgitating the same tired old arguments. Edit: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/19/world/europe/19nazi.html The evidence is in the archives in Bad Arolsens 15 miles long isn't a few pages thumb downer!

Usually these people I'm assuming you're speaking of aren't denying that the holocaust ever happened, but instead questioning the severity of it. Some people believe that the Jews exaggerated the severity of it to gain sympathy. They don't deny they were put in camps but the details of the camps and the horrors of them are what they often dispute. It's a crazy concept I know, but they believe these things for the same reason people have all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories. Although, however outlandish these concepts may sound people have some up with some valid reasoning behind their beliefs. It isn't like some guy just sat around one night and said "Hey, you know what? I don't think that holocaust thingy ever happened." no. They do have some good evidence. Frankly, not nearly enough to convince me of anything, but as long as they are not promoting any hate in their ideas and merely suggesting their concepts instead of writing false news they do have the right to publish and publicize their beliefs. Hope that answers your question a bit. -Maddy
