Why do some people deny the Holocaust happened?

interesting question socci....i think it is to try and lend credence to the conspiracy theory that zionists & Jews are running the world.......that Jewish people lied about it to get worldwide sypathy to allow Jews to become omnipotent....conveniently forgetting that it wasn't just Jews who perished,,,,but homosexuals, the disabled, gypsies, anyone who wasn't in keeping with the desire for an Ayran master race......

the kinder thing to say is that it is too terrible a thing to actually contempalte happening...so it is easier to say it never happened or it is exaggerated...
IMO

it is still in living memory for a very few.....including a friend of my grandmothers........

do they? i havent met anyone who denies it happened. i know romanys perished as well

have you been on stormfront's website. that explains a lot. not for the faint hearted. all very nazi, kkk, NF etc. awful horrific and terrifying.

there was a man a few years ago...who wrote books about it and then was banned from coming into britain as it was deemed inciting racial hatred.....beleive he was called David Irving....

There was a teenager on Oprah or similar once, his parents didn't know what to do with him. He was clearly brainwashed by someone sinister but they didn't seem to know / want to know who. Very scary, there are a lot of vulnerable people out there ready to absorb an ethos like that because it distracts them from their own issues.
