The only reason to deny the Holocaust is to inculcate and foster antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Holocaust has the dubious distinction of being the best-documented genocide in the world. So for anybody to disbelieve, they&#8217;ve got to come to it with some sort of preconceived notion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Holocaust denial takes different forms, and I divide it into hardcore Holocaust denial and softcore Holocaust denial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Hardcore Holocaust denial is the argument made by deniers that there was no planned, centralized program of annihilation of the Jews by the Nazis. That this whole idea of eliminating the Jews from the European continent and beyond never happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">If you would ask them, \u201cWhy would the Jews make up this myth?\u201d it\u2019s that they did it for financial gain and to get the sympathy of the world in order to get a state. That in and of itself makes Holocaust denial a form of antisemitism, because the rationale they give, to get money and to get a state, are of course at the center of the stereotypes associated with antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">But softcore denial does not deny the Holocaust. There were people who would say, \u201cWell, of course the Holocaust happened, but was it really six million? Of course the Holocaust happened, but were there really gas chambers?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I think any thoughtful person today knows that that\u2019s a ridiculous kind of thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">First of all, for deniers to be right, who has to be wrong? Well, certainly all the survivors. You have the bystanders, but most of all you have the perpetrators. What they said was, \u201cI didn\u2019t do it. I was only following orders.\u201d So they had these different excuses, but they never said it didn\u2019t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The audience often are antisemites who are looking to have their feelings confirmed. Or people who might not be overt antisemites but somehow are discomforted with the idea of Jew-as-victim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">This is an attack on society at large. In almost every society, where they\u2019ve gone after Jews first, they\u2019ve gone after other people after that. Prejudice has to be fought, and amongst those prejudices, antisemitism has to be fought.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holocaust Denial, Explained United States Holocaust Memorial Museum This 3-minute video explains the concept of Holocaust denial, its evolution and enduring relevance.
