Why are there Holocaust deniers?

silly.salmon

The Muslims and anti-Semites have made an industry out of denying ANYTHING that contradicts their world view.

The hard-line anti-Semites that come here to bash Jews and Israel never ( repeat . . . NEVER ) give credible sources for their positions while those resisting Islamo-fascism can and do give references like those below that use ISLAMIC and ARAB media and Koranic sources to prove their points.

Theres tons of evidence out there that show the Holocaust did happen.

You name it family stories, witnesses and ofcourse the nazi records.

The nazis kept really precise records of the Holocaust, who was there, there names and when they where murdered etc.

for the people who say its a "jewish" conspiracy remind them that half t he people who died in the holocaust where non jews.

Are the non jewish survivors in on it to or something LOL?

Holocaust denail is bullshit and is nothing more then anti semitism.

Because of ignorance or hatred. There is plenty of historical evidence that it did happen.

Amanda Overmeyer-Janis of today!

It is disguisting. There are videos and books. There is proof. I guess those bastards are just ignorant. They're heartless man. I guess people burned and starved themselves just for the heck of it huh? Damn, I hate ignorant people!

I wish I could answer that question but there are no words for such ignorance, let it go don't let that bother you, that will be a time when people will finally realize what happened and how sad it is.

Good question. I'd like to applaud KISMET for her excellent answer and also just to add if I may:

It's absurd when people claim that we 'only got' Israel because of the Holocaust. They cannot know that because, sadly, we cannot rewind the tape and see what would have happened had the Holocaust not have happened.

When people insist on linking the Holocaust and Israel they are ignoring a crucial point: the zionist movement pre-dates the Holocaust. There were many Jews living in Palestine BEFORE the Holocaust. Jews dreamed of returning to their homeland way BEFORE the Holocaust.

EDIT PERSIAN MAGUS

Most people probably know by now that the two sources you mention have been utterly discredited. And you have not addressed any of the points made. Denying the Holocaust is about as logical as stating that the moon is made of cream cheese.

This is why:
A famed Hlocaust denier; Ahmadinejad is setting the cognitive conditions for the annihilation of Israel for the international Left by presenting Israel's existence as a direct result of the Holocaust. As Iran's Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki said, "If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt."
Iran views Holocaust denial as a strategic propaganda tool. By downgrading the Holocaust, Iran mobilizes supporters and paralyzes potential opponents. Its coupling of the last Holocaust with the one it signals daily it intends to carry out wins it support among the Nazis and the Sunnis alike. Its presentation of the Holocaust as a myth used to exploit Muslims wins its support in the international Left which increasingly views Israel as an illegitimate state. So by denying the Holocaust Iran raises its leadership profile both regionally and globally.
Indeed, even if the Left doesn't buy into Holocaust denial, it can still agree with Iran's conclusion that Israel has no right to exist. As Mottaki explained, "If during this [Holocaust denial conference] it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Muslim people of the region and the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis' crimes?"
So from Mottaki's perspective, Israel is illegitimate whether the Holocaust happened or not. In making this point, Mottaki closed the gap between Iran and a loud chorus of voices in both Europe and the US who claim that Israel was established only because of European guilt over the Holocaust and consequently the Jewish state has no inherent legitimacy. This is a view that even Jewish leftists like Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen and New York University Professor Tony Judt have expressed.

It isn't that we don't believe the holocaust happened, we just feel really hurt how someone could use a very sad tragedy of their people (the holocaust), then use it to blackmail the rest of the world to be guilty enough to steal our home lands and give it to them, as if they just fabricated it to get their way. The Israeli Apartheid has revealed most Zionist can be even more racist, almost more so then Hitler and his Third Reich, we see it as if these people truly went through this much chaos and trauma, How can they still do it on to others? It is only common because Arabs don't want to blame the whole world (mainly USA, England, And France) for what they allowed happened and for what happens to us now.

Its not denial but disagreement of how they stretch it out to be more than what it was, especially when they use it to cover up others tragedies.

I've had Israelis before tell me showing them pictures of the refugees centers are old news, how hypocritical when our tragedy is still going on as well as after the holocaust, yet they still show pics of the holocaust for sympathy.

Just ignore them-and be happy for them that they did not have it happen to them.

I agree, it makes me sick too!! but you need to understand that there are too many people who hate us and will say anything to hurt us. I'm sure that half of them know that Holocaust was real but say it wasn't because they know it's our weak spot, and the others who really believe it didn't occur are ignorant .
my advice to you, ignore!

I can't speak for other people , only for myself, I do not deny any bad thing that happens in this world. I do not deny the Holocaust, I do not deny Tiananmen Square in 1989, South Africa the mass killings in the Sudan, 911 in the United States, Massacres in Palestine, (Jenin) many others, Vietnam, Lebanon war last year, Cambodia , Burma, Sorry B I'm tired today, also Iraq , Uganda, the list goes on and on.....every day things are happening in the world , people grieving, Plz forgive my opinion, I myself have the attitude that people have to move on. How can we focus on all the bad things that happen day after day. We need to think about how to make changes so these things stop happening and the world can learn to get along. Hope you understand my opinion, Peace!

The reason such people exist is to remind the rest of us that there are some really stupid people in the world and we always need to be vigilant that such people never get any real power over the lives of others.

Good Luck!!!

I guess they think better of their selves and humans..they don't want accept the fact they we basically tortured them and murdered most of them ..:(

"We need not waste time or effort answering the deniers' contentions. It would be never-ending to respond to arguments posed by those who freely falsify findings, quote out of context and simply dismiss reams of testimony. Unlike true scholars, they have little, if any, respect for data or evidence. Their commitment is to an ideology and their 'findings' are shaped to support it."[Deborah Lipstadt]

My grandmother went through the holocaust and for one to deny such heinous crimes committed against the Jews is barbaric. She went through horrors one can't even imagine.

mark

Just like there are Palestinian Human right deniers.

riviva

They are anti-Semites who exploit this tragedy for their own ends, either by denying it or calling Israelis Nazis-- sometimes both.

It's sickening.

There will always be people who will attempt to revise history and denial of the Holocaust is yet another way to do this.
As the generations who lived thorugh it pass on it becomes easier for those in denial to spread their poison inspite of documentation to the contrary.

Ther reasons behind this denial vary from politics, hatred of the Jews and in some cases guilt.
But in the case of the Holocaust --those that deny it have the agenda to destroy Israel. This is just one more way to do so.

The return of Jews to Israel became more immediate during and after WW2 because of the Holocaust. If those that deny it happened can gain a foot hold with their propganda on a rather lazy society (lazy in regards to history) they then think they can challenge Israel's existence.

Why even care? Let them deny all they want! They might as well deny the fact that the Earth spins around the Sun. Who cares? We are only weaker by showing THEM that it hurts us!

I say %@$#k them! Who gives a crap!? This isn't the only obvious thing they are denying, there are many more.

Calling Gaza and West bank "illegal occupation" is a fabricated lie in itself.

How can you call it illegal occupation when you attacked Israel and its citizens, and then lost the war to them!??
Those are annexed territories, liberated, if you will, but certainly not "illegally occupied"

There wasn't a nation of "palesinians" until 1967, when it was so conveniently manufactured...
But today, the entire world calls them that! What a great PR! It won't last forever though.

So, screw Ahmadinejad! Let him think, and say what he wants and when he wants it.

Freedom F

I don't know why they would say that. There is another group though that says that the number of 6 million is over inflated and I believe that some governments agree that this is the case.

What I don't get, is that after going through something as horrendous as the Holocaust, these same people days later start a Holocaust against the Palestinian people.

The zionists are now the guards at the prison gate. I just can't for the life of me understand why they are so happy to inflict war crimes against the Palestinian people. For heavens sake, these people didn't even do anything to them.

You're right, it's just as bad as saying that Bush is not a war criminal.

edit: why the thumbs down, i hope no one here thinks that the murder of 2 MILLION IRAQIS, and God-knows-how-many people in Afghanistan, is any less a tragedy than the holocaust... Remember, just because they looked like ants (to the aaf) when they were shot, doesn't make it any less cowardly !
