Holocaust denial: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

Scholars use the term denial to describe the views and methodology of Holocaust deniers in order to distinguish them from legitimate historical revisionists, who challenge orthodox interpretations of history using established historical methodologies. Holocaust deniers generally do not accept denial as an appropriate description of their activities and use the euphemism revisionism instead. The methodologies of Holocaust deniers are often based on a predetermined conclusion that ignores overwhelming historical evidence to the contrary. In some post-Soviet states, Holocaust deniers do not deny the very fact of mass murder of Jews, but they deny the participation of their own nationals in the Holocaust.

Most Holocaust deniers claim, either explicitly or implicitly, that the Holocaust is a ~~hoax—or~~ an ~~exaggeration—arising~~ from a deliberate Jewish conspiracy designed to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other people. For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered to be an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitic]] conspiracy theory commonly pushed by individuals on the far-right or the [[Alt-Right]].
