Negarea Holocaustului

Negarea Holocaustului este actul de a nega genocidul evreilor în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial, genocid denumit de obicei Holocaust.^[1] Cei care neagă holocaustul general susțin că : Guvernul german nazist nu a avut nicio politica oficială sau intenție de exterminare a evreilor, autoritățile naziste nu foloseau lagăre de exterminare și gazare în masă pentru a omorî evrei și că numărul real al evreilor uciși a fost semnificativ (de obicei cu un ordin de mărime) mai mic decât valoarea istorică larg-acceptată de 5 sau 6 milioane.^[2]^[3]^[4]

În 2014, conform unui studiu al companiei First International Resources, două treimi din populația lumii fie nu a auzit de Holocaust, fie îl neagă.^[5]

Key elements of Holocaust denial:
- "Before discussing how Holocaust denial constitutes a conspiracy theory, and how the theory is distinctly American, it is important to understand what is meant by the term "Holocaust denial." Holocaust deniers, or "revisionists," as they call themselves, question all three major points of definition of the Nazi Holocaust. First, they contend that, while mass murders of Jews did occur (although they dispute both the intentionality of such murders as well as the supposed deservedness of these killings), there was no official Nazi policy to murder Jews. Second, and perhaps most prominently, they contend that there were no homicidal gas chambers, particularly at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where mainstream historians believe over 1 million Jews were murdered, primarily in gas chambers. And third, Holocaust deniers contend that the death toll of European Jews during World War II was well below 6 million. Deniers float numbers anywhere between 300,000 and 1.5 million, as a general rule." Mathis, Andrew E.

- "In part III we directly address the three major foundations upon which Holocaust denial rests, including... the claim that gas chambers and crematoria were used not for mass extermination but rather for delousing clothing and disposing of people who died of disease and overwork; ... the claim that the six million figure is an exaggeration by an order of magnitude—that about six hundred thousand, not six million, died at the hands of the Nazis; ... the claim that there was no intention on the part of the Nazis to exterminate European Jewry and that the Holocaust was nothing more than the unfortunate by-product of the vicissitudes of war."
