Holocaust denial is changing – the fight against it must change too

The internet has brought a generational shift in antisemitism – the Holocaust deniers are getting younger

Since Germany’s military defeat in 1945, Holocaust denial has been an attempt by surviving unreconstructed Nazis and their postwar acolytes to whitewash the monstrous crimes of the Third Reich in the hope of rehabilitating the Nazi regime.

However, denial of the Holocaust has never been a monopoly of the far right. History has taught us that antisemitism arises in many forms, and this is no less true for Holocaust denial. That’s why Hope Not Hate’s new book also explores denial to be found in leftwing circles, in eastern Europe and from Muslims both in Muslim-majority countries and in the west as well...

What might help is a forensic investigation corroborating the events purported to have happened. Instead of the current dogmatic approach to the holocaust that is currently going on now. Threatening to incarcerate people for questioning a historical event makes you more of a fascist than anyone else.

I don't like the term "holocaust denier". The same way I don't like the term "anti-semite". Neither are historically or ethnically accurate. They're exaggerated concepts meant to disparage anyone who doesn't fall in line with the jew world order. They're a logical fallacy usually against a solid argument. "Holocaust-Skeptic" is more accurate and more respectful.

Just like jews are "skeptics" to all the other genocides throughout history they are unwilling to acknowledge.
