In today's era of deep fakes, cgi, ai art, edited video, photorealistic paintings, misinformation, etc, it is impossible for individuals to determine what is or isn't true without seeing the evidence in person. Some will deny it happened, others will say it did, and not much can be done to verify either claim to most people, especially regarding any details.

I honestly think its a waste of time to even contemplate it. History is written by the victors, wars are won on propaganda, and every ounce of truth in news or history books about anything, is usually laced with lies.

The only sane answer for most people is "possibly". Better to focus on now and the future, than to debate about the details of the past (at least regarding specific events or situations anyway).

There is nothing wrong with questioning history or anything else for that matter. Do the research and find the evidence if you don't like the general consensuses. Having your own ideas and following them to answers is a good thing. It only becomes a bad thing, when you find the evidence and deny it in favor of a narrative you want to believe in.

[MCheetah]

No, it is not. It is incorrect and un-factual, but I can't claim that it's "evil." Most of history is written by the winners, and only the winners determine what is "good and evil," regardless of personal morality.

I don't believe in good and evil anyway. "Good" is just altruism, charity, law & order, and selflessness, and "evil" is just theft, chaos, destruction, and selfishness. The universe is full of both orbiting celestial bodies and spiraling galaxies, and exploding stars, black holes, and flying space rocks.

What is evil, other than selfish destruction? What is good, other than helping others? The Holocaust hurt a lot of people, so by those metrics, it'd be seen as evil. But so would all wars ever fought throughout history.

Holocaust Denial has started by Nazis themselves, so it evil if you consider Nazis evil.

There are some idiots out there who are just ignorant. But for some, they're actively pushing a cover up because they don't want people to know all of the terrible things that happened to the Jewish people. Because the truth interferes with their Jew-hating agenda.

[purplepoppy]

It's factually incorrect. The evil isn't the denying it's the reason behind why someone would go to the effort to deny it

[misogynistic_pig]

Holocaust revisionism is a historical current that has the purpose of reinterpreting, in the light of new evidence, the events that occurred in Europe between 1941 and 1946 and that were later distorted by the political interests that promoted the creation of the State of Israel. in the Palestine region in 1948.

[NamerOfStars]

Of course not- it's morally no different from denying, say, the defenestration of Prague. It usually accompanies horribly bigoted beliefs, but there's no moral value to it in and of itself.

[andreasderjuengere]

Freedom of speech ends when it's touching speech about Jews :D

But there are facts that prove what happened.

To deny it is the same nonsense as croaking about a flat earth.

[genericname85]

I think it's just deluded. I'm assuming these who deny it don't necessarily have bad intentions. They just don't believe it happened. So I'm not sure if that can be framed as morally incorrect. Just factually incorrect.

[Shamalien]

As a jew I say let people believe or express what they want. This whole adl shit is just to make jews look guilty and continue functioning as the scapegoats for our dark shepherds, which, ironically, is the same exact fucking strategy these occultists used during ww2

[Jccowen77]

Both. It all comes from the same brew of horseshit that claims the earth is flat and that reptilian shape shifters are taking over the world.

[NewtoTheSouth]

It's just an incorrect belief. I don't think any beliefs in and of themselves are evil, although they may lead to evil acts (or that may not). Only actions are evil. Denying the holocaust doesn't become evil until innocent people like Jews start getting killed.

[WilliamPamer446]

holocaust reviosinism isn't either. denial could be ignorant or mean or evil or rude but if you think it was something else like annihilation or think the non jews who died go underreported and the jew number is exaggerated then its not evil

[Cubus]

Anyone who thinks otherwise does not present any value with himself/herself.

Sadly Germans try to deny it and accuse my country for this.

[KostasKouvalis]

It's both, just like Armenian genocide denial

[kespethdude]

Both evil AND morally incorrect, and 26% of the people in the poll are NAZIs...

[kespethdude]

33% now, that's a concern...

[Damian69]

How can someone be so stupid? They got the camps and plenty of autobiographies that reaffirm that it happened. Denying that ever happened is wrong and stupid

[ManHater]

everyone has an oppinion and what are we to do with those who deny killing of jews? Throw those who do not share our opinions into the fire as well?

[Anonymous]

Any denial of the holocaust should be treated as a criminal offense. These people should be sent away for re-education working manual labour in government-run facilities.

[Avicenna]

As repugnant as Holocaust denial is, Holocaust denial should not be criminalized and the deniers should not be maltreated as you suggest.

[Opinion Owner]

@Avicenna They just need to be sent to camps until society realizes not to question the government

[Opinion Owner]

@Avicenna I’m just messing with you before someone starts thinking I’m advocating for the final solution to the final solution.

[EmbraceThePain]

It can be both, but depends on the person.

[jimmy2]

We ought to get together send 100 over there let them experience the evilness

[Guy13]

C. Both A and B...

[Midgetmcwidget]

Whoopi Goldberg (fake surname that's Jewish)

[msc545]

It is fact quite evil.

[joeldalton]

Neither.
