You are really an idiot aren't you. The holocaust never happened, it happened only to the jews.There is a simple reason for the criminalization of Holocaust Denial in Europe... the actual danger of Nazi resurgence.
When the Nazis were destroyed by the Allies in 1945, millions of loyal Nazis survived and many of those would have loved to have seen Nazism reborn in a kinder, gentler, less murdery way. Nazism was popular with Germans before the end of World War 2 and even had many fans in Europe, Britain, and America.
The Nazis are irrevocably linked in History to the slaughter of millions of Jewish civilians. For this alone, it has poisoned the ideology to the point it can never be revived.
But, many believe, if they can erase the connection between Nazi ideology and The Holocaust, it will pave the way for Nazism to return as a political system.
Fearing a real threat from former Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, most of Europe criminalized the denial or trivialization of The Holocaust to prevent just such a resurgence.
How many are there? I've never met one though I have met a few anti-Israel mob who are Holocaust Deniers. (They conflate Holocaust Denial and anti-Israeli sentiments). Their root is not Nazism but anti-American Socialism/Communism. One look at that idiot Corbyn and you see this in action.
On Wednesday, the Politics Home website reported that the U.K. Labour Party leader (at the time a backbencher) signed a parliamentary motion in 2011 calling for Holocaust Memorial Day to be renamed.
Corbyn backed a proposal by John McDonnell that Britain should rename the event Genocide Memorial Day – Never Again for Anyone. (McDonnell is now Corbyn's shadow chancellor in the opposition.) Further, the debate was slated to take place on Holocaust Memorial Day.
Reducing the importance of the Holocaust is merely a step towards condemning Israel and the US.

First, you say that the Holocaust "never happened." Next you say that it "happened only to the jews." It either did happen or it didn't.
We have seen the pictures of naked women lined up for the gas chambers, trying to cover their genitals with their hands. Bones piled high. Boxes of wedding rings stripped off of them. Pictures of little kids in the Warsaw ghetto with their hands up. Pictures of skeletal survivors, many of them worked as slaves. Pictures of ovens and gas chambers.
When, if ever, do we evolve a sense of deep shame? Take a look at what happened to these poor people. How could anyone do this?
I am a metro ride away from the Holocaust Museum, but I have never visited because I can't. There is no way for anyone to atone for this.
Don't deflect on the basis that other bad things happened to other people. I can't atone for what happened at Wounded Knee, to the slaves on American plantations, to the Armenians.
The point here is to remember that these things happened, and resolve that they never, ever happen again.
What happened, WWII, yes we should never repeat it.
There is not a single belief I hold that I would not be upfront here and honest about Penny, not one.
But you can't come out and state yours, not even when I opened up a whole thread on it. Whassamatter? Why are you ashamed to say you don't believe the gas chambers existed and you think the entire thing is a hoax?
