Except that the Holocaust is probably the best documented genocide in history, mostly thanks to the meticulous way the Germans documented it.
And when was Holocaust-denial criminalized, exactly? Sadly, deniers are allowed to spew their nonsense for years. The only difference now is that the Internet can amplify any kind of crazy to respectability.
No, the Holocaust is the most heavily hyped and crassly exploited tragedy due to Hollywood's participation in Holocaust propaganda and the political influence around the world of the international, multi billion dollar Holocaust Industry.
How can the Holocaust qualify as a true genocide when Jews were among the Nazi Party leadership and 150,000 Jews served in Germany's WW 2 military?
There is absolutely no evidence that there was ever a genocidal German Agenda to kill all of Europe's Jews.

Finally, there are written orders from Stalin for mass murder and their are written orders from Eisenhower for the mass murder of nearly one million German POWs and civilians but no written order from Hitler for the killing of Germany's Jews:
“To the present day a written order by Hitler regarding the destruction of the European Jewish community has not been found, and, in all probability, this order was never given.”
