Descrizione
Holocaust denial is defined by the claim that the Jews invented the story of the Holocaust to win sympathy from the world, money from Germany and land in the Middle East. Deniers contend that the Nazis sought to uproot the Jews not kill them, that the gas chamber did not exist, and that the no. killed was substantially less than 6million. In a celebrated case involving Lipstadt and David Irving, the British judge ruled that denial is based on a 'distortion and manipulation of historical facts'
