In War the first casualty is- Truth! both sides of any major conflict aim for morale reasons, to show the enemy in the worst possible light. There are many unanswered questions about the Holocaust. even the promoters tend to avoid anything resembling a Veterans memorial tablet- albeit this is different than normal war death rolls. It seems very hard to swallow that about 6.7 Million Jews alone were killed by the Holocaust- there is very rarely any attempt to break this down statistically among the various prison camps. One might hasten to add there are too many survivors- and their stories conflict- Both sides have their stories- Certainly it happened- and on a Gross Scale- But- we cannot ignore factual distortions.
No, it really happened.
Anyone who thinks that the Holocaust is some hoax is a truly uneducated, ignorant person also known as a "Holocaust denier".
In response to the above:
Just as agnostics, on average, know more about a given religion than self-proclaimed adherents, holocaust agnostics are generally more knowledgeable about the sanctioned holocaust narrative than self-proclaimed holocaust believers. Please note: claims made by people with superior intelligence and/or expert knowledge in a subject are not automatically true; they are, however, worth examining, regardless of how heretical such claims may be in a given place and time.
For a relevant (and uniquely eloquent) talk on this subject, it may be enlightening to see the recording of a lecture given by the late Christopher Hitchens at Hart House, University of Toronto, on November 15, 2006, titled "Defending Free Speech." The full speech (about 20 minutes long) can be found on YouTube.
In seeking the truth, worry not what others think. Truth is not a matter of popular opinion.
"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus"
-Christopher Hitchens
No, that's definitely not true.
No.
Many, many people infact did for a long time. Countries themselves infact denied it and wrote it off as a Hoax. Now a days, there are 'Holocaust-Denial' Laws, which basiclly means you can't run around most European countries with Nazi things like Swastikas, SS bolts, etc. Though in America, they are protected by the First Amendment, allowing them Free Speech.

Arthur Butz wrote a book titled "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century," in which he denies the occurrence of the Holocaust. This book has been widely discredited by historians as promoting Holocaust denial, a form of antisemitism.

Yes, the word hoax is an abstract noun; a word for a deception. A hoax is an abstract concept.

It was not a hoax, it was real.
Bigfoot is hoax.
It isn't, particularly. It's a search engine. If fifty million people create web sites saying "the Holocaust was a hoax" and link to each other, if you search Google for "holocaust" guess what's going to come up? It's only credible to the extent that "the majority is always sane."
There was no moon hoax. The moon landings were real.
