'''Holocaust denial''' is the assertion that the Nazis either did not attempt to exterminate the [[Jews]] (as well as political opponents, Gypsies, Catholics and other Christian church members opposed to his policies, homosexuals, mentally retarded) during [[World War II]], or deny that Hitler gave the order to do so. The view point has no support amongst any significant scholars. This denial is partly a result of a growing number of [[Existentialism|existentialist]] thinkers who refer to history as simply a myth as well as the result of the efforts of history revisionists and anti-Zionists <ref>http://www.revisionists.com/</ref>.

As denial of the holocaust is nonfactual, another common strategy of history revisionism is to relativate the holocaust by comparing it to other genocides, the death toll of Germans in WWII or the number of abortions.
