Holocaust deniers assert that the Nazis did not attempt to exterminate the [[Jews]] (as well as political opponents, Gypsies, Catholics and other Christian church members opposed to his policies, mentally retarded, etc.) during [[World War II]].

A variation of holocaust denial admits that the Nazis did these [[crimes against humanity]] but denies that Hitler gave the order to do so, such as the theories propounded by David Irving and given scholastic credence by [[Wikipedia]]. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Wannsee Conference," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wannsee_Conference#_note-8 (accessed April 19, 2007). </ref>
