'''Holocaust denial''' is a belief that the Nazi [[Holocaust]] did not occur, or occurred to a lesser extent than believed by the preponderance of scholars. 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 their policies, mentally retarded individuals, homosexuals, etc.) during [[World War II]].

The Holocaust denial viewpoint has no support amongst any significant number of 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 liberal history revisionists (see [[Liberalism and genocide denial]]) and [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semites]].
