'''Holocaust denial''' is the false assertion that the Nazis did not attempt to exterminate the [[Jews]] during [[World War II]]. One of its main purposes is to discredit the existence of the nation of [[Israel]. Questioning the historicity of the Holocaust is gravely offensive to Jews <ref>http://skepdic.com/holocaustdenial.html</ref>, and is patently anti-Semitic in nature.
Recently, Iranian president [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]], who has made many public statements condemning Israel and Jews in general, has questioned the existence of the Holocaust and hosted a conference designed to cast doubt on the idea of its historicity. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236014,00.html</ref>
