Holocaust
The Holocaust was the genocide of the Jews and others during World War II by the Nazi government of Germany, which played on widely held anti-Semitic sentiments. In addition to the genocide of six million Jews, many millions of Christians, Gypsies, disabled persons, Gays and Lesbians, Communists and other political opponents were also exterminated.
Criticism
Many notable historians deny that the Holocaust took place, including Richard Harwood, Bradley Smith and David Irving. These historians have been persecuted for simply stating their beliefs by the backers of Israel.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims that is a "myth" designed to protect Israel.[1]
Even if it did happen, the number of Jews exterminated was far fewer than the six million estimate.[2]
