Holocaust Denial (in general)

Denial of the Holocaust and all that is related to it is nothing more than people using their right to question historical facts and lessons. Despite substantial evidence supporting the Holocaust's existence, however, people still deny that something even remotely similar occurred around that time period, claim the documents are forgeries, and claim that the survivors are nothing more than posers; this is a prime example of willing ignorance in the face of cold, hard truths. It is alright for people to question the authenticity of certain historical events, but when provided with evidence supporting the historical era, only nonsensical excuses and overused, misunderstood arguments are able to even remotely combat such truth. People choose to deny things simply because they don't wish to believe something like that occurred or because they simply do not like the involved parties.
