The Holocaust was a period that spanned 1933 to 1945 where about 6 million jews died because of Nazi Germany and their policies. The leader of the Nazis, Adolf Hitler, hated Jews because he blamed them for Germany losing WW1 and putting them into a weak position in Europe. First the Jews had to wear special clothes to distinguish them from others, then they weren’t allowed in certain places, then they were sent to concentration camps where they were killed, experiment on, and even worked to death. We have evidence of these horrible things happening, we have firsthand accounts of what happened, some people who survived these events are still alive today, yet some people deny it happened.
A holocaust denier thinks that the holocaust didn’t happen or that it didn’t happen to the extent that people think. The Institute for Historical Review, formed by Willis Carto in 1978, was the first major organization that denied the holocaust, of deniers existed before this but this was a group who could spread more propaganda. Carto’s German counterpart, Ernst Zundel, is a big figure in holocaust denial, although he died in 2017. Zundel made the Samisdat Publishers in Toronto, Canada in 1977, this company does not exist anymore. This company published the Leuchter Report, which swabbed the walls of gas chambers in Auschwitz, this report is very biased. Zundel is also banned from Austria, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, and Lithuania.
I believed that the Holocaust did happen because of the evidence we have, like pictures, real survivors, and structures.

Great topic choice and good job overall Jason! I do think your summary could have been expanded on a bit more.
The holocaust did happen. Its a fact and I think people who dissagree dont think or know about the history. There are aso many books and articals of survivors and the whole story is right there. there are people who have lived through that trauma and have told their story and they all match up with history. I think these people are looking for attention.
I think that the Holocaust did happen. But my opinion on the Holocaust deniers is that they don't make sense because they are proof that it happened like Anne Franks's diary and its also just a piece of history that people shouldn't deny that its real.
I think that the holocaust is 100% real. I don't understand how people can think that it isn't real. there is very clear evidence and facts that this is something that happened. what is the point of denying the holocaust? it was such a tragedy and you wanna stand there and say it doesn't exist what are they on?
I don't know how people don't think the holocaust happened. There is proof that it did happen. There are many pictures that were taken during the holocaust in the concentration camps. There are people that lived through that time and it's hard to talk about the holocaust for them because it was tramatizing.
I think that it is stupid that people have denied that it happened. The evidence is clear, and the survivors who have told their stories aren't just lying for attention, they went through real trauma.
I do not understand Holocaust deniers. The holocaust did happen, we have pictures and people and lots of evidence that prove it did happen. You learn about the holocaust in like 6th grade. I think the holocaust deniers need to actually look at the overwelming about of evedince there is.
I think that the Holocaust definetly did happen. We have proof of it and even people who went through it. The Holocaust is a very dark part in German history. In my opinion, it is very disrespectful to deny it because so many innocent people died of it.
I completly agree, I don't understand how people can deny it.
I think that Holocaust definitely happend. There is many different things that show that it did happen including books, people, pictures, and the consetration camps that are still up. I don't understand how people could think that the holocaust wasn't real because there is lots of evidence that it did happen. I feel it is kind of sad that people think that it wasn't a thing.
