Many Neo-Nazi? groups, and people associated with them, have sought to deny the Holocaust ever occurred, or to sanitize it; these groups are called [Holocaust revisionist]?s or [Holocaust denier]?s. They teach that claims that six million Jews died are actually part of a Zionist conspiracy. In the Western world, many of these groups are active in the United States, Russia and Germany. One of the most well known of these revisionists is [David Irving]?. In the middle-east, the Palestinian Authority and the Syrian government publish Holocaust revisionist works. Nonetheless, these views are rejected by all serious historians of the period. |
