Holocaust denial is a movement that undermines the historical truth of the Nazi genocide against Jews during WWII. It began gaining momentum in the 1970s, using pseudo-academic journals and conferences to spread misinformation. Figures like Maurice Bardèche and Harry Elmer Barnes played pivotal roles in shaping denial ideology, which has evolved through literature and organizations such as the Institute for Historical Review. Legal cases have affirmed the historical facts of the Holocaust, highlighting the importance of accurate education and the dangers of denial to memory and society.
