\"The holocaust myth is the grail and key for jews. To them is justifies their evil actions throughout the world. To tell their own army (the jews) that their people were literally gassed it convinces them they need a world of their own, hence the need to destroy all others so jews of all stamp work in unison to overthrow and destroy the culture and lives of all others. Jews are the enemy of humanity because of THEIR OWN lies and subversions.\"

Could it be that one of the emotional roots of Holocaust Denial is the hope that we live in a Just World, where entire peoples \"get what\'s coming to them\" in karmic terms?

^ I\'d argue that intelligence has nothing to do with it: in fact, the more intelligent they are the better they are at rationalising their beliefs. It\'s a fantastic illustration of ConfirmationBias in action.

---

Moving on, I don\'t see the harm in explaining the emotional reasons for wanting to believe in the non-existence of The Holocaust. Deniers already believe we\'re gullible sheeple, and readers may be interested in learning why some highly intelligent people are so credulous about favourable facts and incredulous about unfavourable ones in a way that allows them to be Holocaust Deniers.
