Holocaust denial is a propaganda movement that seeks to deny the reality of the Nazi regime's systematic mass murder of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II. By attacking the facts of the Holocaust, and by framing this attack as merely an unorthodox point of view, the Holocaust deniers' propaganda insinuates subtle but hateful anti-Semitic beliefs about Jews as exploiters of non-Jewish guilt, and as controllers of academia or the media. Holocaust deniers have used the Web to post thousands of pages of text filled with distortions and fabrications. The Zündelsite, voicing the views of Canadian propagandist Ernst Zündel, the Committee for Open Discussion of the Holocaust Story Web site, created by denier Bradley Smith, and Greg Raven's site for the Institute for Historical Review (IHR) are but a few of the many Holocaust denial sites on the Web.
