Holocaust Denial Remains Central To Antisemitic Conspiracies

 

(New York, N.Y.) — Today, Israelis and Jewish communities will begin their
observance of Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah, a remembrance of
the six million lives lost in the Holocaust as well as Jewish resistance in the
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In recent years, Holocaust denial and revisionism have
become central components of antisemitic conspiracies regarding Jewish power
and influence, leading the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)
to specificallyclassify

Holocaust denial and revisionism as an example of contemporary antisemitism.

 

In January 2022, the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution

expressing concern about “the growing prevalence of Holocaust denial or
distortion through the use of information and communications technologies,” and
called on all U.N. members to develop educational programs on the Holocaust and
“reject without any reservation any denial or distortion of the Holocaust as a
historical event, either in full or in part, or any activities to this end.”
Antisemitism monitors recorded more antisemitic incidents in the United States
in 2021 than in any other year in decades.

 

Holocaust denial and revisionism can be broken down into two primary
intersecting ideas: The record of the Holocaust is false or has been
exaggerated and Jews abuse the memory of the Holocaust to garner sympathy and
maintain influence. At the core of each is the accusation that Jews have
distorted history, drawing from the idea of a powerful Jewish conspiracy
manipulating global attitudes, historical records, and international affairs.
