Holocaust Denial: Rhetoric or Actual Belief?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t understand any of the “conspiracy therorists.” Like, Elvis is still alive, we didn’t really go to the moon, the government had President Kenndy shot, we blew up the trade center ourselves. Any act that would require many people to keep a secret can be dismissed as untrue. Just by human nature, you know darn well that someone is going to blab, give an exclusive interview, release a tell-all book or give a death-bed confession. I think what the psychiatrists say is true – people just want to believe that they know something that no one else knows.
