"The three major foundations upon which Holocaust denial rests: that gas chambers and crematoria were used not for mass extermination but rather for delousing clothing and disposing of people who died of disease and overwork; ... that the six million figure is an exaggeration by an order of magnitude—that about six hundred thousand, not six million, died at the hands of the Nazis; ... that there was no intention on the part of the Nazis to exterminate European Jewry and that the Holocaust was nothing more than the unfortunate by-product of the vicissitudes of war."
Holocaust denial is the negationist and antisemitic claim that Nazi Germany and its collaborators did not commit genocide against European Jews during World War II, ignoring overwhelming historical evidence to the contrary.

If we assume the average person to be half a meter wide and a quarter meter deep (25 cm), then this amounts to 14 persons in a row, with 120 rows in total, resulting in 1,680 people, or 8 persons per square meter. … Many witnesses claim 2000 or more (≥9.5/m²) crammed into this gas chamber."
"[In] the act of denying this historical truth [of the Holocaust], the deniers denigrate the Jewish people and memories of historical occurrences, suggest that those who accept the truth of the Holocaust, lie; and relativize the suffering incurred. Thus, the act of Holocaust denial is not simply an expression of belief in what did or did not happen historically, given that the Holocaust has been historically verified.

"The kinds of assertions made in Holocaust-denial material include the following:"
"Jews are thus depicted as manipulative and powerful conspirators who have fabricated myths of their own suffering for their own ends. According to the Holocaust deniers, by forging evidence and mounting a massive propaganda effort, the Jews have established their lies as truth and reaped enormous rewards from doing so: for example, in making financial claims on Germany and acquiring international support for Israel."
"The title of Austin Apps major work on the Holocaust, The Six Million Swindle, is informative because it implies on its very own the existence of a conspiracy of Jews to perpetrate a hoax against non-Jews for monetary gain."
