The Effects of Holocaust Denial

Special Briefing: The Effects of Holocaust Denial

This short briefing is not to evidence that the Holocaust happened; there is no legitimate debate. The Holocaust occurred. Six million Jews, alongside millions of other people, were murdered. As eminent Professor, Deborah E Lipstadt stresses, there is no ‘other side’ to the argument. This short paper aims to demonstrate the negative effects Holocaust denial has on both individuals who espouse it, those who are subjected to it and broader society in order to explain and evidence why such denial has no place on social media platforms and why they should protect their users by removing such content.
