Quotes by Holocaust deniers

 * I don't think there was any overall Reich policy to kill the Jews. If there was, they would have been killed and there would not be now so many millions of survivors. And believe me, I am glad for every survivor that there was.
 * David Irving, The 'False News' Trial of Ernst Zündel — 1988: David Irving.


 * Not there's no Holocaust, let say they exaggerated the Holocaust. We don't say many people...but they say there's Holocaust but they are exaggerating, so there's such perception of this event of this title, the Holocaust, in our region...It's not the matter how many were killed, six million or one million, or half...killing is killing, I mean how many Soviets were killed? eight million, so why didn't we talk about them? the problem is not how many were killed. How do they do use it? what do the Palestinians have to do to the Holocaust to pay the price? This is one question we asked...We know that there was massacre against Jewish and against others...what's going on in Palestine we see it the same way, but you don't see it the same way...
 * Bashar al-Assad, Interview with Charlie Rose (2006)

Quotes about Holocaust denial

 * [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.    It  is  an  act  of  vilification that denigrates and harms.
 * Katharine Gelber, quoted in page 454
