negationism - Reflexions

negationism

A political current which seeks to deny the existence of genocide and particularly the one orchestrated by Nazi Germany against its Jewish population. Negationism cannot be disassociated from hateful intentions. This is what makes it reprehensible and differentiates it from historical revisionism, which may call into question a particular historical event, but can be positive in the sense that it seeks to re-examine historical interpretations in light of changing situations and developments in scientific thought.
