Do people still really believe the Holocaust didn't happen?
On July 10, 1997, basketball star Kareem Abdul Jabbar met with former Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau in Israel. The connection was deep, as Jabbar’s father was with the U.S. army unit that liberated Buchenwald when Lau was a child imprisoned there! Two African-American soldiers carried him to a nearby village, exclaiming, "Look at the child who you were fighting against! This is the enemy of the Nazis!" Lau gave Jabbar a watch with the Hebrew inscription, "One can earn the world at one time."
I think that they should ask Kareem if it happened. Don't you?

Yes, there are people who still believe the Holocaust never happened, but that's because they are unwilling ot believe that people could have been manipulated so easily by the Nazis.
Or at least that's *MY* take on why there are still people who don't believe that the Holocaust did, or could have, happened.

There are people who believe that the Holocaust did not happen and no amount of reasoning or presentation of historical fact will change their minds for the simple reason that the denial is an excuse for their hate fill-minds.
Your example of Jabbar's and Lau's experience would not make any impact on the disbelievers. Look at people like the current Iranian president who denies the Holocaust. You would think that someone who is a head of state and has some learning or knowledge of history would not take such a stance, but then again it is not facts that they are interested in but the excuse to hate.
