let me clarify...I'm not asking whether you believe it happened or not...I'm asking whether you think its proper for a government to make it a crime to deny it?
I believe it happened but I don't think its right for a government to imprison someone who believes otherwise...

Don't know the detail of the law, but doubt any law prohibits "believing" the holocaust never existed. Laws can never change a person's beliefs.
The "crime" is prob more along the lines of groups, writers etc making claims that the holocaust never existed.
There is a reason for these laws - people have abused a scenario - and legislators step in to stop it. Sure, there is no doubt of the holocaust and it is offensive to survivors and their families when idiots attempt to deny it's existence - usually for their own warped agenda.
Only my
but yes, lock the trash up or create a special concentration camp for them to appreciate the finer points of history
