3.+Hitler's+Defense

Why do people defend Hitler and act like the Holocaust never happened?

People defend Hitler and deny the Holocaust for many different reasons. German-Americans, who came to America around the time of the war or who were even born here, have a lot of difficulty admitting that Germany did something wrong. It's a pride issue. (Rohak) Others were fed lies by Adolf Hitler himself, and it's hard to change their beliefs, since Hitler has very well thought-out lies.(Big Lie) Many people think Jews made the Holocaust up for sympathy. Then there are those who share the same immense hate as Hitler, they just don't have the drive to create a second Holocaust, so they just defend him. It's hard for people to change their beliefs, because they were probably told the same thing for their whole lives.(Rohak)
