How is Holocaust denial antisemitic?
Jews claim that any person who questions their faith, or denies Holocaust accounts is a racist because they interpret it as a direct attack on their people and history. …While it is impossible to know what is at the heart of any person, Jews claim that any kind of Holocaust denial is a form of racism because it denies the facts put forth by Jewish scholars and historians, and questions the validity of Jewish history and tradition, and is therefore considered a form of racial discrimination. However, even though some argue that the historically accepted view of events is in fact, corrupt, it may not necessarily mean the individual is racist, or even anti-semitic. Some may even argue that the debate is reduced to a conflict of races, or ethnic discrimination, for the purpose of detracting any further investigation into the facts at the root of the discussion; essentially making the topic socially taboo, and therefore difficult to discuss and research in open circles without being labeled a bigot. It is far easier to discredit someone when they are painted the fool, or uneducated, and ignorant to history and its lessons. ____ Comment The above answer refers to '[denying] the facts put forth by Jewish scholars and historians'. This remark unwittingly answers the actual quesion very neatly. No, the Holocaust is not some Jewish tale told by 'Jewish scholars and historians'. It is accepted in all advanced countries by practically all academic historians. The Holocaust is part of the history of 20th century Europe, of World War 2 and of World History. In fact, you'll find that professional historians are utterly scathing about Holocaust denial. Please see the related question. Reinstated material (following vandalism): Imagine that your own parents and grandparents had been murdered and that years later someone told you that you all this was just 'in your head', that you were lying - and that you were told they had simply deserted you and run away to a remote part of the world. Surely you would feel that you were being cruelly mocked. Holocaust denial mocks Jews; it's a form of Jew-baiting. Go figure ... Next time you speak with some schmuck who tries to tell you that the Holocaust did not happen... smile, nod your head as if you are listening, and make your way to the nearest exit. You are clearly dealing with a person who is either incapable of learning, deranged to the point of being a public hazard, and/or a deliberate liar. Go to a public library, pick one of the hundreds of thousands of books, newsreels, films, documentaries, databases, firsthand accounts, confessions, etc, all attesting to this latest example of the seemingly unlimited supply of man's cruelty to man. Read some of these, until you feel sick to your stomach. Even better, take a trip to New York City, start looking for someone. You'll know him when you see him, the little old man, who can now barely walk down to the market every few days. If you can be crude enough, and have the testicular fortitude, ask him to tell you the story behind that nifty tattoo he sports on his wrist. Don't listen to idiots. Be a mensch. Read and learn. Learn the lessons history has to teach, lest we make the same mistakes. Because there are living survivors who went through horrible trauma. They tell their story so that type of genocide won't take place in the world again. When people deny the Holocaust's existence, they are ignoring an enormous tragedy that should affect the entire species' way of thinking about war and death. And - if you have a shred of imagination - just think how you would feel if you or someone you loved, had been put through hell - and then some nasty lil nazi told you it was all in your 'tiny little mind' (MORE)

What were Adolf Hitler's reasons for supporting antisemitism?
At the end of - and after - World War 1 there were all kinds of conspiracy theories circulating in Germany as 'explanations' for Germany's defeat. One of the most popular was …the 'stab-in-the-back legend', which claimed that Germany hadn't been defeated on the battlefield but had been betrayed on the homefront by subversives - organized labour unions, socialists, Communists and Jews. This urban legend was particularly popular among hardline nationalists, especially in Bavaria. At the same time there were all kinds of far-fetched, fanciful claims that 'the Jews' were a group of Communists trying to take over the world, starting with Germany. The whole thing was complete rubbish, but this kind of stuff brought Hitler cheers in the beer-halls of Bavaria. He made a belief in these bizarre theories his hallmark. (MORE)

Was antisemitism the precondition for the Holocaust?
Yes. Without long-standing prejudices against the Jews it would have been virtually impossible to demonize them in way that the Nazis did and to try to exterminate them. From …a social and political point of view, one cannot simply pick on any group and exterminate it. It has often been said that antisemitism is as irrational as hating people with red hair, but of course 'redheads' have not been demonized and persecuted. (MORE)

How did Hitler become antisemitic?
This is a difficult question. The first answer is that Hitler was unhappy, and needed someone to blame for his misfortune. Then he met and discussed with people that had read… popular theory at the time, that denounced Jews and Slavs as a lesser class of human being. He deliberated from these theories to create his own vision, which he published. He was no original thinker. Many others were out of work, in a recession and needed someone to blame. So it was easy to find others that supported these political views. ____________ According to Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler (Vol. 1: 'Hybris') the earliest reliable evidence of antisemitism on Hitler's part dates from 1916, when he was aged 28. What's more, when he was trying to live in Vienna as an artist, he preferred to sell his paintings through Jewish art dealers. Apparently, they generally got him slightly better prices than the others, and he was of course pleased. So all those naive, 'homely' stories about him having been rejected by a Jewish girl, having caught an STD from a Jewish prostitute, or resenting the Jewish doctor who treated his mother are just guesswork - about on a par with funny stories about the number of testicles he had. (In addition to the well known claim that he 'only had one ball', it has also been suggested he had three. The possibility that he had two is, apparently, just too ordinary and boring). Hitler's antisemitism seems to have 'taken off' in 1919, when he was supposed to be spying (for the German Army) on an obscure political party - the Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (DAP). This party was founded in Munich 5 January 1919 as an expressly populist anti-Communist and anti-Jewish party to resist the Munich Soviet, which it denounced as 'Jewish Bolshevism [Communism]'. It is often said, quite correctly, that Hitler hijacked the DAP; but the hardline nationalist circles in which Hitler moved seem to have influenced him too. (It seems that it wasn't all a matter of one-way traffic). The belief that (most) Jews were Communists, and that Communism was a specifically Jewish ideology became widespread in the wake of the Russian October Revolution of 1917. (It was widely taken for granted in the US, Britain and France, too). In addition, there were fanciful, but oh-so-trendy conspiracy theories that claimed that Bolshevism was part of a wider Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world ... It seems that Hitler moved in circles that took all this uncritically, at face value and - what was even worse - desperately seriously. In a nutshell, the unemployed and largely unempolyable Hitler seems to have swum with the tide. Among disgruntled nationalist veterans in the beer-halls of Bavaria Hitler's antisemitic message brought him round upon round of applause. (MORE)

Why did antisemitism develop under Stalin's rule?
Anti-semitism flourished in Russia long before Stalin took command of the Soviet Union. The pogroms of the 1880s led to the massive emigration of Jews to western Europe an…d North America. The 1905 pogrom in Kiev was recalled by Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in her memoir My Life. Jews were an easy target, opposed by the Russian Orthodox Church, seen as capitalists by Communists and Communists by capitalists. Stalin used an easy and familiar target for a scapegoat. At the same time, Ambassador Andrei Gromyko was the first to speak in favor of a Jewish State before the United Nations' General Assembly, so Stalin could "turn off" the faucet of hatred when it pleased him to do so.
