When its full extent was heard, seen and accepted, but particularly when individuals and groups began to deny its very existence.

____________

Some people have regarded it as important ever since it first became known. However, for a long time it was widely seen as the worst of a whole series of Nazi atrocities. From the late 1960s on it has come be regarded as as increasingly important. However, it wasn't till perhaps that 1990s that it came to be seen as a cardinal event in 20th century history. Obviously, this is very much a 'broad sweep' answer and in some countries and among some groups of people the situation was or is different. Widespread and conscious 'memorialization' of the Holocaust seems to date from the 1990s.

Incidentally, I would share the view that to some extent memorialization has been fuelled by denialism.

What do Holocaust deniers get for denying the Holocaust?

#1 They get some kick or other out of it. I don't think they are paid for denying the Holocaust._____# 2 There is not really a punishment for denying the Holocaust.______Regarding #2 There are officially 14 countries that have enacted thought crime legislation to specifically protect the holocaust from revisionist.It is important to note that the holocaust is the only subject in the history of the west that is not subject to debate or revision. Denier speculate that this is because the history could not stand up to standardized historical review. My oppinion is my own, but i encourage you to look into the claims and contentions of the holocaust narrative.Some people just want to deny the fact that humanity is capable of such atrocities, and simply want to forget about the nightmarish past. Other, more aggressive, deniers see Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and other Holocaust victims as sub-human, and that they will go to heaven if they rid the world of them.Another Answer:From what I have read and the revisionsts I met, they truly believe their arguments are logical and accurate and in some claims they are very convincing.Another Answer:There are numerous political reasons why Holocaust Deniers deny the Holocaust, namely to undermine the nature of the State of Israel or the Rights that Jews and other minorities have gained since the Holocaust. Israel is seen by many as being an international reaction to the Holocaust. If the Holocaust was in some way invalidated, this would, in their minds, invalidate the State of Israel. Similarly if minorities were not as violently oppressed and exterminated as they were in the Holocaust, there would be no need to protect them as strongly as they have been protected in Europe.It is important to note that although the Holocaust swayed international opinion as regards Zionist aspirations, the basis for the State of Israel comes out of writings by Herzl, Jabotinsky, and Ahad Ha-Am from before the Holocaust and the connection between the Holocaust and the on-the-ground creation of the State of Israel is tenuous if at all present.
