Report “The Holocaust Fraud Exposed” YouTube video

This briefing highlights the antisemitic video “The Holocaust Fraud Exposed” on YouTube. It was uploaded on March 7, 2014 and has been viewed 15,173 times since. More concerning is the fact that it has received 216 thumbs up as against 25 thumbs down.

The video promotes Holocaust denial. It claims that the Holocaust never took place, particularly that gas chambers were never used to mass murder Jews.  As we explain in our briefing on Holocaust denial and social media, Holocaust denial is not just about hurting the sentiments of the Holocaust survivors and their family by belittling their pain and loss. Seeking to disprove the Holocaust as a hoax is a method used to promote a revival of the far right, and as a ruse to delegitimize of the State of Israel.

In fact, so strong is the evidence on Holocaust that 14 countries have banned Holocaust denial, including Germany.

Below we share the original video, a screenshot of the video for reference (in case it has been removed) and three examples from the video to illustrate its antisemitic nature.
