After World War II was over, those who were involved with the mass killings were punished. The Nuremberg Trials were the war crimes trials held to punish them. Overall, most people will agree that not only did the Holocaust happen, but also it was the worst display of hatred that has ever been committed. There is another view of the Holocaust that is a great contrast to that of the latter. They do not dispute the fact that large numbers of Jews were deported to concentration camps and ghettos, or that many Jews died or were killed during the Second World War.
Revisionists point out that the Holocaust story has changed quite a lot over the years.
Many extermination claims that were once widely accepted have been quietly dropped in recent years. At one time it was alleged that the Germans gassed Jews at Dachau, Buchenwald and other concentration camps in Germany proper. That part of the extermination story proved so untenable that it was abandoned more than 20 years ago. Many of the holders of this belief say that the Jews were not singled out as the target of hatred. They say that many groups of people were affected by the Holocaust and that Jewish people have exaggerated the facts for one reason or another.
