"Is it important, for me as an individual, to know the truth as best as it can be told? Yes!"

Nice post - I agree.

To add to that, perhaps a better way of looking at the situation is to talk about the "discussion" or "search" for the truth as a wide field of study that includes many conflicting points of view on many topics within the overall subject area of the holocaust.

Sharing information and increasing understanding and knowledge is all part of this process, and at times someone will raise their head and say "it's a lie it never happened."

If the discussion is already out there and keeping itself in the limelight, through the efforts of people such as us on forums such as this and wider, then the deniers will quckly look out of depth to those who are keeping track of it.

Debates about the detail should be encouraged as much as possible to highlight just what a bunch of outlandish loonies the deniers are when they try to butt in.

Azizi and Wilfried for example in the "growing up in post holocaust Germany" thread have given our souls but a taste of great riches.
