65 Negationism
Although not all neo-Nazi groups deny that the Jews were persecuted, many suspect that there has been massive falsification of history and manipulation of and by the media. Support for such views appears in the work of authors such as Robert Faurisson, David Irving, and Ernst Zündel, as well as in the universal conspiracy theories that are especially prevalent in the United States. Even the diary of Anne Frank has been called into question.
