Why do far right wingers have such a strong tendency to deny the Holocaust? Even among literal Nazis who would be glad that it happened, I see many times that they just flatly deny it exists, and I honestly can't figure out why. It's mostly anecdotal evidence, but it seems fairly evident. There's obviously some appeal to them from denying it but honestly I can't see why they would do it. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

    The counter of Holocaust deniers is to say that communists did all the real killing. It falls in line with the early Nazi conspiracies that communism was a Jewish plot and it's rooted propaganda into "Stalin killed millions".
