Denying

Why would any human being want to deny that the events of the Holocaust happened? For what reason would you want to deny the testimony of these children in this film?  Or the people who still live today to tell their painful story.  It is like denying the testimony of the peoples who witnessed the events of the Bible.  
I believe the reason for denying the facts of the Holocaust are for the same reason people want to deny the events of the Bible.  In doing so, we choose to dismiss the Sovereignty of the God of Israel,  His Promises,  His Righteousness,  His Judgement of what we are doing compared to His Standard. 

And then the trajectory begins ... we deny that He has chosen a people.  And that through those chosen people that we deny,  we also deny His chosen Messiah. We then deny that He would come, and has come, and will come again.  We often dismiss the Truth when it means we have to adjust our own thinking.
