Not going to happen.
The "Holohoax" crowd are a small and rabidly aggressive group. They are, to a man, idiots and assholes. They have a small but persistent community which regularly talks about the evils of Jews and how idiotic the entire rest of the world is for believing that the Holocaust ever happened. I've run across them on multiple forums.
You don't really grasp the depth of their delusions, at first. No one ever does. Then they claim, with a straight face, that Treblinka was actually a vacation resort for Jews, with its own theater, musical program, restaurants, zoo for the children, and free health care for everyone.
Yes, this really happened. No, the claim was never rescinded. I'd link to the thread, but I can't be arsed to go and look it up right now, and I'm pretty sure you'd all like to avoid getting that amount of internet skunge all over yourselves. In the same way, I'm not going to link their dedicated forums - no one with a functioning brain ever wants to see that kind of toxic idiocy, and I don't want to give them free traffic.
Basically, it's a cult of raging assholes and the terminally stupid, and trying to reason with them, or get them to honestly reevaluate their beliefs, is a waste of time.
If you want a handy guide to all the various stupid things that Harris will likely ever say (they're not a very creative bunch), though, you can check the RationalWiki article on Holocaust denial.
