I'm curious if anyone has or will hold "free speech events" in Europe to advocate people's rights to deny the Holocaust (where 14 nations outlaw such rhetoric and have even imprisoned "offenders")---not on the grounds that they think it never actually occurred, but on the principle that no one should be treated as criminals for expressing a point of view that threatens to harm no one, however dumb it may be.

As I mentioned over here I was privileged enough to be able to see the Australian screening of German Concentration Camps Factual Survey (1945/2014). The documentary, which had never been completed, was completed according to the filmmakers intentions, including their scripted voice over read word-for-word. There were a number of factual errors in it; and as time has gone on historians have corrected the errors told in the concentration camp saga. Yet if you questioned whether Dachau really was an extermination camp with a gas chamber that was used for mass Jewish killings - if you questioned that fact (which was later found out to be wrong) you'd be labelled as a Holocaust denier. So of course it's not sensible to outright ban "denial". It doesn't change the fact that there are deniers out there who refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence that shows that over 5 million Jews died in concentration camps and most of them through systematic extermination.
