Yad Vashem certainly manipulates the Holocaust story to extract maximum justification for Jewish self-interests. But in reality it was extraordinarily brutal and frightening in its industrial efficiency. Often the emotion in the perpetrators wasn't active hatred; they were laughing and cracking jokes with each other as they poured the cyanide pellets in. Hannah Arendt told us how banal evil can be.
So I don't think the story should be forgotten or become distorted beneath a confectionery coating. Though Holocaust denial is probably better confronted with the facts than with a ban.
