One of the main reasons that law exists is because rewriting history to blame the Jews (and other non-approved races) for Germany's fate is one of the things that was responsible for World War II, or at least one of the things responsible for it getting as nasty as it did.
Holocaust denial may be the symptom, as opposed to the disease itself, but it's dangerous in its own right. |

If someone wants to say that Man ever landed on the Moon, that's his right.
If someone wants to say that no U.S. troops ever went to Vietnam, that, too, is his right, even though he would be clearly incorrect regarding his opinion.
Overwhelming evidence clearly states that the Nazis murdered millions in the camps - this most people with common sense accept; however, if someone should disagree with history and publicly deny it, they should not go to jail for it, simply because it offends certain people.
Once you start down this road, people will be able to throw you in jail for having a differing opinion on any little thing - and THAT is more dangerous than any Holocaust revisionism ever could be. |

Looks like what goes around, comes around. |
