As the Museum's hundreds of millions of archival documents attest, the Holocaust is the best-documented case of genocide. Yet people always have attempted to distort the history or flat-out deny it, for a variety of reasons. Museum experts will discuss the roles played in this dangerous manipulation by individuals who attempt to rewrite Holocaust history, by countries that rehabilitate the images of local collaborators in the Holocaust, and by people spreading distortion on social media. Request a reminder to join this discussion.

It is part of a pattern of denial, distortion, and other antisemitic activity around the world. Mohammad Kheirkhah/UPI/Newscom
