ANY Holocaust denial is offensive

Readers of this thread - HOLOCAUST DENIAL and GENOCIDE DENIAL are WRONG and utterly REPUGNANT for 3 major reasons: (1) it is falsehood; (2) it is profoundly offensive to the memory of the victims, survivors of such atrocities, their loved ones and indeed to all of decent humanity; and (3) it increases the probability of repetition of such awful crimes – history ignored and history denied yields history repeated. Indeed it is for these sorts of reasons that Germany (currently in a leadership position in the EU) has controversially proposed a measure that would criminalize not only those who deny or diminish the Holocaust but those belittling ANY genocide, mass murder, war crimes and other crimes against humanity. 
 
My personal view is that of \"no penalty genocide denial criminalization\" in the interests of free speech and scholarship (see Genocide denial. No-penalty Criminalization Required Now ) so that the punishment from arraignment and public judicial trial of offenders would simply be PUBLIC EXPOSURE of offensive deniers of ANY atrocities such as the WW1 Armenian Genocide (1.5 million killed), the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation),the WW2 Western Theatre Holocaust (30 million Slav, Jewish and Roma dead), the WW2 Eastern Theatre Holocaust (35 million Chinese excess deaths under the Japanese; 6-7 million Indians starved to death by the British), the Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and the Afghan Genocide (9-11 million excess deaths associated, so far, with the Bush wars 1990-2008).
