    I am sure the holocaust was also a “pretty strong claim” during the actual holocaust.

      That’s why Jan Karski toned down his report on the Holocaust; he was afraid people wouldn’t believe the unimaginable horrors he saw. He was still met with skepticism.

      Not really.

      Everyone was really horrified when information on what was happening went public.

      And there were little doubts on making what needed to be done to punish perpetrators and making Germany incapable of doing something like that again for years to come.

      Shitty holocaust deniers were something that came later.
