{{main|Holocaust denial}}
Holocaust denial, the claim that the Nazi genocide of European Jews during the [[Second World War]] either never happened or is substantially exaggerated by historical accounts, is a form of antisemitism and conspiracy theory.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schweitzer |first1=Frederick M. |last2=Perry |first2=Marvin |title=Anti-Semitism: myth and hate from antiquity to the present |publisher=[[Palgrave Macmillan]] |date=2002 |isbn=0-312-16561-7 |page=3 |quote=This books treats several of the myths that have made antisemitism so lethal....

There was a smaller but nonetheless vocal number of supporters in other Western European countries and the United States. These neo-Nazis realized that a Hitlerite regime was impossible, but a reasonable facsimile was possible in the future. These neo-Nazis and their allies realized that any rehabilitation of Nazism could be accomplished only by discrediting the Holocaust.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bland |first=Benjamin |date=2019 |title=Holocaust inversion, anti-Zionism and British neo-fascism: the Israel–Palestine conflict and the extreme right in post-war Britain |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0031322X.2018.1536347 |journal=[[Patterns of Prejudice]] |language=en |volume=53 |issue=1 |pages=86–97 |doi=10.1080/0031322X.2018.1536347 |issn=0031-322X |access-date=11 May 2024 |archive-date=11 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240511134816/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0031322X.2018.1536347 |url-status=live}}</ref>

There is significant debate about whether [[Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany|analogies between Israel's treatment of Palestinians and the Nazis' treatment of Jews]] are antisemitic.{{sfnp|Rosenfeld|2019|pp=175–178, 186}} Those who say they are antisemitic have termed such analogies "Holocaust inversion"—a form of [[Holocaust trivialisation]], in which the Holocaust is compared with other events in a way that downplays its severity.<ref name="marcus">{{cite book
