Editing Holocaust denial (section)

===Denial as a means of genocide===
[[Lawrence Douglas]] argues that denial was invented by the perpetrators and employed as a means of genocide. For example, trucks of [[Zyklon B]] were labeled with [[Red Cross]] symbols and victims were told that they would be "[[resettlement to the East|resettled]]". Douglas also cites the [[Posen speeches]] as an example of denial while genocide was ongoing, with Himmler referring to the Holocaust as "an unnamed and never to be named page of glory". According to Douglas, the denial of mass murder using gas chambers recalls the Nazi efforts to persuade the victims that they were actually harmless showers.<ref name=Douglas>{{cite book |first=Lawrence |last=Douglas |editor1-last=Hennebel |editor1-first=Ludovic |editor2-last=Hochmann |editor2-first=Thomas |title=Genocide Denials and the Law |date=2011 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |isbn=978-0-19-987639-6 |chapter=From Trying the Perpetrator to Trying the Denier and Back Again |pages=55–56}}</ref>
