=== Japan ===
Japanese Holocaust denial first appeared in 1989 and reached its peak in 1995 with the publication in February 1995 by the Japanese magazine ''{{ill|Marco Polo (magazine)|lt=Marco Polo|ja|マルコポーロ (雑誌)}}'', a 250,000-circulation monthly published by [[Bungei Shunju]], of a Holocaust denial article by physician Masanori Nishioka<ref>{{cite book|last=Falk|first=Avner|year=2008|title=Anti-Semitism: a History and Psychoanalysis of Contemporary Hatred|publisher=Praeger|location=Westport, CT|isbn=978-0-313-35384-0|page=106}}</ref> which stated: "The '[[Holocaust]]' is a fabrication. There were no execution [[gas chambers]] in [[Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz]] or in any other [[concentration camp]]. Today, what is displayed as 'gas chambers' at the remains of the Auschwitz camp in Poland are a post-war fabrication by the Polish communist regime or by the [[Soviet Union]], which controlled the country. Not once, neither at Auschwitz nor in any territory controlled by the Germans during the Second World War, was there 'mass murder of Jews' in 'gas chambers."<ref>[ Masanori Nishioka, "The Greatest Taboo of Postwar World History: There Were No Nazi 'Gas Chambers'" ''Marco Polo'', February 1995.]</ref> The Los Angeles-based [[Simon Wiesenthal Center]] instigated a [[boycott]] of Bungei Shunju advertisers, including [[Volkswagen]], [[Mitsubishi]], and [[Cartier (jeweler)|Cartier]].

=== Finland ===
Holocaust denial started in Finland almost immediately after the war, with many Finns who had been involved in the [[Nazism in Finland|far-right and Nazi movements]] publishing articles questioning the Holocaust. Prominent early Finnish Holocaust deniers include professor [[C. A. J. Gadolin]], CEO [[Carl-Gustaf Herlitz]], architech [[Carl O. Nordling]] and ambassador [[Teo Snellman]].<ref>"[https://areena.yle.fi/audio/1-4342168 Kääntäkää aseenne ihmiskunnan suurinta vihollista, kommunismia vastaan]!"

In the late 1980 and early 1990s, National Radical Party's newspaper ''Uusi Suunta'' wrote how the supposed Jewish owned media maglined fascism with Holocaust "sob stories" that "have never been proven" to undermine the nationalist movement. One issue of ''Uusi Suunta'' stated that "The horrors of the concentration camps, that are not true by half, have been tied to the nationalist movement regardless of nationality."<ref name=Kotonen/> In the 1990s the party secretary of the [[National Democratic Party (Finland)|National Democratic Party]] Olavi Koskela said that "the unbelievable Holocaust lies" enable the Jewish rulership over multicultural, multiracial and multilingual society. [[Finland - Fatherland]]'s newspaper ''Kansallinen Rintama'' made similar arguments.<ref name=Kotonen/>

Antisemitism has also experienced a resurgence after the Cold War, both in the internet and real life.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eurojewcong.org/news/communities-news/finland/finnish-government-presents-report-about-the-rise-of-antisemitism-in-the-country/|title=Finnish government presents report about the rise of antisemitism in the country|work=[[European Jewish Congress]]|date=17 February 2025}}</ref> Medical [[Licentiate (degree)|Licentiate]] Vesa-Ilkka Laurio wrote a blog frequently denying the Holocaust and criticizing democracy from a Christian fundamentalist perspective. [[Swedenborgian]] ''Nova Hierosolyma''-society's ''Uusi Jerusalem'' website also publishes Holocaust denial material, an article written by Erkki Kivilohkare claiming only 100,000 Jews died in the Holocaust. Another Swedenborgian fundamentalist Markku Juutinen has also denied holocaust in the ''Kumouksen ääni''-magazine.<ref name=Kotonen/>

In 2013, the [[Simon Wiesenthal Centre]] asked President Niinistö to condemn a neo-Nazi newspaper circulated to some 660,000 households. The newspaper published articles denying the Holocaust and articles such as "Zionist terrorism" and "CNN, Goldman Sachs and Zionist Control" translated from [[David Duke]].<ref name="yle2">Oosi, Riikka: [http://yle.fi/uutiset/3-6893270 Kärkkäisen tuomio ei yllätä asiantuntijaa] Yle.
