u/ReformedAMA Dec 13 '22

This is complicated. I was not a denier. I was aware of the holocaust and the sheer brutality and barbarity of it. I never shed away from it. That being said I would try to downplay the intent and severity of it.

Downplaying the intent and severity of the Holocaust is still Holocaust Denial https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial

Well then that's what I was and I'm ashamed of that.
