Yes sadly there are people who deny the Holocaust but most decent people know the truth.
My Australian great uncles (on my dad's side) wife was a German Jewess and she and her younger brother sadly lost all of their family in the concentration camps. Luckily Erica and her brother escaped and they stole a bicycle and cycled through Nazi occupied Germany and France until they were picked up by the allies and shipped off to Australia where they lived for the rest of their lives.
Also my mum's brother in law lost all his relatives in the camps. His mother's people were German Jews and sadly they all perished in the camps too.
Couldn't agree more, though there are those who deny it ever happened....and it's amazing how location changes how people look at things:
Last year there was a group of kids from my school who went to Germany for 2weeks, and they came to talk to my Language Arts class at the beginning of the year. They told us a story of going to a concentration camp, and how some of their host families were hesitant of taking them there. Then when they were there looking at the photos and seeing the ovens they saw a group of local kids wandering around laughing at the pictures joking around about how funny they looked. Though I wasn't there when they experienced the disrespect these kids showed I felt horrible that they would joke around with a subject this serious

Same here Chelsea.
It's good that over 60 years on younger people know the history of the Holocaust and remember the victims. A few years ago I went to the Holocaust exhibition at the Imperial War museum here in London and I found it a very moving experience.
Ever since he signed up to be the new James Bond I have admired Daniel Craig, but now I am speechless. My friends and I went to go see his new movie Defiance and it blew us away. If anyone is interested in seeing a good movie or is interested in the Holocaust I would recommend this film! It was very well done and so touching; this film is an emotional rollercoaster.
I wasn't sure...

I don't think I've heard of it, but it does look good, I will have to keep and eye out for that one,
