This article aims to observe the ideological construction of Holocaust denial, the denial of Nazi crimes and the fictitious rewriting of history, as well as its emergence in the public space of the 1970s. At the end of the war, already, former Nazis and neo-Nazi militants attempted in books of propaganda to whitewash Nazi crime and to exonerate Hitler from the death of six million Jews. Then, in the 1960s, intellectuals from all over the world, close to neo-Nazi and neo-fascist circles, brought an ideological construction to Holocaust denial by spreading their allegations in the media as well as in political, community and intellectual circles. In just ten years, Holocaust denial has been able to penetrate the mind and create doubt in all sectors of the population.
