Holocaust Deniers Living In Denial

I think those who deny the Holocaust are denying history and for such people there is nothing anyone can do to make them change their minds. In a sense, it is as impossible to change the minds of Holocaust deniers as it is to change the minds of those who believe they can change the whole world to one religion. Truth and reality mean very little to such people. They live in a world of their own making and it is a waste of time, energy and resources trying to convince them otherwise. In India there is a saying: The more one kneads the dough the tougher it gets and the more difficult to work with. I think the deliberately ignorant can best be neutralized by the sane maintaining silence.
