Some people genuinely believe the world is flat despite all the evidence against it. That some deny historical events shouldn't be too shocking.

Some folks just have a hard time believing something so horrible could've happened.

Other folks believe it happened but are spreading disinformation and pretending like they don't. The "just asking questions" type. They're Nazis, plain and simple.
