ANYWAY, lets hope that such laws against holocaust denial dont lead to a total lack of recognition of such events. its possible for such laws to promote ignorance, since people of such nations may just decide to never speak of it to be on the safe side. history forgotten is doomed to repeat itself...or be horribly misinterpreted on this forum...

This is BS, history is not doomed to repeat itself, nor was anything horrible misinterpreted, at least not in this thread. Youjust say you decide what people are allowed to say and what not.

I live in one of those countries PVS and I seriously doubt belgian kids know less of the holocaust than other kids. I sure as heck don't know ppl who know very little about it
