LOL as there is not solid proof as such nonsense happening in the history of the human race an in the same class as the moon landings being hoaxes.
Too many people would needed to be involve an kept silent not for years but for lifetimes.
Idk. Lots of people claim 9/11 was a hoax, the moonlandings, etc. but who is really open to reviewing the evidence they give and finding in their favor? I mean, if you review the evidence and believe them, you become a conspiracy theorist; so we naturally avoid putting ourselves in that position.
My position is to just recognize that we have the information we have and we can review the various claims people make about hoaxes and conspiracies without believing one way or the other. Freedom of religion means we don't have to believe anything we don't feel convinced of.
If you think the moonlandings were faked, in other words, you might be right or you might be wrong. No one can force you to believe either way.
With holocaust denial, you have an additional issue, however, which is that there are people who use such denial as a way of practicing anti-Semitism, so even if you're a person who generally can't overcome their skepticism if they don't witness something directly with their own eyes, you should still give consideration to how it makes a victim feel when a bully lies about the bullying as part of the bullying.
Certainly everyone can empathize with that feeling of having someone lie about something they did to hurt you in front of others, such as a sibling or classmate who does something mean and then lies to the parent/teacher when questioned and makes you look like a tattletale for complaining.
