    How do other countries handle Holocaust denialism? I still think free speech is a highly coveted right but clearly it can be welded as dangerously as a nuclear warhead.

      In my country, Hungary, it was illegal and people went to prison over it. However, Fidesz went with “zero tolerance for antisemitism”, so they hired a very right-leaning Jew to say “antisemitism is over”, then no longer enforce the law in the name of “fairness and equality”, because “other genocides are also being denied”.
