Eliot Engel: “Certainly nothing is more obscene than those Holocaust revisionists who try to claim that it did not happen or that it…”

On the recordApril 16, 1996
Certainly nothing is more obscene than those Holocaust revisionists who try to claim that it did not happen or that it did not happen to the magnitude that we know it happened. They include, unfortunately, leaders of countries. Even a candidate for President of this country has from time to time made such ridiculous allegations. Mr. Speaker, the unspeakable atrocities that went on in trying to annihilate the Jews of Europe is something that must never be forgotten, and it is certainly something that must never be repeated.
