should there be "room for debate" if the earth is flat? did you see it with your own eyes?
Of course there should be a debate for whether the earth is flat. It's always good to have a debate, even about things that you feel certain about. The fact you brought this up tells me you are the kind of person who would stifle a debate.

the thing is, any "debate" regarding the holocaust is settled, the evidence is overwhelming, nazi germany rounded up millions of jews (as well as other "undesirables" like communists, roma, homosexuals...) and murdered them. people who still deny that aren't doing it for lack of proof, genuine curiosity, or healthy scepticism, but solely because they don't WANT it to be true for whatever reason. i mean, it's not like people are "debating" if the civil war really happened, or the french revolution. holocaust deniers aren't unconvinced serious historians, but people with an agenda...
The Nazis rounded up Jews to stop them from working with the enemies, such as Russia, which had a lot of Jews.
I have also read that Hitler had the intention of settling Jews in present-day Israel.
