Look at the original text underneath the "approved for release 2004/..."-stamp: it reads "The Washington Observer". That's the publication where this article was originally published. See also the multiple instances in which the author refers to himself/his newspaper as "WO". In this article, the author is railing against various things, among them reporting in Counterspy magazine, a left-wing publication which was a thorn in the CIA's side in the early 70s, and against the Jews.
This is clearly not an official document of the CIA itself, it is a document of interest to the CIA because it touched upon a few CIA-adjacent topics and thus made its way to their archives. If you had actually taken the time to read the whole thing, you would quickly notice the extremely casual writing style and the lack of focus, meandering from topic to topic in quick succession. It's laughable to sell this garbage as an official, internal document of the CIA in which it "accidentally admits that the Holocaust was a lie".
My grandpa didn't even tell stories. Whatever he saw was so bad that he refused to talk about the war for the rest of his life. I had to research his trek through Europe to understand where he went and what he saw. 63rd infantry division (I've seen his name on the division roster) is recognized by the US Holocaust Memorial as liberators of several sub camps of the Kaufering complex near Landsberg on 29-30 April, 1945.
36 US divisions are recognized as liberating death camps.
No True Scotsman...
Those types rely on innuendo and obfuscation to perpetuate their racist lies. Nothing new.
No, It's Counterspy Magazine, here's the accompanying FOIA release for the article.

Y'all hashing out generational trauma attributing why your grandpa didn't talk about the war is probably as foreign to you as to why he didn't scam the VA system for 100% benefits for PTSD or Tinnitus that doesn't exist.
My grandfather didn't talk about about his time in the 28th infantry except one time, once a story about his capture in the Battle of the Bulge.
