Holocaust revisionism

The term holocaust revisionism refers to historical revisionism of a holocaust. It is usually used to refer to attempts to alter the perception of events occurring in Germany in the late 1930s and early 1940s termed "The Holocaust".

The term can be used to describe legitimate revisionism or illegitimate negationism, the latter of which is associated with the phrase holocaust denial. This article is intended to focus on the former.
