Holohoax
conspiracy \ ˈhō-lə-hōks \
: a portmanteau combining the words "Holocaust" and "hoax"
WHY IT’S ANTISEMITIC:
The term “Holohoax” is a term commonly used by Holocaust deniers across the political spectrum, who claim the Jewish people exaggerated or made up the Holocaust. According to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue’s report, Hosting the Holohoax: A Snapshot of Holocaust Denial Across Social Media, the term Holohoax was used tens of thousands of times across different social media platforms between 2018 and 2020 by individuals and groups of nearly every political disposition, including extreme-right, anti-Zionist, conspiracy theorist, pro-Palestinian, and more.
Those who claim the Holocaust was fake have also stated that Jews trick people into feeling guilty about the Holocaust for their own benefit. Holocaust deniers are also more likely to believe in other conspiracy theories about Jews, such as Jews being behind mass migration efforts or manipulation (see Great Replacement, control).
