Holocaust denial
The Guardian review lists Holocaust denial amongst its examples, but not as an example of pseudoscience. (I suspect the author would classify it as a conspiracy theory.) Perhaps another source classifies it that way? --Yngvadottir (talk) 12:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * In the broadest of terms, Holocaust denial is a conspiracy theory, boiling down to the contention that the Holocaust was greatly exaggerated by Jews for Zionist purposes. For obvious reasons, Holocaust denial is also considered pseudohistory. Bearing in mind that much of the 'evidence' accrued for Holocaust denial purposes is very unscientific (this one being an obvious example), it is also entirely reasonable to consider it pseudoscience. To be more specific though, I've amended it to pseudohistory, since that's still very much what it is, and two clear conspiracy theories are already indicated for that aspect.
