Point taken, though, about holocaust denial and fundamentalism. It's not without reason that both creationism and holocaust denial are chapters in Michael Shermer's "Why People Believe Weird Things", a study of why people come to hold positions supported by no evidence.
Excellant book

Re: Holocaust Deniers
Other facts that a person should know (off the top of my head):
-The Great War 1914-1919
-Otto Van Bismark
-WW2 1939-1945
-Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941
-D-day...Normandy Beach...Hitler got fooled big time... thought main landing was in Greece
-Fat Man (plutonium) and Little Boy (uranium)
-etc.
This might make an interesting topic.
