Denial as Hate Speech
How does genocide denial affect the victim and why do we need laws against it? Dr. Israel Charny, psychologist and executive director of the Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide in Jerusalem, asserts that denial - as a form of hate speech - is a continuation of the trauma of genocide, a form of violence that continues to dehumanize and inflict suffering on the victim group long after the physical act of genocide.
