It’s not just Germany, it is17 countries. That’s most of Europe.
The laws don’t always say “it is illegal to deny the holocaust” … but you have to look at the way libel laws are used.
Britain actually convicts on counts of libel for holocaust denial (see historian David Irving). They have laws on incitement to hatred and offensive communication that are used should one post a story that mentions holocaust denial (see Allison Chabloz).
My point still stands. Seeing all those countries with laws like this could make a reasonable person suspicious.
