When I was growing up, we lived down the street from a German woman who denied the Holocaust had ever happened. I couldn’t understand her denial, in the face of photographs and testimony from concentration camp victims, the soldiers who liberated them, and the existence of thousands of mass graves in Germany.
I now understand the phenomenon after reading similar denials by Trump followers of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia. Case in point: Tom Kurilich claims that Robert Muller “has yet to come up with a single shred of evidence of collusion.” Seriously?
