Explanation
Holocaust denial is punishable in Germany because it undermines the memory of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime and disrespects the dignity of the victims. This regulation is based on the principle of human dignity and the protection of democratic society from extremist ideologies. Consequently, the legislature imposes severe penalties to counter such dangerous expressions.
