Speaking out against Holocaust deniers

Ban calls on world to fight Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism and bigotry
“We must continue to teach our children the lessons of history's darkest chapters. That will help them do a better job than their elders in building a world of peaceful coexistence. We must combat Holocaust denial, and speak out in the face of bigotry and hatred,” he added in the message, read at a ceremony at UN Headquarters in New York by Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro.
The Literary and Debating Society here at NUI Galway has invited a Holocaust denier to speak on campus. I hope I am in town if/when he comes, and I hope the local stores are stocked with posterboard and markers. I hope the format of his speech allows for audience particpation at some point. I hope I am not the only one who shows to counteract free speech of the atrocious variety with free speech based on humanity.

This all reminds me of the Free2choose post I made a few days ago
