There's still a bunch of Nazis in Germany (and the USA and all over the world) and unless they fly a Swastika flag or walk down the street doing a Hitler salute while yelling "Heil Hitler", the government doesn't really do much.
The issue with Holocaust denial is that it's beyond stupid. It's like saying gravity doesn't exist.
No. It's that spreading obviously false information is harmful to impressionable children. Now religion is still legal in Germany, but that's another story, heh. Even East Germany didn't outright ban religion. They still thought that people had the right to think almost any crazy thought they wanted.

I don't get it. Is it illegal to say that gravity doesn't exist?
