If you are a certain type of Muslim, then the Holocaust was made up to have an excuse to give Jerusalem to the Jews. If you are a White Supremacist, the Holocaust was made up as part of a secret plot that Jews, (and others) have to take over the world
There have been a lot of conspiracy theories about the Jews taking over the world in the last 100 years. It fits in very well with a certain type of narrative that will get this thread pushed over to PARF in short order. These theories dovetail very well with other agendas and with other narratives. You would be surprised how many people buy into them at some level.
FWIW, the kind of antisemitism that buys into this is on the rise in Poland, Germany, and a few other places you might live closer to. It is in some ways a useful tool for some to consolidate demographics into solid political blocks. Like a lot of things, it doesn't have to be true to be appealing and motivating.
It can be very motivating, and it can be used very effectively.
