There certainly is a range of opinion on this issue, and different countries have taken a variety of approaches. http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/holocaust/insights/pdf/bazyler.pdf

 

Maybe a better solution instead of restricting and outlawing offensive thought and speech would be to teach children at a young age just what really happened over there and how it ultimatly destroyed most all of Europe. Teach them about true evil and promoting evil like that will subject them to public ridicule and condemnation. Teach them that there are consequences for believing in and promoting nazi philosophy like never having an opportunity to gain decent employment because Nazi's are disgusting, ignorant, hateful humans condemend by society. Also they might want to teach them that if they someday convert to radical Islam and travel to a foriegn land to fight against their own country, their lives will be eliminated at the earliest possible moment.

A lot was done immediately after the war that in hindsight was not really wise. In the aftermath of the war and without a strong legally protected tradition of free speech, it's perhaps understandable the steps that they took there. However, even with (and, perhaps, especially with), nationalism bubbling up here and there throughout Europe, it's time to end those restrictions. However, once government has its hands on some power, it's loathe to give it up.

 

As with many laws to restrict speech and thought they are not affective. I know England doesn't have the denial law but France does and I do believe anti-semitism is on the rise again all over Europe. Sounds like it's much safer to be a Jew in America.
