Rather than discussing the Holocaust, they should discuss the validity of interest as an economic concept. Shake the foundations of interest, and the financial house of cards crumbles. Challenge a concept, not a people.  

Law separates interest and usury by defining what is exorbitant. The distinction between interest and usury is an arbitrary legal determination with no basis in mathematics. Interest and usury are conceptually synonymous. The quantification of debt wrongfully applies the algebraic concept of exponential growth - compounding interest - upon money. Nothing can grow forever at an ever-increasing rate. As time moves on, the emphasis of ever-increasing growth becomes omnipresent, is quantified and institutionalized in the societal structure, and eventually pushes economic stress to its extreme, the upper limit of expansion: over consumption, over development, and excessive expectations.

Deuteronomy XXIII:19 (Old Testament): Thou shalt not lend upon usury to the brother; usury on money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury:

Deuteronomy XXIII:20 (Old Testament): Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon a stranger; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury...

A German man deported from the US has gone on trial in the Germany city of Mannheim for alleged Holocaust denial. Germar Rudolf published a study saying the Nazis did not use gas to kill Jews at the Auschwitz concentration camp.  The prosecution says he "represented the Holocaust as invention" and used the internet to spread his documents. If found guilty, Mr Rudolf will face up to five years in prison. He has already been given a jail sentence in a similar case but fled to the US. A chemistry graduate, 42-year-old Mr Rudolf also faces charges of defaming the memory of the dead.
