In my thesis, I examined the phenomenon of Holocaust denial and Holocaust-related distortions in articles and comments published on the far-right portal Kuruc.info. For my thesis, I conducted a qualitative secondary analysis of the texts collected by Ildikó Barna and Árpád Knap, who used topic modelling to research antisemitism on said portal. Using the category system developed by Manfred Gerstenfeld, I sought to answer questions such as which types of Holocaust-related distortions appear on the portal and which are the most frequent. I also investigated whether antisemitic views related to Holocaust distortion are detectable and to what extent users of the portal try to obscure their views. I have also tried to give some insight into the extent to which articles and comments differ in content or wording.
