102. Some would argue that the world did what it could
IMO, that claim is just as fictitious as holocaust denial itself, but it is not nearly as dubious.

My point is, would you have someone jailed for the claim that "the world did what it could"?

Your argument does encompass the logic behind this law, but on a smaller scale. The reason that Germany has these laws is because they are still trying to cope with the fact that they allowed the holocaust to happen in their own backyard. At least that's the conclusion I agreed with after taking a class on the holocaust.
