It is difficult to say exactly how the intense trauma of the Holocaust may have shaped Paul Rassinier's views and opinions on the topic. As a former prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, Rassinier experienced profound trauma and loss, and it is possible that his experiences may have influenced his interpretation of the events of the Holocaust.

Some scholars have suggested that Rassinier's denial of the Holocaust may have been driven by a desire to avoid confronting the painful memories and experiences of his time in the concentration camps. Others have suggested that his denial may have been a response to the perceived injustices of post-war justice and the Allied occupation of Germany, or a critique of totalitarianism and state violence more broadly.

Regardless of the reasons behind Rassinier's views on the Holocaust, it is important to recognize that many experts and historians have challenged and rejected his denialism, citing the extensive documentation and testimonies that support the reality of the Holocaust. The experiences and opinions of individual Holocaust survivors are significant and deserve respect, but they must be evaluated within the broader context of historical evidence and research.
