I do find it rather interesting in terms of human psychology, just like with the Truther movement. As in, why people go through all this to convince themselves of something so obviously ridiculous.
I remember there was a sketch once on Swedish TV about where Holocaust deniers think all those Jews went to. There was something about them waiting around for a late flight somewhere, IIRC.
All conspiracy theories can throw seemingly convincing details at you, but some of them are theoretically unsound whereas others are at least conceivable. Like, I think the Birther movement (or even the Moon landing hoax) are examples of conspiracies that make sense on a theoretical level (but are disproven by the details) which makes me see how people could believe it basedon faulty information.
But Holocaust denial?
