>You will be jailed... in the Western world for questioning holocaust evidence

The context defining claims related to the US and China, not Germany. You will not be jailed in the US for questioning the Holocaust.

> harassed, ridiculed

Ok, but still not relevant to the conversation

> Killed

I hesitate to go further off topic, but do you have a citation for this claim?

You will be ridiculed by your peers, not the government, because the reality of the holocaust is very well documented, and deniers are suspected of motivated reasoning. But jailed or killed? I highly doubt that. They aren't comparable in the slightest.
The 1st Amendment protects your right to say anything you want. But it also protects my right to call you an idiot for saying it.
Please don't do this here.
