The crazy starts at about 2:50 in the video. If you watch the whole thing, it sounds like she has untied a mental knot so she can feel better about her German heritage. She recognizes the Holocaust was so terrible that the only way to live with herself is to deny it. The bigger delusion is that she thinks she can explain it in a couple minutes, and must think that everyone will just accept it? Prepare for internet, Monika.
The only thing to deny about the Holocaust is that it was only a German thing. Practically every country in Europe was at the very least, complacent if not actively facilitating it at the early stages. Even Canada turned away Jewish refugees and sent them to their deaths. Other countries in Europe (including "allies" were deporting and turning away Jews and other would-be victims (Slavs, socialists, Roma, etc...)) throughout WW2.
There is a whole level of Holocaust denial bigger than these crackpots that deny German guilt.

Who cares if people deny the holocaust. We have pictures, survivor accounts, there's absolutely no doubt it happened. This is like denying the moon landing. Ignore the crazies.

I guess I just found in interesting for the reason why she came to this conclusion. Mostly because she realized how horrible it was, and the only way to move past it is to pretend it didn't happen. Interesting psychological case.
There's geocentrists out there, flat earthers, expanding earthers, and I once read about a society of people that think pi is a real number and scientists are withholding its true value. We don't need to pay attention to these people.
In my opinion, it's almost a non-story. A crazy person denies the Holocaust. So?
Yeah, offensive to survivors I suppose, but really who cares?
Exactly. People still think the earth is flat, creationism is the truth, the moon landing was faked, 9/11 was an inside job, etc. If someone denies the holocaust, then what is there to think except they are an idiot?
And those comments on Youtube are something else. That has to be a joke?

Hey, you never know who is crazy. Some people seem normal, but they have one or two crazy ideas. For example, my mother thinks that "they" are witholding the cure for cancer, because cancer fund raisers make so much money.

My mother-in-law is an award-winning architect who thinks that flouride in the water is a corporate brain-control conspiracy.

Thanked,
The biggest problem with the way people are taught and look at history right now is the simplicity. Thinking that persecution and genocide is something exclusive to Jews / Germans in the 40's, or that Slavery is something exclusive to Blacks / Americans in the 1800's, or that colonialism is something exclusive the that Spanish/British of the 1600's.
We all have to own up to the fact that we have a long storied history of doing really bad things as a race.
Cognitive bias will allow anyone to be comfortable holding onto their crazy ideas like the flu shot being a mind control technique, that the earth is flat, that the sun orbits earth, that the Queen is somehow human and not a lizard, and that Obama is preparing to cull 100 million Americans.
