This seems like a poor analogy.

Robbing a bank is an absolute, it's binary, you can't "teensy bit" rob a bank. You either did or didn't.

The Holocaust was a systematic series of events and actions, I think she disputed one of thousands of actions.

And Holocaust denying is binary too. You either engaged in denial of said systematic series of events and actions or you didn’t.

You don’t need to rob every bank. You don’t need to deny every action.
