In recent years there have been three major cases at New Zealand universities involving, to varying degrees, denial of the Holocaust: the Master of Arts theses of Joel Hayward and Roel van Leuween, and the potential PhD thesis of Hans Kupka. All three controversies garnered varying public attention, with the universities involved reacting in ways perhaps not seen before or elsewhere in the world. This essay argues that these three controversies speak to an underlying ignorance and indifference towards the Holocaust and Holocaust denial in New Zealand, along with evidencing a potentially apathetic attitude towards the extreme right and antisemitism more generally
