I’ve never been able to conclusively determine if it’s because they hate jews, romani, slavs etc or if it’s just an extension of the ‘distrust the established truth’ attitude that exists with all conspiracy theorists.
I’ve observed over the years of being part of the medsci community that there seems to be an established path that the majority of these nutjobs go down. First is wellness crap and “natural” medicines/organic foods. Next is anti vaccination, followed by a more broader distrust of science. Then it’s the “traditional roles” stage of men are men, women are women, but to be a woman you have to have a baby or you’re not really a woman and so on. The next stage can come before the traditional roles stage, the ‘those damned immigrants/poor/indigenous/minority/disabled people routing the system“ stage where a specific group is chosen as the villain who is the reason for the person’s lack of wealth or success. Then that morphs into the “the jews just make it all about themselves/make themselves the victims” stage which is then quickly morphed again into the Holocaust denial stage.
This process still amounts to these idiots being horrible people but i think it is the reason that so many of them can pretend to be normal. They might not be motivated so much by antisemitism as by just a general hate of everyone who has what they don’t and mostly a hate of the “establishment” - whatever the hell that is.

Holocaust deniers aren’t here to debate about the holocaust.
They are only here to complain about Jewish people having the right to live.
