>>"did the holocaust happen" connotes that the Holocaust didn't happen and therefore results relevant to that appear in the search. Further, most people who believe it did happen and want more information will just search "holocaust".
Exactly! I was just about to post something similar myself.
That the holocaust did happen is accepted as fact by the vast majority. So, by definition, the only people writing who are going to be even considering the question will be people claiming that it didn't. Likewise, anyone using the search term "did the holocaust happen" is [for whatever reason] seeking out an alternate view.
It's like someone searching for "Is the Earth flat". As most sane people already know the Earth is not, it's a non-issue. The only people taking to the internet to debate the shape of the Earth, therefore, are highly likely to be Flat-Earther lunatics and hence those results are likely to come top of the Google rankings. It doesn't mean there's suddenly a huge wave of people worried about taking a boat journey over the horizon.
