Why is that one special? People hold impacting opinions like "gays should (not) marry". Picking a side and saying "this perspective shouldn't exist" represents one group becoming dominant and trying to suppress the other.
Some people may think more accurate to talk about "extermination/concentration/ccollection". These opinions should be reflected if want an open conversation instead of oppression of a dominant group.
It's tempting to think that our own cultural group is the one in the right and that we need to educate others, but a quick look at History shows the limits of that mindset

"The other" group are Nazis and Holocaust deniers. In many European countries, these are suppressed by law, and for good reason. Additionally, history revisionism - of which Holocaust denial is a subset - is an actual threat to a democratic society, as a functioning democracy at its core requires arguments based on facts, not lies.
