2) If the statement is "The holocaust never happened. It was a lie created by Jews.", then a GROUP of people have had their reputation maligned.
Arguably, an individual "person's" reputation may not be directly maligned, even if that person was of the Jewish faith. In addition, if the person involved was born after the Holocaust, the claim to a tarnished reputation is probably even harder to prove.
I would agree. I'm going to have to say that it only counts as slander if it's against an individual person or if it's against a currently functioning group of people acting as a singular entity. However, I think the group can't surpass a certain size or perhaps condition. I don't think you can commit slander against a race or religion, but against a political group, sure.
