No, but there are many people who know very little about the Holocaust who then spread exaggerated claims not knowing that they are spreading untruths, these include:
- the claim that Hitler wanted to kill every Jew in the world [He didn't]
- the claim that the Holocaust was the reason for the war [It wasn't]
- the issue that the conditions in the concentration camps in 1945 was the same as the conditions in 1933. [they weren't]
- the claim that concentration camps were established for the Jewish question. [they were not]
- the claim that all/none of the German population knew about the Holocaust. [it is hard to tell exactly who knew, but generally those around the camps or railway stations knew others may have suspected]
there are many more..

Agreed. However, as the above inaccurate claims are made in ignorance (and not in malice) I would be inclined to call them misunderstandings. My reason for doing so is that some Holocaust deniers - that is, people who dogmatically deny the core facts of the Holocaust - also speak of 'exaggeration'.

Exaggerate is used to overstate or embellish something, while said is a simple way to indicate who is speaking. For example, "she exaggerated that she had a million things to do" can't be replaced with "she said that she had a million things to do" as it changes the meaning.
How did Holocaust denial start?
The Nazi regime itself took steps to hush up the holocaust. The extermination was supposed to be kept secret ... The extermination camps at Belzec and Treblinka were destroyed in 1943 ... When Soviet forces approached Auschwitz, the gas chambers were blown up and records destroyed - by the Nazis. A few mavericks and cranks denied the Holocaust in the 1960s but gained little attention. Holocaust denial on a large scale started in the 1970s. It went hand in hand with claims that Zionists had exaggerated the Holocaust in order to win sympathy internationally for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This made Holocaust denial popular in much of the Middle East.
