Both religion and the standard Holocaust narrative are emotionally moving stories accepted by the majority in society that are mostly consistent with reality but with certain details not quite making sense. That's where skepticism is called for.
The "standard Holocaust narrative" as you put it, is that the government of Germany deliberately murdered approximately 10 million people due to their religion (Jewish), ancestry (Roma), political views (anti-nazi), or for some perceived eugenic defect (Homosexuality, Downs, retardation, physical deformities).
There is far more evidence that happened, including living eye witnesses, camera footage, official documents, and the statements of those that committed the acts.
And since you use the phrase "standard Holocaust narrative" I can only assume you are one of those that refutes empirical evidence, and is therefore working on the basis of belief that "standard Holocaust narrative" is false?

Why, was this Locke person a holocaust skeptic? Maybe I misunderstood your post.
So far as the construction of my post though; No.
(person) argues against holocaust skeptics
(person) argues against religionists
I am equating holocaust skeptics with religionists.
