Hamer has often been accused of publishing anti-semitic and ant-Jewish statements in his public letters and on his webpages, including the denial of holocaust. At the moment (2008) he is accused of incitement of hatred against a minority of the population (article&nbsp;130 of german criminal laws) by the public prosecutor of Cottbus (Germany). Hamer's image of himself as a genius misunderstood and victim of a monstrous international Jewish-Masonic-Catholic plot is received well within the extreme right. Not surprisingly, he has found supporters there and was invited by several extremist right groups to give lectures. The extremist right German paper ''Junge Freiheit'' praised him, as well as the extremist Swiss website ''Recht und Freiheit''. Among those opening their doors to Hamer was the extremist right and antisemitic Christian cult Bruderschaft Salem (Salem Brotherhood) which is known for its collaboration with the convicted German Nazi lawyer Jürgen Rieger. Hamer's cult can be described as a "supercult". With its message that all disease can be healed, spiced up with antisemitic paranoia, he can gain acceptance with a range of other cranks. According to an article in Austrian newspaper Der Standard in 1995, Hamer denied the holocaust in a conversation with a female cancer patient. Hamer did not know his patient was Jewish herself; she was horrified and reported the incident to the newspaper. Hamer's own words can be seen here: <ref>''[...] Die Juden haben ihre Namen köpfen lassen [...] sie wurden nicht umgebracht, sie verschwanden einfach. Und lassen es sich gut gehen unter anderem Namen, auf Kosten des deutschen Volkes, das Wiedergutmachung zahlen muss. Sieben Millionen ermordete Juden leben also! [...]''</ref>.

An interview of Hamer published in Italian language in 2006 further documents his denial of the holocaust.<ref>[...] Sollen wir nun glauben daß dies alles eine wissenschaftliche Basis hat? Ich glaube noch nicht einmal an den Holocaust, jedenfalls nicht in der Weise wie er uns erzählt wird, und da bin ich natürlich nicht der Einzige. Ich glaube auch nicht nicht, dass der Mensch auf dem Mond war, und viel schlimmer, dass die Twin Towers durch Araber zum Einsturz gebracht wurden, aber daran glaubt ja nun fast niemand mehr [...]</ref>
