Why can’t modern Nazis disavow ancient Nazi practice in favor of some true essence that makes sense in modern terms?
One can argue that holocaust denial is an attempt to bring nazism closer to modern ethical values.
Real, authentic Nazis were proud of their achievement and would be outraged by thought that their successors would call them a lie.

Not publicly. Holocaust denial exists since it (mass murdering of certain groups of humans) make them look bad. Of course, it is Insane Troll Logic, but I do not think anyone expects sane logic from Nazis.

Real, authentic Nazis were also Holocaust deniers. It wasn’t public knowledge.
It sounds like you’re using the word “Nazi” differently.
